Creative methods of implementing personal blog website with PHP and Typecho

With the rapid development of the Internet, personal blogs have become an important platform for more and more people to display their thoughts. When developing a personal blog website, it is a common and practical way to choose PHP as the back-end development language and combine it with Typecho as the framework of the blog website. This article will introduce how to use PHP and Typecho to implement creative methods for personal blog websites, and provide some code examples.

1. Build the Typecho environment

First, we need to download the source code of Typecho through the Typecho official website and extract it to the root directory of the web server. Then, access the domain name or IP address of the server and install it according to the installation interface provided by Typecho. After the installation is complete, we can enter the Typecho backend management page.

2. Set the blog theme

Typecho provides a wealth of themes for users to choose from, and can also be customized and developed according to personal needs. On the Typecho backend management page, click the "Console"->"Theme"->"Enable" button to enable the currently selected theme. If you need to customize the theme, you can click the "Console"->"Theme"->"New" button, and then develop according to the development documents provided by Typecho.

3. Manage blog articles

Typecho provides convenient article management functions. On the Typecho backend management page, click the "Write Article"->"Add Article" button to enter the article editing page. Here, we can enter title, text, tags, categories and other information, and set the corresponding format. When the article editing is completed, click the "Publish" button to publish the article to your personal blog website.

4. Add comment function

The comment function of a personal blog website is a very important communication tool. Typecho has a built-in comment plug-in and provides corresponding interfaces for developers to use. First, on the Typecho backend management page, click the "Console"->"Plug-in"->"Enable" button to enable the comment plug-in. Then, in the page template where the comment function needs to be added, insert the following code:

<?php $this->comments()->to($comments); ?>
 <?php while($comments->next()): ?>
    <div class="comment">
        <span class="comment-author"><?php $comments->author(); ?></span>
        <span class="comment-content"><?php $comments->content(); ?></span>
        <span class="comment-date"><?php $comments->date('Y-m-d H:i:s'); ?></span>
    </div>
 <?php endwhile; ?>
<?php $this->need('comments.php'); ?>

In this way, we can view the comments of each article on the personal blog website.

5. Add article classification and labeling functions

The article classification and labeling functions of personal blog websites help readers find articles of interest to them more easily. On the Typecho backend management page, click the "Console"->"Category/Tag"->"New Category/Tag" button to add new categories and tags. On the article editing page, we can select existing categories and tags, or create new categories and tags that we need.

6. Realize personal information display

On a personal blog website, there is usually an "About Me" page to display the blogger's personal information. In Typecho, we can achieve this function by customizing a single page. On the Typecho backend management page, click the "Single Page" -> "New Single Page" button, and then fill in the relevant personal information. Next, in the theme template, add the following code:

<?php $this->widget('Widget_Page_List')->to($pages); ?>
<?php while ($pages->next()): ?>
    <div class="about-me">
        <h2><?php $pages->title(); ?></h2>
        <p><?php $pages->content(); ?></p>
    </div>
<?php endwhile; ?>

In this way, we can display personal information on our personal blog website.

7. Implement reading statistics function

Statistical article reading is one of the important indicators to measure the influence of a blog. Typecho does not provide article reading statistics by default, but we can achieve this through custom plug-ins. First, on the Typecho backend management page, click the "Console"->"Plug-in"->"New" button to create a new plug-in. Next, in the main file of the plug-in, add the following code:

public static function parseContent($text, $widget, $lastResult)
{
    $cid = $widget->cid;
    if (!$widget instanceof Widget_Archive)
        return $text;
    if ($widget->is('single')) {
        $db = Typecho_Db::get();
        $views = $db->fetchRow($db->select()->from('table.contents')->where('cid = ?', $cid)->limit(1));
        $views = empty($views) ? 0 : intval($views['views']);
        $db->query($db->update('table.contents')->rows(array('views' => (int)$views + 1))->where('cid = ?', $cid));
    }
    return $text;
}

Then, in the page template that needs to display the reading volume, add the following code:

<?php echo viewsCounter($this->cid); ?>

In this way, we can The blog website counts the number of reads of each article.

To sum up, the creative method of implementing a personal blog website through PHP and Typecho is very flexible and practical. By building a Typecho environment, setting blog themes, managing blog posts, adding comment functions, adding article classification and tag functions, realizing personal information display, and realizing reading statistics functions, we can create a personal blog website of our own. The above is an introduction to the creative methods of implementing a personal blog website in this article. I hope it will be helpful to readers when developing a personal blog website.
