soBlog

A simple blog built by node.js , express4 and mongodb. Live demo just look at here : lingyong.me

Getting Started

Before you start in soBlog, you should install node.js and mongodb.

After that you should pull the code to local.

Do that :

npm install

sudo npm install

And then, edit the settings.example.js to settings.js.

(function() {
  module.exports = {
    cookieParser: '',    
    cookieSecret: '',
    db: 'qorablog',        //mongodb db_name
    host: 'localhost',
    root: __dirname,      
    QnClient: {            //Using qiuniu to store images.
      accessKey: '',             
      secretKey: '',
      bucket: '',
      domain: ''
    },
    perPageBlogSize: 10,   //In bloglist view, how many blogs can be shown.
    googleAuthKey: '',    //When you login blog, there will have a googleAuth, this is the googleAuthKey.
    loginPwd: '',         //Passwd to login.
    loginUserName: '',    //UserName to login.
    titles: {
      blog_bloglist: "Blog · QORA BLOG · Innovative From The Core",
      blog_perBlog: "QORA BLOG · Innovative From The Core",
      blog_post: "POST BLOG · Innovative From The Core",
      blog_view: "View · QORA BLOG · Innovative From The Core",
      blog_edit: "Edit · QORA BLOG · Innovative From The Core",
      cover: "Cover · QORA BLOG · Innovative From The Core",
      eachCover: "QORA BLOG · Innovative From The Core",
      postCover: "Post Cover · QORA BLOG · Innovative From The Core",
      editCover: "Edit Cover · QORA BLOG · Innovative From The Core",
      index: "QORA BLOG · Innovative From The Core",
      about: "QORA · Innovative From The Core",
      manage: "manage · QORA BLOG · Innovative From The Core",
      login: "login · QORA BLOG · Innovative From The Core",
      tags: "Tag · QORA BLOG · Innovative From The Core",
      eachTag: "QORA BLOG · Innovative From The Core"
    }
  };

}).call(this);

Remark

soBlog use qiniu to store images, so before you can use soBlog you should register a account in qiniu.com.

You also need edit the googleAuthKey, for example:

googleAuthKey: 'This_is_a_demoe_authkey'

After you start the soBlog in node app.js,you will see things like that:

express-session deprecated undefined saveUninitialized option; provide saveUninitialized option config/express.js:67:13
key for googleAuth app: KRUGS427NFZV6YK7MRSW233FL5QXK5DINNSXS===
Express server listening on port 3000
connected

So you should copy the key for googleAuth app to your googleAuth app.

Watch out

OK, soBlog just a demo, not a product, so, if you want to use it to build your blog, you must be careful.

It built in express4, jade, mongoose, bootstrap, so it may do some help for a node.js beginner.

And also , you should make a upload_tmp dir.
