Updated blog engine.

To my amusement I discovered that I didn’t update for half a year.

Half a hour, few bumps and couple of facepalms and everything is back in norm.

Выскажусь по поводу попадания newforms-admin в django-trunk.

Кто не подумав обновил django-trunk до Changeset 7967 — сам себе злобный Буратино.

В моем случае это вылилось в неработающий django-photologue, но мне повезло: следующая версия photologue доступна и заточена под newforms-admin.

Теперь нас ждет увлекательный процесс переписывания кусков Byteflow с учетом изменений в 7967.

Rejoice. At last reCaptcha was accepted to Byteflow main tree.

Just in case I need it two years later.

From python-openid server implementation overview:

Today I have integrated reCaptcha in Byteflow blog engine.

Solution is based on this article.

For now I’m waiting it’s inclusion in main Byteflow source tree.

Yesterday I have finished integration of OpenID server in Django-based blog engine Byteflow.

It’s a self contained Django application instead of full project so you can easily integrate it into your own projects.

Лог беседы с Виктором Вагнером о блогодвижке Byteflow и его месте в концепции построения распределенных блогов:

If someone interested in English version let me know and I’ll translate it.

Looks like python-openid bug I stumbled upon earlier that prevented Byteflow OpenID server interaction with OpenID 1.0 RP was resolved both in upstream (darcs repo) and via patch for current Debian package.

So now I have a working OpenID server implementation. Its based on Djangoid project by Nicolas Trangez, but implemented as almost self-contained Django application (it lost some guts during transplantation; lets hope it regrows them later).

It uses python-openid library and currently serves auth requests only for superuser on Byteflow blog.

Its not ready to be included in main Byteflow tree because of syncdb problems when using MySQL, really ugly templates and incorrect python-openid behavior.

To track current state of this application you can use this branch of Byteflow repository.

Almost got it working.

OpenID Server will be arranged as Django application to ease further integration with Byteflow blog engine.
