100%, free extensions like these make flarum an even more attractive offering to users and in turn grow the community.

Sweet Mary Jason’s... this is amazing!

THIS IS A KILLA! Hope beta 14 support will be added soon.

Damn! So my flarum is basically used as a blog.

How does this work if I already have posts?

Can we make this the main view?

I've not tested yet, but according to main post you can set this view as your homepage, and it does work on original posts.

We are thrilled that you all like our plugin. We've now contributed two free plugins and we will keep maintaining those to keep the spirit alive. (And thank you Glowing Blue!)

@JasperVriends is this extension compatible with FoF/Gamification ?

I see the below in the console

Uncaught TypeError: n.ranks(...).reverse is not a function

Seems to also conflict with @clarkwinkelmann "Who Read" extension :-(

JasperVriends Works brilliantly. Thanks very much !

JasperVriends some things I've noticed. I'll raise GitHub issues for them, but wanted to outline them here for brevity purposes

having the ability to include the hero section on the blog page would be great. It looks odd when discussions are loaded that have a header, and the blog page doesn't.
there doesn't appear to be any div class applied to the avatar and bio section which makes customisation almost impossible as there is no div specific to target
no support for FoF/nightmode. Easily resolved with custom css, but...

I absolutely love this extension and it's groundbreaking in the sense that it takes flarum into a new dimension. I'm going to be using this extensively, so am happy to offer tips, suggestions, etc.

EDIT - GitHub issues raised

mekici

JasperVriends thank you for the quick update.

Suggestion: It would be much more functional if a certain number of featured articles are shown at the top of the all discussions page or on the left.

For anyone needing fixes for fof/nightmode the following LESS will fix the blog section.

/*
 * Blog Dark Mode Fixes
 */
.dark {
    .FlarumBlogItem .FlarumBlog-Article .FlarumBlog-Article-Container .FlarumBlog-Article-Post {
        background-color: #14191f;
    }
    .FlarumBlog-Article-Categories {
        background-color: #14191f;
    }
    .BlogItemPage {
        background-color: #14191f;
    }
    .FlarumBlogItem .FlarumBlog-Article .FlarumBlog-Article-Container .FlarumBlog-Article-Comments {
        background-color: #14191f;
        box-shadow: 1px 3px 9px 0px #000000;
    }
    .FlarumBlogItem .FlarumBlog-Article .FlarumBlog-Article-Author .FlarumBlog-Article-Author-Info {
         background: #14191f;
         box-shadow: 1px 3px 9px 0px #000000;
     }
     .BlogCategories {
         background: #14191f;
         box-shadow: 1px 3px 9px 0px #000000;
     }
     .FlarumBlogItem .FlarumBlog-Article .FlarumBlog-Article-Container .FlarumBlog-Article-Content {
         background: #14191f;
         box-shadow: 1px 3px 9px 0px #000000;
     }
     .App.BlogOverviewPage {
         background: #14191f;
     }
}

You can copy and past this direct into the Flarum appearance settings.

tankerkiller125 That won't work in the latest FoF/nightmode as the CSS / LESS is no longer constructed in that way.
