Divan

Divan is a simple blogging platform that is included with Diva as an example application.

It uses ​CouchDB (via the ​CouchDB-Python library) for storage.

It supports comments with ​OpenID authentication, ​pingbacks, ​Atom feeds for the whole blog, individual categories, and comments, and the ​Atom publishing protocol. It does not provide a HTML-based interface for authoring entries, nor does it support the XML-RPC based MetaWeblog API.

Configuration Options

In addition to the core Diva options, Divan can be customized using the following options:

blog_author

Name of the author of the blog

blog_author_email

Email address of the blog author

blog_title

Name of the blog

db_uri

URI of the CouchDB database

media_dir

Path to a local directory where media resources (managable via AtomPub) are stored

CouchDB Views

All views are in Javascript.
