[LN] Blog

[Onimua]

Onimua, late suggestion but hopefully its not too late

Is it possible to include the "Import RSS Feed" feature, so we can also import xml rss feeds same like XenForo does in the forums? I think it would be a useful addition as I (and maybe others too) have few blogs and I wanted to import data to LNBlog.

Thanks, keep up the good work.

Already on the TODO list.

you'll need to do a bunch of file edits, for example (but certainly not limited to) the XenForo_Link::buildPublicLink('blogs') as well as some template edits and changing the route prefix. Its not a simple 5 minute change and unless you know what you are doing, can be somewhat of a challenge.

You could probably override the function that builds the link by creating an add-on for the blog.

Is there/will there be an automatic blog directory feature for every member who has posted in the blog? Or is there/will there be another way to separate the blog into multiple instances?

You would need to overwrite the blog route (buildLink)
And also you would need to create a own route in the acp,so xenforo knows where to route the media requests

What do you mean by multiple instances?

And there will be a better directory for members as well.

 

[Zachary Seeley]

If there is a directory, then that works. I just want an easy way for members to browse through user blogs other than browsing through the posts individually.

Right now I'm setting up a manual directory page with user-created Summaries of their blog, for people to browse through... I might be missing something obvious though, but I'm having to manually create the links, such as .../blog/memberid.

Anyway, amazing addon, thank you so much. +Diamond(I've been on Minecraft forums for too long )

It's possibleto add users the ability to select order of comments (oldest first, then the new)?

There's a number of things I'd like to improve for the user interface in several areas. There really isn't a proper directory for users but that will be taken care of. There's just a lot of things I need to do and there's only one of me, for better or worse.

If you're trying to create a list of users and using the <xen:foreach> tag in the templates you could do something like this then for the template used for the loop:

<a href="{xen:link blog, $blogInfo}"></a>

I haven't even dealt with thinking about it yet.

Present order (newest first, then old) isn't comfortable.

You should use two user accounts for that, one for admin 2nd for personal.

Like Veer said, if you want to have two different blogs to separate yourself, you'd need a separate account.

I have solved my problem by creating a new user and changing the user id in the sql database for the existing blogentrys, because they are related to the wrong user

I have another suggestion
It would be nice to have the option to close a Blog and start a new one. My website is based on fitnesstraining and normaly there a different phases of training. If one is finished, its a better overall view when there a different blogs instead of one monster blog over years

Probably solved easier with the inclusion of categories.
