Description jsvrp.gw 2004-08-01 15:17:59 UTC

Version:           beta5 (using KDE KDE 3.2.92)
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages

First let's make one thing clear. aKregator should become a weblogging tool, there are other applications who can do this. 

What I mean is to have the option in the context menu to add a article URL to your personal weblog (e.g. blogger). It will than open your browser with the selected url in the edit-field of your favorite weblog-tool.

You can make it yourself with the help of Konquerors servicemenus, but  aKregator does not have  a context menu in the article viewer. I think that's  a good choice, but on the other hand it limits the user to add custom commands.

An idea would be to have a options-tab where you can add personal options, but this is something for later. Now you can have an option tab where you can choose your weblog or add a custom command to access a less popular-weblogsystem.

Cheers,

Jeroen

Note: "aKregator should become a weblogging tool, there are other applications who can do this." should read:

"aKregator should NOT become a weblogging tool, there are other applications who can do this."

I see how can this probably be accomplished with DCOP, with little changes to aKregator side, so I close it for now.

Comment 3 jsvrp.gw 2004-08-02 14:27:06 UTC

I don't see how this can be done with DCOP. Because dcop  cannot add  context-menu-entries in aKregator. So I will reopen this wish-item.

Reopened as  specified in previous comment.

Comment 5 Stanislav Karchebny 2004-08-02 14:50:28 UTC

Theres only one akregator and lots of weblog tools. It will be an overkill to add support for all them to akr, so instead I propose to reverse the direction and add akregator support to blogger tools. This means DCOP, shared libraries, KParts, whatever you may suggest. Lets keep akr clean of blogger bloat.

Comment 6 Sashmit Bhaduri 2004-08-09 23:32:42 UTC

yeah, I agree. I don't think we should clutter akregator itself with webblogging tools. On the other hand, I wouldn't object if there integration between akregator and a blogging app, or if a blogging app that used akregator's infastructure. I'm planning on developping the latter.

Comment 7 jsvrp.gw 2004-08-27 17:59:53 UTC

Maybe it's a good idea to allow akregator to use the same minitools as in Konqueror. This will allow, at least Blogger to my knowledge, users to send a url to their weblog.

Cheers,

Jeroen

Actually there is a new project, called "kblogger". Maybe it should be used from akgregator (and other kdeapps) for creating new post.
Akgregator and kblogger devs could think about this.

Comment 9 jsvrp.gw 2013-01-16 12:20:10 UTC

I give up on this one. After five years nothing is done with it. It is just a simple request to add an option to share articles to social media sites or weblogs. Every other rss application has this nowadays.

You can close this bug item!

Comment 10 Allen Winter 2013-01-16 15:34:21 UTC

reopening.  I think this is a good wish.
Not that I'm volunteering, but just because we don't have time to implement doesn't mean it isn't a valid wish.

Comment 11 jsvrp.gw 2013-01-16 19:35:10 UTC

Alright, whatever you wish. ;) Although this wish item should now be read as: "Please add sharing options for social network sites and blogs?"
