Tumbkit

=======

The development of this toolkit has been discontinued.

Tumbkit is a utility script to facilitate [Tumblr][t] theme development. 

Note that this is still a work in progress and at the moment not all

functionality is implemented. See the feature overview below for more

information.

Tumbkit offers a server which serves your custom Tumblr template (theme).

This allows you to develop the themes on your local machine. All you have

to do is to create a configuration file in JSON format that contains some

sample data and then you're ready to go (see the test/cfg.json file for

an example configuration file).

Installation

------------

Tumbkit is written in [Python][py] so you need to install Python first.

Tumbkit depends on [Bottle][b] (a fast and simple Python web framework):

    easy_install -U bottle

Download tumbkit.py to your project directory.

Usage

-----

To start the server execute the following command:

    python tumbkit.py [-t tpl] [-c cfg] [-p port]

    -t : path to the template file, defaults to ./tpl.html

    -c : path to the configuration file, defaults to ./cfg.json

    -p : port, defaults to 8080

Now go to [http://localhost:8080/](http://localhost:8080/) to see your template

in action.

Features

--------

* a mini-server for developing and testing Tumblr themes 

* changes to the configuration and template (theme) file are automatically

visible in your browser, no need to restart the server

* easy configuration in JSON format

This is still a work in progress. Let's see what we've got currently:

URL's:

* index pages ('/' and '/page/$pagenr')

* post (permalink) pages ('/posts/$postid/$perma')

* tag pages ('/tagged/$tag' and '/tagged/$tag/page/$pagenr')

* search pages ('/search/$query' and '/search/$query/page/$pagenr')

* day pages ('/day/$year/$month/$day')

* random page ('/random')

Theme:

* all basic variables (except PostSummary)

* text, link, chat and quote posts

* pagination

* variables for custom pages

* all date variables

* tags and notes on posts

* ...

Not yet:

* reblogged

* followings and likes

* photo, audio, video, answer posts

* group blogs and posts

Dependencies

------------

* the Python Standard library

* [bottle][b] framework
