NAME

Konstrukt::Plugin::blog::DBI - Konstrukt blogging DBI backend

SYNOPSIS

        #TODO

DESCRIPTION

Konstrukt blogging DBI Backend driver.

CONFIGURATION

Note that you have to create the tables blog_entry and blog_comment. You may turn on the install setting (see "CONFIGURATION" in Konstrukt::Handler) or use the KonstruktBackendInitialization.pl script to accomplish this task.

You may define the source of this backend:

        #backend
        blog/backend/DBI/source       dbi:mysql:database:host
        blog/backend/DBI/user         user
        blog/backend/DBI/pass         pass

If no database settings are set the defaults from "CONFIGURATION" in Konstrukt::DBI will be used.
