After receiving numerous requests for the source behind the site, I've tossed together an official release. I'm calling it Poseidon, because I've never named anything Poseidon and I thought it might be fun. You can read more, and download the code, at Poseidon's very own page.

Ok I installed it fine, but now I can't figure out how to post articles or anything, I can log into my site, but nothing else.

MySQL?
So how about us poor fools who still swear allegiance to PostGreSQL and categorically refuse to install MySQL?
Re: MySQL?
Well, since the driving concept behind Poseidon is simplicity, it's targeted for MySQL. MySQL is simple and fast and I like it so there. I have no plans to implement PostgreSQL support, but it wouldn't be too difficult at all to do. You'd just need to make a few minor modifications to the database class and a few of the functions; you'd only need to modify two files. The only hard part will be replicating MySQL 4's full text search capabilities.
Re: MySQL?
Now, there's a project I will save for a rainy day when I don't have to work on something else - should such a day ever occur...
Re: MySQL?
Eh, I think it'd take all of fifteen minutes.
Re: MySQL?
Perhaps, for someone as skilled at PHP as you. :o) Bear in mind that I'm still a total newbie in that respect...
Re: MySQL?
There would be very little PHP involved. All you'd need to do is edit
/lib/db.class.phpand change the five or so MySQL function calls to PostgreSQL calls (they're pretty much a one-to-one mapping, but prefixed withpg_instead ofmysql_). Then you'd need to browse through the database functions in/lib/functions.phpand just modify the SQL queries wherever necessary (which shouldn't be more than three or four places).Improvements?
The main improvement I would like to see here is to be able to edit a post and content. Is that a possibily? Thanks.
