Iris and I must ride the Ferris wheel

Update: There are newer versions available; please use the newest version unless you have a particular reason not to.

Second plugin: categories

This builds a tree display structure of your category tree, like the one on my sidebar.

1. download it, and rename it "categories"


2. Stick it in your blosxoms plugin directory


3. Look at the configuration variables; You probably want to set @prune_dirs to the empty list, unless you have a very branchy tree.


4. Add "$categories::categories" to your head.$flavour or tail.$flavour file
   

Things that might be added to this at some point

• depth limits


• Showing more details 'near' the current location than further away in the tree


• more output formats?


• anything else wanted/needed?

Working against the Blosxom plugin docs Rael posted last night, I've converted my blogroll generator to a Blosxom plugin.

Not having an actual copy of Blosxom 2.0beta, this is currently absolutely completely untested, but it looks sane to me...Hopefully all that's required is

1. download it and rename it blogroll


2. Stick it in your blosxoms plugin directory


3. Configure the '@source_files' variable (the $output_format variable, you probably don't want to mess with yet)


4. Add "$blogroll::blogroll" to your head.$flavour or tail.$flavour file
   

Of course, it's not likely to be quite that simple to begin with. Until I get a comment plugin working, either the blosxom mailing list or personal mail to me would work best for discussing any issues.
