Patch for pyblosxom entrycache plugin to make cache location configurable

The entrycache plugin for pyblosxom is really cool. I only wish I could configure the location of the file it uses to store its cached dates.

So here’s patch:

--- a/entrycache.py
+++ b/entrycache.py

 import os.path
 
+def _get_cache_filename(args):
+   request = args["request"]
+   config = request.getConfiguration()
+        if config.has_key('entrycache_cachefile'):
+                return config['entrycache_cachefile']
+        else:
+                return os.path.join(config['datadir'],'.entrycache')

 def cb_start(args):
    t = { }
    request = args["request"]
-   config = request.getConfiguration()
    data = request.getData()
-   if os.path.isfile(os.path.join(config['datadir'],'.entrycache')):
-       data['cachefile'] = os.path.join(config['datadir'],'.entrycache')
-       f = file(os.path.join(config['datadir'],'.entrycache'))
+   if os.path.isfile(_get_cache_filename(args)):
+       data['cachefile'] = _get_cache_filename(args)
+       f = file(_get_cache_filename(args))
        t = eval(f.read())
        f.close()
         data['cache'] = t
    request.addData(data)
 
    if not data.has_key('cachefile'):
-       f = file(os.path.join(config['datadir'],'.entrycache'),'w')
+       f = file(_get_cache_filename(args),'w')
        f.write("{ }")
        f.close()
-       data['cachefile'] = os.path.join(config['datadir'],'.entrycache')
+       data['cachefile'] = _get_cache_filename(args)
        request.addData(data)
 
 def cb_filestat(args):

Then add a line like this to your pyblosxom config:

py["entrycache_cachefile"] = \
    "/Users/mrowe/Sites/blog/data/.entrycache"
