Re: Comments on pyblosxom

The pyblosxom web-site is having some severe difficulties, so Wari slid
the site over to pyblosxom.wari.org--but it's probably not fully there or
something along those lines.  This has all happened in the last like 36
hours or so.

The template variables are listed on that page, but that page seems to be
kicking up an exception right now.

I'm puzzled as to why you think $blog_title has the path embedded in it.
$blog_title should be coming from your config.py file.

$path gets populated for each entry.  So it'll show up in the story
templates, but not head, foot or content_type.

$path_info is a list of the path elements involved.  For instance, my blog
is at:

   http://www.bluesock.org/~willg/blog/

which gets translated via mod_rewrite to:

   http://www.bluesock.org/~willg/cgi-bin/pyblosxom.cgi/

In that url, the $path_info should be [] (the empty list) because there's
no path elements.

If I chose to look at January of 2003, the url would be:

   http://www.bluesock.org/~willg/blog/2003/Jan/

which gets translated to:

   http://www.bluesock.org/~willg/cgi-bin/pyblosxom.cgi/2003/Jan/

and the $path_info is ["2003", "Jan"].

I'm not sure why you're having problems with that, but I suspect it's
because you're looking at the root of your blog where the $path_info is
empty.

Hope that helps.  Wari's working hard to resolve these things as soon as
he can.  Sorry for the inconvenience and confusion it's caused, though.
