Pure Blog

I've installed Pure Blog

After trying the Blog Plugin in dokuwiki and Chyrp-Lite PHP/SQLite blogging platform I switched to Pure Blog.

It's just what I need, and nothing extra to make it big and bloated.

See https://g4slv.info/installing-pure-blog for some info.

Kev sent me 2 PHP scripts to provide a Tag-Cloud and a full site Archive page.

I tweaked them a bit, and here are my current versions.

tag-cloud.php

<?php
 
 
 
declare(strict_types=1);
 
 
 
$pageTitle = 'Tag Cloud';
 
$metaDescription = 'All tags, sized by how often they appear.';
 
 
 
$tagIndex = load_tag_index();
 
$tagCounts = [];
 
if ($tagIndex) {
 
    foreach ($tagIndex as $slug => $slugs) {
 
        $tagCounts[$slug] = count($slugs);
 
    }
 
}
 
 
 
// Collect original display names from posts (slugs alone lose capitalisation/spaces)
 
$originalNames = [];
 
foreach (get_all_posts(false) as $post) {
 
    foreach (($post['tags'] ?? []) as $tag) {
 
        $slug = normalize_tag($tag);
 
        if (!isset($originalNames[$slug])) {
 
            $originalNames[$slug] = $tag;
 
        }
 
    }
 
}
 
 
 
// Sort alphabetically by display name
 
uksort($tagCounts, function (string $a, string $b) use ($originalNames): int {
 
    return strcasecmp($originalNames[$a] ?? $a, $originalNames[$b] ?? $b);
 
});
 
 
 
$maxCount = $tagCounts ? max($tagCounts) : 1;
 
$minCount = $tagCounts ? min($tagCounts) : 1;
 
$range    = $maxCount > $minCount ? $maxCount - $minCount : 1;
 
 
 
require PUREBLOG_BASE_PATH . '/includes/header.php';
 
render_masthead_layout($config, ['page' => null]);
 
?>

                $ratio    = ($count - $minCount) / $range;
