Nucleus
A powerful blog script featuring
multiple blogs, multiple authors
drafts and future posts, bookmarklets
Nucleus Features
Core Features
With Nucleus, you can set up one or more weblogs.
If you want to, you can even show the contents of multiple weblogs
on the same page.
Multiple Authors
Each blog has its own team of authors. Some authors will only
have posting rights, others will be allowed to change settings for
the blog as well.
Categories
Within a weblog, you can set up one or more categories.
Each item you add in your weblog will be put in one of these categories.
Built-in commenting system
Nucleus provides a built-in Commenting System, so there's no need
for external commentingtools.
A karma-voting system is also provided.
FancyURLs
If your webserver supports it, Nucleus can provide URLs optimized
for both readers and search engines, like:
* http://example.org/item/1234
* http://example.org/archives/1
* http://example.org/category/6/blogid/1
In a hurry? Need some more thinking? Mark an item as draft and
continue working on it later. Or would you like an item to only
appear starting from a certain date? Mark it as a future item.
Fully Tweakable
The way your Nucleus site looks is fully tweakable through
skins and templates, and multiple CSS files. Next to that,
the language used by the Nucleus admin area can easily be
changed through language-files.
Plugins
Additional features can be programmed in so called plugins
(see Nucleus plugins API) and be installed on Nucleus.
This allows you to have the features you want, without having the
Nucleus core to become bloated. The Nucleus plugin interface
offers plugin authors lots of flexibility. For examples of how plugins
can extend Nucleus funtionality, see further down in this document.
Bookmarklet and right-click blogging
So, you're visiting a site and want to write something about it
on your weblog. No need to open the admin area, just open
the bookmarklet or use the right-click context menu option and
an add-item window will popup. Easy!
Archives and Search
Archives for your weblogs are automatically managed by Nucleus,
and a search function is provided to look up old items.
Nucleus also features highlighting search terms,
both in articles
and in comments!
RSS and Atom Syndication
Syndication feeds are provided (as skins). Nucleus provides
RSS and Atom feeds. Extra feed types (your favorite RSS flavor)
can be added easily.
XML-RPC interface: Blogger, metaWeblog and MovableType APIs
Nucleus provides implementations of the Blogger,
metaWeblog and
MovableType APIs. This means that Nucleus can be used with tools
like w.Bloggar, Ecto, Zempt, ...
File/Image Upload
Want to include an image in an item? Open the media popup,
choose a file to upload and off you go! No need to open an FTP
program and upload the file manually.
IP-banlist
Some nasty people screwing up your comments? Ban their IP
address or IP range or nickname from further comments/votes.
Backup/Restore
With a simple click you can create a backup version of the
database contents.
Plugins?
Plugins can extend Nucleus to almost everything you desire.
The reason why these features are not included in the Nucleus Core,
is that we didn't want it to become bloated. Some of you will like
these features, others will like others. Nucleus provides a lightweight
tool that can be used for different purposes, by simply plugging in
the needed plugins.
