Re: Setting depth with the flav_config plugin

I'm don't know who you contacted, but I didn't receive any mail from you 
and I wrote flav_config!

I think Will answered this in a later mail...the filelist plugin is 
where the entries are Walk-ed and hence where the depth setting is used.

Another suggestion for setting the depth (untested but should work if 
you adjust the startswith to include your pyblosxom script name etc.), 
is to use the following in your config.py:


import os
if os.environ.has_key("PATH_INFO") and  \
os.environ["PATH_INFO"].startswith('/photos'):
     py["depth"] = 1
else:
     py["depth"] = 0


One last thing is that the flav_config plugin will not even set the 
number of entries correctly in the forthcoming pyblosxom version 1.1. 
This is because the number of entries will be truncated in the filelist 
plugin.

I've removed the depth example from the plugin and added a note about 
the 1.1 problem.
