Gosh those blogs look great -- I just created a RollerUsers page:
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/ROLLER/RollerUsers including
your blogs (if you don't mind) to advertise Roller's capabilities, and
welcome others to add their blogs.
Please work from Roller trunk (not 5.0, but the source codes are nearly
identical) and if you can submit patches using SVN and JIRA (our Git is
read-only) that would be easier for us to look at. We already have a
JIRA item you can apply the patch item to:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ROL-706. The proposed change,
while nice, may have three problems: (1) the solution will need to be
database-neutral so it may take awhile before we can apply such a patch
(we may never be able to do so, but it would at least be able to have
the patch ready)--that said, I suspect Roller supports too many
databases making it crippling to provide additional database
functionality, those that obligate us to have to use a specific
OS--specifically, MS SqlServer--may need to be first on the chopping
block but I digress; (2) the developers most knowledgeable about the
source are quite busy so may not have time to get to it, (3) adding this
additional functionality could open up a can of worms (lots of bugs and
complaints about lost files, etc., early on) We might be able to label
this functionality as experimental/new as a warning to those trying it.
Thanks,
Glen

Hello,
We sent a new series of blogs built with Roller :-) We speak about
financial and legacy for private banking.
In french you will have :
http://www.guywagnerblog.com/fre/
http://www.femmesetpatrimoine.lu/femmes/
http://www.banquedeluxembourgnews.com/actualites/
In English you will have :
http://www.guywagnerblog.com/eng/
http://www.banquedeluxembourgnews.com/news/
It exists translation for dutch, german and spanish too.
I allow himself to post onto these two mailing list because I will explain
a few things how to do it. I think you like the products else you should
not use it.
We need to modify the source code to be able to display list articles and
themes macro to keep the day information. In our case, it is not usefull to
have list of posts by day. The themes use responsiv design concepts so we
can be displayed nicely on iphone/android and tabs.
The most important thing to understand is our use of category. We created
severals categories as news, ads, events... ant each category is used to
display informations into an area of the page. The left main panel (with
pagination) is only news category. On the right sidebar, we will have
advertisement, events, archives... It is very different concept than
classic use into Roller. In the same page we display numerous categories
rather than filtering with them. It is a powerfull system to build complex
page but very easily. It is easy for publisher to choose how to display the
post ^^ You can imagine we have modified macro for that. Therefore it is
not too hard to do it.
Moreever, we create a page for generating newsletter (using tags associated
with posts)
http://www.guywagnerblog.com/fre/page/newsletter?version=NL_2013_03_01
So we can send via email outlook or sarbacane (or mailchimp) the whole page
:-)
Another great but more complicated things we did is to display posts into
other blogs to keep duplication of articles
http://www.banquedeluxembourgnews.com/news/
This blog "news" has own posts and display too posts from guywagnerblog. It
is possible because we hack tags methods and we have rules to name tags.
I hope the design is nice for you too. We try to do beautiful things
(similar size, width) to be homogeneous between spaces.
I am trying to work onto roller 5 and in few days I will post into github
the source code to store resources media into database. For replication
between servers we could not use the filesystem so we had this feature. I
hesitate to use elasticsearch rather than database for our migration. See
you soon.
Sorry for my bad speaking english. I am french :)
Best regards,
