Hey everyone, I'm developing a blog module for Fuel. I'm trying to make it as portable and modular as possible: With that in mind, would you guys like to see a blog module with its own comment system, or implement a system like disqus like you see on this websites blog?

I've decided to scrap what I've worked on thus far and re-implement the blog module. The current implementation is causing more problems than its worth and I would like it to be infinitely more expandable... I am beginning re-development this week, features will include... - Polymorphic tagging and comments, so the tagging and commenting system can be re-used throughout different application components.
- Photoblog components.
- Tumblr style posting. Any other suggestions?

I'll probably start work on something similar soon, there's 1 topic on the top of my list: implement anti-spam measures.
You need at least solutions for captcha & filtering, if I end up writing these I'll release them as well but it'll be a couple of weeks. Also IP/user restriction for the amount of posts made within a short timespan - but that'll probably always be app specific. For the other two I'd envision libs like the Cache/Session libs in the core with a generic front class and drivers for implementations. The captcha should probably have one driver for native image generation and one for reCaptcha. The filtering class should have at least a driver for something like Akismet.

Well I'll be writing at least the base this week if you care to use what I come up with to start. Problem is I tried to avoid the orm package and have now changed my mind. I just ended up reimplementing orm functionality. We have a captcha solution finished in our fuel-google package if you care to see.

I also just finished up the beginnings of a fuel-textfilter package. The basic idea is to apply filters to any text input... Primarily the Response output string... Currently I have filters for censoring, automatically adding in acronym tags, astripping HTML tags, and transforming markdown to XHTML. If you care to use it... could be useful in a blog. As far as Akismet goes, couldn't be that hard to implement, perhaps I will whip something up during the development of the Blog and release that.

Yeah at last the previous message is now displayed in forum reply great. Anyway just for your info here is what I use for anti-spam. http://scrp.at/-- Spam bots don't work on this as it's never part of the html code. Phil.

I guess that's one way, but check out scrp.at's code, in git. In it a hidden field is used so stop spambots from registering.

I think in the first instance it should have it's own commenting system then at a later date you could extend it.
