Habari and flickr

Started by Andrew Rickmann · 8 months ago

I decided earlier on that I wanted to have a blog running Habari; it is one thing to write nice things about it and quite another to use it in anger and live with it over time. I mentioned the flickr integration on twitter and more details were asked for so that that is [...] ... Continue reading »

    Thanks for the post! Nice screencast.

    It should also be noted that it's not just Flickr we support: there are plugins for storing files on your own server (standard uploading), Viddler, YouTube, and even last.fm. The Core API makes it very easy to build plugins (which we call silos) that integrate external services.

    How much is Habari paying you, and when will this blog's name be changed to Habari fun?

    Just kidding! I couldn't resist that one. That is admittedly some pretty sweet looking integration they have going there. Habari does look interesting, personally I'd be most interesting in how it performs as a CMS, that what really drew me to Wordpress. That and all the plugins it supports.

    Morgante, I haven't tied the others yet but I noticed that they were available, thanks for bringing it up.

    ZATZAi, good point. I am conscious that this is a WordPress blog but Habari fascinates me. I must try and get the balance right. I haven't tried Habari's pages yet, but it has them.

    ZATZAi, actually Habari is set up to end up being an even better CMS than WordPress. The number one reason is out extensible content-type system: you're not locked into just having entries and pages. To add a new content type, it's just a matter of adding _one_ line of code to a plugin. Additionally, the publishing interface is completely pluggable so plugins can easily add custom fields. Examples of new content-types we've been able to develop are: events, plugins/themes (for our repository), and podcasts. We're also working on a cool system of sorting out where different content should show up in a theme (ex. put pages in the header, entries and podcasts in the content area, and events in the sidebar)
