q about some features

Post by zman »

Hello everybody!

I'm newbie in Serendipity blog.
i'm looking for some features in this blog:
- Bookmarklets
- friendly URLs
- gzip output content
- cache tuning
- Post Ordering (news/comments) ascending/descending/by user/by date/by Categories(Subcategories)
- Keywords
- Limited (News) Post Fields
- Draft Mode (submitting unpublished drafts of posts)
- Daily Visitor Logs + Referrer Logs + Search phrase
- Last 10 (xx) Users posts/comments

Is it possible to turn this features on?
Or maybe possible to add this features by plugins?

Thanks and best regards,
zman

Hi!
- Bookmarklets
Do you mean a "blogroll"? You can do that with the "Linklist" plugin
- friendly URLs
"Rewrite URLs" can be enabled with serendipity, permalinks can be freely configured. Your server needs to either support mod_rewrite or Apache Errorhandling of course.
- gzip output content
This should be enabled in your webserver. It is not wise to do that on an application level as it costs more performance. Having said that, serendipity supports gzip output.
- cache tuning
Serendipity has two Caching plugins; one for a per-entry cache, one for caching full pages.
- Post Ordering (news/comments) ascending/descending/by user/by date/by Categories(Subcategories)
You can define that in your template. Several order modes for archives etc. are available. There also is a plugin to sort entries by custom properties.
- Keywords
Can either be done by editing a template or using the meta keywords plugin, or using custom entryproperty fields.
- Limited (News) Post Fields
Plugins can define the amount of extra input fields.
- Draft Mode (submitting unpublished drafts of posts)
Supported within the core.
- Daily Visitor Logs + Referrer Logs + Search phrase
Visitor logs should better be traced with logfile analyzers, or use Google Analytics. Serendipity has some statistics plugin, but they can only help you so far.
- Last 10 (xx) Users posts/comments
Available as a sidebar plugin.

Have a try at Serendipity. I'm sure you'll like it. :)

Best regards,
Garvin
