Re: Missing plugins in pyblosxom.cgi

Hi Luiz!

If the verify installation thing worked (that's what running
./pybloxom.cgi) does, then everything is probably working just fine.

I'm guessing that the reason you don't see the calendar or the categories
is that you're probably using the default flavour templates.  You'll need
to create your own flavour templates that use the $calendar and
$categorylinks variables.  These variables will be expanded into the
calendar and category links list when the page is being rendered by
pyblosxom.

In the installation tar file, there should be a contrib directory.  In
that directory, there's a flavour_examples directory that has a series of
files in it.  Take all the ones that end in .html, place them in your
datadir--that'll give you a good start for building your html flavour.
At some point in one of those files (usually people put the $categorylinks
and $calendar variables in their head.html or foot.html files) you should
add those variables.

Hope that helps--if you have any additional questions, let me know.
