SnipSnap

SnipSnap is a fast and easy wiki and weblog software written in Java and using open source software. It can be used as a content management system, but currently it suffers the lack of history/change management.

Bugs you may find can easily be fixed by yourself or you can play around and actually add or change functions by updating the java code (access snipsnap code). SnipSnap is great!

This site

The installation is patched by putting some class files to the classes directory of the applications-directory. Jetty uses that classes directory in the classpath, so the changes get loaded.

The SnipSnap version 1.0b2-uttoxeter is currently patched to

• corrected Month.class, which is corrected in version control, but was not with installable (the calsnip parameter was set incorrect, now allowing multiple weblogs)
• use authenticated smtp relay since my mailserver now forces this. source-changed-Mail
• render snips starting with '!' having 'comments on' (see Discussion) (since 0.3.2a) source-changed-commentsnip
• I also think, the provided png file for users is too cryptic and replaced it with a smiley (since 0.4a)
• Major changes to the page.css for adding logo-like elements to the top of the page.
• Usage of snipscale macro
• not a patch, but changing the robotdetect adding msnbot http://search.msn.com/msnbot.htm
• Usage of bookservices macro (in snipsnap-artive-0.5.jar) by Victor Volle
• Usage of TimeLine Macro (http://snipsnap.org/comments/ebel/TimeLine)
• I adjust snip.css to hide the labels box.
• Patch sniplinks rendering to avoid wrongly shortened snipname in see also area. source-changed-SnipLink.cutLength
• Patched AtoZListFormatter with ThoMo's change source-changed-AtoZListFormatter
• added html macro jar

Check Snipsnap

• With current Version 1.0b2 uttoxeter referrer snip content seems to be not used after restart. After update of referrer snip (or load of snip?), the content is used.
• After an upgrade, assure that SnipSnap still Working is guaranteed.
