Products.QuillsEnabled 1.8a1

A Blogging Suite for Plone.

Quills is an Enterprise Weblog System for the Plone content management system. It is designed from the ground up to work well and provide specialized features for a multi-blog, multi-user environment.

Requires Plone 3.1 or later.

Getting started

QuillsEnabled allows you to use Plone Folders, Documents and News Items for blogging. To create a blog, simply add a new Folder and select “Activate Blog” from the “Actions” menu, then add Pages/New Items for each new post. Existing folders can be turned into a blog the same way. To change a Blog back into a plain and boring folder, select “Deactive blog” from the Actions menu.

Extensions

There are a few packages that add extra functionality to your Blog.

quills.remoteblogging

Use your Blog with any Weblog Editor that supports the MetaWeblog API. This feature requires the Products.MetaWeblogPASPlugin product to be installed into your Plone site.

Pitfalls

There is a slight incompatibility with Quintagroup’s Plone Comments product. To fix it, open the ZMI of your Plone site and go to the “portal_form_controler”. There select the tab “Actions” and delete the overide “discussion_reply_form”.
