Description:
Plosxom is a blogsoftware written in PHP by Pali Dhar. The
project is a rewrite of phposxom. Blogposts are stored in
textfiles, categories are simple directories. Plosxom has a
comprehensive plugin api, which allows to add almost any
functionality or to replace existing functionality.
Phposxom were itself a php rewrite of blosxom, but the
developer has abandoned the project. I am using it, because I
cannot run perl where my site is hosted and because it is small.
However, the sourcecode of phposxom were nearly unmaintanable,
inefficient and bad styled (sorry Robert). Since I use it on an
every day basis, I decided to completely rewrite it. Plosxom was
born.
Many of the blosxom forks out there have been abandoned too,
especially the php ports (there are lots of it). None of them
seemed to be a usefull base for me. Most of them justify their
decision that if it were developed further it would become too far
to existing projects like wordpress and they didn't want to
re-invent the wheel.
While I share this view in general, I also see a lot of
disadvantages with wordpress: its storage backend can't be
replaced. It depends on MySQL, which is the worst database system
on the planet. With plosxom you could write a sqlite backend or
whatever you like, even a mysql backend. Wordpress is also a
"large biest", it contains a lot of source code and thus a lot of
problems, especially from the security point of view.
Speaking of security - plosxom were developed with strong
security in mind. Since there is almost no cgi input being used in
the software, this goal were not difficult to achive. Everything
which gets into the script will be filtered for bogus characters.
Future attacks are hopefully prevented using this technique.
There is no administration backend delivered with plosxom,
because you write textfiles (or upload them) - that's all. Without
admin backend, the blog can't be hijacked like most other blogs
could be.
The plosxom core engine is very small. In fact, I wrote it in
just two days. This sounds like a hell of a crap, but it isn't.
Much functionality is provided by plugins, even core functions,
such as text file management, is coded as a plugin. Since we are
using smarty as our template engine there are endless possibilities
to enhance plosxom. You can write a simple plugin along with a
simple smarty function and that's it.
For now, plosxom doesn't provide built-in comment support due
to security reasons. Instead comments can be outsourced to
Haloscan. However, perhaps someone will write a comment plugin some
day, who knows.
What's New in This Release:
· A Web-based installer has been added.
· Plosxom now features a Web-based administration
interface.
· Several bugs have been fixed.
