Siteblog features - Posted: November 30, 2006 - 11:46 AM Quote and reply
Hi,

I would like to see the following features for the siteblog module, mostly to give it more typical blog-style features:

Notification of new blog posts.
A box to show the last number of blog post headlines
RSS data for blog entries.

If some of these are already there, I'd love to know how to apply them.

Cheers,
Per

The siteblog app is more of a skeleton than a feature-rich blogging application.

However, the news app could fulfill most of these requirements with very little additional features other than the configuration options provided in the conf, and some judicious renaming.

There is an RSS feed for SiteBlog, it's at /index/siteblog-rss-action and it's linked to in the HTML head automatically via a meta rel=alternate tag, which works with RSS-aware browsers like Firefox, IE7, Safari, Opera, etc. :)

Notifications are a good feature suggestion. In the meantime you can use the free Feedburner or Feedblitz services for that, which work very well.

A latest posts box is also a good idea, and easy to add. I'll have to make note of these and add them to the next SiteBlog update. :)

Cheers,

Lux

Hi,

Thanks for the response :) I just read that the newest Sitellite update is ready, looking forward to check out the updated Siteblog module.

Thanks also for the feed recommendations, I've already ruled these out as we have our blog visible for logged in members only.

Oh, and thanks for a great product.
