serendipity Documentation

Some Fossies usage hints in advance:

  1. To see the Doxygen generated documentation please click on one of the items in the steelblue colored "quick index" bar above or use the side panel at the left which displays a hierarchical tree-like index structure and is adjustable in width.
  2. If you want to search for something by keyword rather than browse for it you can use the client side search facility (using Javascript and DHTML) that provides live searching, i.e. the search results are presented and adapted as you type in the Search input field at the top right.
  3. Doxygen doesn't incorporate all member files but just a definable subset (basically the main project source code files that are written in a supported language). So to search and browse all member files you may visit the Fossies serendipity-2.4.0.zip contents page and use the Fossies standard member browsing features (also with source code highlighting and additionally with optional code folding).

Serendipity Example

Installation

On most hosters, everything needed to run Serendipity should already be installed. If you install it on your custom server, install PHP >= 7.0, MySQL/MariaDB, PostgreSQL or SQLite, and Apache. Imagemagick is also useful. Upload the files from a release archive to your webroot and visit your URL to start the installer.

For more details, please consult the manual.

Features

By default, Serendipity includes:

  1. An editor to write blog entries
  2. Support for trackbacks and pingbacks
  3. A media library to upload images, videos and other files and add them into entries
  4. Integrated anti-spam measures
  5. A collection of themes that can be selected in the backend
  6. A plugin management interface
  7. Categories that can be applied to written blog entries
  8. Groups and user management

Via plugins, additional functionality can easily be added. Some popular plugins add

  1. Support for static pages, transforming Serendipity in a small CMS
  2. Additional anti-spam features
  3. Tags, in addition to categories
  4. Markup languages like Markdown and Textile

Plugins can be added in the backend plugin interface without the need to manually upload files.
