nicholas's Issues

About page

I know your goal with this platform was a simple blogging system, but would it be possible to add a way to add static pages like an "about" page?

Add tests

Tests required for API endpoints, JSON & RSS feeds, potentially front-end functionality

Add direct site URL and post URLs in RSS & JSON feeds

Will need some kind of config option to set site URL then some logic to work out post URLs and then add these to the JSON & RSS feeds.

Req Search feature

Can you add search feature? like search based on title?

HEAD requests generate 404

Currently, any HEAD request on a post's (slug) URL will return HTTP/404 Not found.

This seems to be related to the request routing code, e.g.

$router->map('GET','/[:slug]/', function($slug) {

I can change this to read GET|HEAD instead, and it actually generates HTTP/200 for HEAD requests then, but it does also output Content-Length: 0 in this case, which is wrong. It's still better than returning a 404, but clearly not the correct fix.

Is there an easy way to generate proper HEAD responses in nicholas?

TIA!

Simple Theme system

Add classes in the html code so that a simple css file can be used to create themes by changing colors, font ...

Remove /page/ prefix from pages, have page slugs take priority

Doesn't Work on Localhost

Hi Adam,

Just trying out your blog system (well, trying to). Hopefully I can get it working.

I have it installed here:
http://localhost/site/blog/

The config is:
'blog_url' => 'http://localhost/site/blog',
'base_url' => '/blog'

But when I launch all I see is "Oops, Error 404" at the following url:
http://localhost/site/blog/

Any ideas? Thank you.
