Enhanced Blog Module
A module to provide added functionality to the default SilverStripe Blog Module and bring it more in line with competing blogging platforms. **Please Note most of these features are now available in silver stripe/blog 2.0 ** I'll leave this module for anyone stuck using the older blog module
Requirements
- SilverStripe 3.1
- silverstripe-blog module 1.0
Feature Overview
- Custom Summaries for Blog Entries
- Feature Image for Blog Entries
- Enhanced Authors by Extending the Member Class ** Bio, Headshot and Social Media Profiles
- RSS feeds of Tags
Configuration Options
The module adds a has_many/has_one relation between BlogEntry and Member. The Author drop down on BlogEntry is pulled from the 'content-author' member group by default. If you only have Default Admin you'll need to make sure you add that user to the content-author group. You can use any other member group by setting defaultGroup on BlogEntry in your config.yml to the desired group code.
BlogEntry:
defaultGroup: 'content-authors'
Tag RSS Feed
The rss feed of any tag can be accessed via http://example.com/blogHolderTitle/tag/tagName/rss/
