Blog plugin for pimcore

Features

Entries and categories build on pimcore data objects
RSS feed
Snippets with categories / calendar / feed links / latest entries
Comments provided by Commenting plugin integration
Tags provided by Tags Field V2 plugin integration

Setup

Just like other Pimcore plugins:

download plugin by composer or use Extension Manager
navigate to Extras -> Extensions in admin panel
enable & install plugin
reload admin interface

If everything went smoothly you will find Blog custom view just below Objects in right panel. Now you can add some entries/categories.

Create document named eg. Blog using defined document type:

NOTE: If you need Tag Field plugin integration install it first. Otherwise installer will skip tag field in blog entry class definition. Of course you can add tag field manualy later.

Snippets

Plugin provides some snippets that you can place anywhere on your site (eg. sidebar, mainpage):

latest entries (Blog/snippet/latest)
categories list (Blog/snippet/categories)
calendar (Blog/snippet/calendar)
links to rss/atom feed (Blog/snippet/feed)

Customization

You can add/modify/remove entry/category data fields using default pimcore Object Classes interface.

You can overwrite any of default view scripts by copying Blog/views/scripts/:controller/:action.php into website/views/scripts/blog/:controller/:action.php. Your custom view script will be used automatically instead of default one. This will allow you to update plugin without loosing your project markup.
