Some problems with Firedrop2
Tool69
I'm testing Firedrop2 and I have some questions ( sorry, I'm a newbie
with html and css):
1. I've made 5 posts and I deleted the #2 and #3, now on my blog I can
see posts #1,#4 and #5...why do they are not re-numbered #1,#2 and #3 ?
How can I disable these numbers appearing on my blog ?
2. Is there any macro or plugin to make thumbnails from a given image
on a hard drive ?
3. How can I migrate my Dotclear blog to Firedrop2 ?
My first impressions are really good, I thank you much for your
beautiful work :

If you delete those post numbers, you may make it harder for your readers to bookmark the pages, but it's up to you.
You will have to edit the template .html files in order to get rid of the post numbers if you don't want them. read up on this documentation page:
http://voidspace.org.uk/python/firedrop2/introduction_to_templates.html
then find entry_template.html in your blog folder, and then look for and delete this code (make a backup copy of the entry template file in case you change your mind or screw up):
<a title="Permanent link to this post"If you change Themes, you'll have to make the change again, as a new entry_template.html file will be put in your blog folder.
id="e<% entry.get_id() %>"
name="e<% entry.get_id() %>"
href="<% permalink( entry.get_id()) %>"
>#<% entry.get_id() %></a>
2. Is there any macro or plugin to make thumbnails from a given image
on a hard drive ?
that's not part of Firedrop. There may be python scripts that do that, you can look in http://cheeseshop.python.org/pypi
3. How can I migrate my Dotclear blog to Firedrop2 ?
some manual work will be required. If your Dotclear blog entries don't have a lot of formatting, you might just cut and paste the text into new Firedrop entries. If there is lots of html formatting, you could open each Dotclear entry on a separate browser, page, then Save As html files. Firedrop can then import the html file into a new entry. Does that help?
My first impressions are really good, I thank you much for your

These post numbers functions as IDs. They uniquely identify each post.
Their actual value isn't important, which is why I (the original
author of Firedrop) didn't bother to add code that renumbers them.
However, they important because they appear in permalinks, etc.
That said, you don't have to display these numbers in your weblog, of
course. For example, in the template code quoted by Stewart:
> <a title="Permanent link to this post"
> id="e<% entry.get_id() %>"
> name="e<% entry.get_id() %>"
> href="<% permalink(
> entry.get_id()) %>"
> >#<% entry.get_id() %></a>
...you could replace the part between <a> and </a> with something like
"permalink". This way, the number won't show up, but it's still used
"internally" to create a unique link to the post.
Hope this helps!

I've made some modifications with my template file, in fact I've just
commented out the part between <a> and </a>, but I'm still not
convinced with it because of the id generated numbers.
Hans : sorry I didn't understood your answer, if I write something
like <a>"permalink"</a>,
1. I don't see how the id will still get created ;
2. I'll always have a "permalink" name on all my enties.
So why does Firedrop2 simply doesn't delete the old entries correctly
? If I decide to delete one, then Firedrop2 should renumber all the
posts id by date...this is just a suggestion.
Stewart : Good French speaking, bravo ! For the thumbnails, I've
already done such a little script, but I wanted it inside the gui of
Firedrop2. ie : choosing an image on my drive, create the thumbnail and
tranfer the images inside one of my blog images directories. Thanks for
the suggestions with the Dotclear migration, I'll try them when I find
time for.
Another question : How can I put categories inside my personnal links ?
I've found an interesting pdf cheatsheet for the Textile format, maybe
you could put a link to it on the Firedrop2 website, it helped me a
lot, so maybe
others...http://hypertexthero.com/dlog/pdf-textile-reference
See you, thanks :

well), but you don't need to keep them in your template.
I don't understand the problem as you stated it above - is the ID
*still* appearing in your pages ?
If so, can you show us the actual snippet from your template.
> 2. I'll always have a "permalink" name on all my enties.

Just remove that from your template. If you show us your
'entry_tamplate.html', we can advise how to edit it.

No.
If you have a lot of entries, then you don't want them all renumbered as
this will destroy the 'permalinks' of *all* your later entries. (Which
people bookmark to get to specific posts.)

Hmm... I'm not 100 percent clear on what you want, but it ought to be
fairly easy to write a plugin that provides some of the functionality
you want. Using PIL to create thumbnails is *startlingly* easy. Perhaps
you could give it a try :-)

What do you mean by personal links ? Do you mean inside your entry
template ?

Great, thanks, I'll try to remember to add this to the docs.
All the best,

When I create a post in textile format, I can't put any accent in the
title.
My encoding (inside build.ini) is latin1...if you've got any idea.

enconding applies only with the content, not the title. What can I do
to solve this ?

Another answer is to go to http://firedrop2.python-hosting.com/ and file this a bug that needs fixing.

Ok thanks Stewart I prefer this one but which file should I fix ? My
firedrop2 directory contains many...
I had a look at several ones with no success (htmltools.py,
publisher.py, ...).

I'm cc'ing this to the developer list to see if anyone else has an idea how to fix this easily.
