danielunited Super interesting, I recommend you to create an issue on Github about this. Maybe @JasperVriends is aware of this as he is also the developer of Flarum SEO, but just in case, post it on Github!

If you have feature requests, create an issue on GitHub 😎

danielunited Nice! My suggestion, in terms of SEO, is to optimize the schema for an article. That would get the page to rank higher in Search Engines.

Thanks! I already did the SEO in the initial release of Blogs as you can see on the item controller https://github.com/v17development/flarum-blog/blob/master/src/Controller/BlogItemController.php#L49

Currently it's se to BlogPosting as type ( https://schema.org/BlogPosting ), but we could change this in the future. If you'd like to contribute, don't hesistate 😃

fakruzaruret I suggest trying the extension out on localhost or a subdomain 🙂

JasperVriends i updated the extension. works smoothly. Thank you so much.
Demo: https://flarumtr.com/blog

fakruzaruret

JasperVriends Thank you very much four new update. Yes I can test it but is not here any option to use another word instead of "blog"?

SKevo

Thanks for the night mode support, now it's just perfect! FYI this update will be available on FreeFlarum forums too after a while

askvortsov

fakruzaruret It's very rare for extensions to support custom paths; it's not a commonly needed feature. When necessary, stuff like this is better delegated to extensions like https://discuss.flarum.org/d/23872-custom-paths

PascalBoschma

fakruzaruret We know that @clarkwinkelmann is working on an update for his Custom Paths extension that will make this possible. This wil take some time though! (At least he's looking at the possibilities!)

[deleted] Would you be able to create a feature request here?

MikeJones Thank you very much for reporting those problems. Would you be able to make a new issue for them?

Feature request - the ability to schedule post blog articles. I suspect the Flarum scheduler can be leveraged for this in much the same way as fof/drafts does ?

nether494

@askvortsov thank you very much! 🙂 We can in the future choose a forum topic to export to the blog ???

Amarok

nether494 you can use any forum tags to use as blog categroies, and you can change them at any time

nether494

Amarok But there is no risk of adding topics that have the same tag? I would really like to select the topic

askvortsov

nether494 Sorry, I don't quite understand. Could you elaborate?

nether494

askvortsov For example, I want to be able to export a subject from my forum to the blog without having to play with the tags as said above 🙂

For example someone writes an interesting topic, I want to be able to export it to the blog in 1 click without making duplicates

askvortsov

nether494 I think I understand what you mean. Since Flarum's tags represent both traditional categories and traditional tags, you could make a secondary tag called blog, declare it as a "blog tag", and add discussions that should be published to the blog there. That way, it wouldn't interfere with categorization, but would still be very easy to manage.

nether494

@askvortsov It would also be interesting to be able to filter the articles of a tag

Imagine I make an "announcements" tag with a lot of subjects, it would be interesting to be able to hide unnecessary articles in the blog because I don't want to have them all. I may want to display 4 articles on 26 subjects with this tag

You understand ?

nether494

askvortsov Indeed you are right it is a solution

MikeJones

So I tried this extension out today and I am super impressed so far! But I have found a number of bugs/feature requests:

The first one is that my link I have in my bio pops out of the box:

The second issue is with a dark theme the title text is to hard to read here:

Next issue is that the manage article button covers up the tags section. Also the article title seems to match the headings in the article to this just looks odd to me here if you start an article with heading text:

Last suggestion is that tags can be collapsed by default. Right now if you have a lot of sub tags the list is super long:
