Scott, the BlogEdit feature only works with certain versions of MoinMoin. The plugin interfaces have evolved a bit over time.

Downloaded BlogEdit and placed it in my /usr/share/moin/mywiki/data/plugin/action directory. It does not appear to be working, at least not for version 1.2.1 of MoinMoin.

A small action plugin for MoinMoin which adds a little bit of Wiki Markup to the begining of a page and drops you into the normal page editor so you can fill in the details. Should make things feel a bit more Blog like.
Once installed on a site, it should automatically show up in the list of actions at the bottom of each page. If you want to BlogEdit a page, just click BlogEdit. You'll probably be able to do it on this wiki soon.

It's installed now! See SteveHowellBlog, SandBoxBlog, RecentBlogsCode.
Very cool addition, guys! Thank you! --AdamFeuer
This code evolved a bit as MoinMoin went through some refactorings, but it seems to be working now (12/12/2002).
BrianDorsey - can you verify that the code below is what's being used on the Wiki?
Thanks, SteveHowell
This is what I put in my MoinMoin, version 1.0, wikis:
I refactored it using the @TIME@ and @USER@ markups.

This works with CVS current, but you should s/form/request/ since semantically this is a bug.

Above mentioned code won't work with the present version in CVS, because the interface of PageEditor changed. I made some changes and the Following code works for v1.1x. For now that is

Looks like this plugin had been mostly abandoned. I upgrade our Wiki from 1.2.x to 1.3.5 and broke BlogEdit. Since I couldn't find an upgraded version I took a shot and looks like this simple change (due to underlying APIs changing) works:
