Some questions about LiveBlog - Superdesk Development Discussions on Sourcefabric Forum

Butov Stanislav

Hi all!

When using the program, I had a few problems. I would be glad if someone can help!

1. How can I edit a theme? I made changes to a file liveblog.css which is located in the folder/ally-py/live-blog/plugins/livedesk-embed/gui-themes/themes/default , but the changes were not accepted and appearance remained the same. How can I change the theme of your blog?

2. I uploaded to the server the localization file with the extension .po, but it has not brought results: Russian language does not appear in the list. How to fix it?

3. Is it possible to do to broadcast that I'm in your blog then transferred to RSS to broadcast to third party services?

Hello Butov Stanislav,

First of all maybe it wasn't put in the wiki but that plugin `liveblog-embed` was replace by just `embed`.

( It is kept for legacy code only ).

so.

1. liveblog.css for default theme in the embed is located here `folder/ally-py/live-blog/plugins/embed/gui-themes/themes/default` or better view in github: https://github.com/superdesk/Live-Blog/blob/master/plugins/embed/gui-themes/themes/default/liveblog.css

2. the process of localization and dealing with it is a bit complex:

first you should add a Russian Language from defaults language or in a request

ex:

for a newlly added:

https://github.com/superdesk/Live-Blog/blob/master/plugins/livedesk/__plugin__/livedesk/populate_default_data.py

line 43:

LANGUAGES = { 'en', 'de', 'fr', 'ru' }

or by request for a

curl --data "Code=ru" -XPOST http://<server>/resources/Localization/Language

3. We don't support this feature now, but something can be build based on the api.

Also in the plan for version 3 there will be more things like that and integration with broadcast services.

1) You need to run `build-eggs` script in order to rebuild theme files. But currently it isn't working for me as expected. I have submitted a PR with a possible fix: https://github.com/superdesk/Live-Blog/pull/880

3) related info also added in that PR

Hi Nistor!

I have again a problem. I make changes to the file liveblog.css in the directory you specified but nothing changes. After rebooting the server, no changes too :(

madhu

I am also experiencing same issue. How to cusomize liveblog.css?

Butov Stanislav

I want to contact the developers with problems:

1. Can't edit the default theme. Change the css file, but nothing happens, the color scheme does not change. Installed the program on this tutorial: https://github.com/superdesk/Live-Blog/blob/master/INSTALL.md

2. No integration with Facebook. Got the key from the social network, has been entered in the settings LiveBlog. In the panel have the icon of facebook, but the system is not authenticated and comments on behalf of the user facebook cannot keep. How to fix it?

3. Where can I view a detailed installation of the service with the generation of static html pages, since I would like to blog indexed by search engines.

Best regards, Stanislav

Hi Yauhen!

I did everything as you wrote: replaced the contents of the file 'build-eggs'

#!/bin/sh

python_cli=python3.2

current_dir=$(readlink -e $(dirname "$0"))

distribution_dir=$current_dir/distribution

ally_py_dir=$(readlink -e $current_dir/..)

cleanup="$distribution_dir/plugins $distribution_dir/components $distribution_dir/distribution.properties"

for path in $cleanup; do rm -r "$path"; done

dirs="$ally_py_dir/components $ally_py_dir/plugins $current_dir/plugins"

export PYTHONPATH=distribution/tools/distribute-0.6.27-py3.2.egg

for dir in $dirs; do $python_cli "$dir/build_egg.py"; done

$python_cli "$current_dir/plugins/copy_eggs.py"

I Replaced the css file values .container{width:600px;margin-left:20px;margin-top:20px;overflow:hidden}.container{width:100%;margin-left:20px;margin-top:20px;overflow:hidden} ran the script again, restarted the service, but nothing has changed :(

And I would like to clarify which version of the blog, which is in this thread?: https://github.com/superdesk/liveblog

Now everything turned out! Wonderful! Now I will deal with the localization and the generation of a static page :)

What can you say about integration with Facebook?

Butov Stanislav

Please provide the full path of the file you have edited. Probably you are editing already builded file instead of source one or something else.
