Hi everyone… new Pulse user here, and I’m struggling with blogs in a Rapidweaver Foundry theme site.
I have a site under development which will have a blog page, using the MAIN blog root of Pulse… I haven’t configured the page in Rapidweaver for the main blog, but there are default blog posts already set up.
I have created a sub-blog, called news, and created 6 dummy blog posts…
I want to use the ‘news’ sub-blog on the front page, in a side bar, with just 2 or 3 of the latest news stories for the client, so I’m trying to use the Blog-List tag…
I’m having great trouble with the tags because there seems to be discrepancies in the usage…
eg:
{{blog-list:blog/news:title,author,date:3}}
{{blog-show:"news":"[[blog-content-loop(<<blog-item-author>> <<blog-item-date>> <<blog-item-featured-image>> <<blog-item-content>> <<blog-item-tag>>)]]"}}.
You’ll notice that blog-list uses the name “blog/news” for the blog - ie: the blog folder, followed by the sub-blog folder name… because it doesn’t work the same with blog-show tag, as that only requires the sub-blog folder name, not the root folder - this is on the same page!
In my blog-list tag, I’ve specified 3 recent posts, but they’re all being displayed, and even if I remove any of the title, author, or date tags, they’re still displayed… Is blog-list fully implemented yet?
If the page I’m displaying these on are in a subfolder “home” on the server, should I have
"RewriteBase /home"
in my .htaccess file? If I do, then I click on the blog title (when displaying a sub-blog), it refreshes the window, but loses the theme and just displays text and broken image placeholders…
But… if I leave it as
RewriteBase /
when displaying a sub-blog the page refreshes, still doesn’t display the actual blog post, but at least it still draws the theme backgrounds and navigation etc…
BUT - if I’m displaying the MAIN blog, leaving ReWrite Base / won’t display the blog post content when I click on the title of a main blog-post… it will only show the content IF I set change the ReWriteBase to /home
Any help really appreciated…
Thanks in advance,
J.
