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”.
