I have updated the Storylog (v0.29) and Storyfilter (v0.39) plugins for Blosxom. Both now include file locking so there should be no problems with simultaneous access to a site causing file corruption any more.

Storylog now includes an ignore list for URLs and user agents so search engine hits can be ignored so they won't affect the 'most popular clicks' list.

Storyfilter now has the option to generate a list of all keywords, which is useful for site maps. This requires the line
meta-showkeywords: yes
to be included at the start of the story and fills the $storyfilter::allkeywords variable with the list.

Both plugins can be downloaded here.

Storylog is another Blosxom plugin. It logs the category views (and if storyfilter is installed, optionally logs keyword links).
Download the current version (version 0.20).
Instructions are in the zip file (no perldoc yet). For a demonstration of storylog in action, see the 'Most popular clicks' in the menu bar on the left. This uses the 'combined' log of both categories and keywords.

I have been steadily working on my two blosxom plugins - this one and storylog. Storyfilter is now up to version 0.31 with the following improvements:

• Now includes documentation in the file itself, rather than in a seperate readme.
• Keywords treates as case-insensitive
• Only matches at the start of a keyword, for example, 'review' will still match 'reviews' but 'work' will no longer match 'network'

Download the current version (version 0.31).
Instructions are found in the file itself.

I have update the plugin to version 0.23 and fixed a few problems:

• The keyword cache file is now rebuilt from scratch rather than waiting until all the stories have been viewed.
• Rebuilding the cache can be forced by appending ?refresh=full to the url.
• Bug fixed which stopped stories being viewed if they were in the blosxom main directory (ie not in a category) when /keyword was being used.

Download the latest version (version 0.23).
Further instructions are in the zip file.
There are still some problems with using /keyword instead of ?keyword= but they don't seem to be critical.

Blosxom is a pretty good bit of blog software but it's main weakness is the inability to place a story into several categories without duplicate postings. This plugin is an attempt to recify that.
Storyfilter maintains a list of keywords and allows stories to be selected according to keywords. The keywords associated with each story can be displayed and if the user clicks on one, blosxom will display only those stories which contain that keyword. See more ...
