Blog - Adds a blog section to your community

askvortsov I believe that it still adds it for compatibility? If I'm running an older version and this no longer works then that's a pretty big oversight/problem as it prevents admins from targeting dark mode vs regular with their custom CSS.

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.

Have finally gotten around to installing with the fix (thx!), let me reiterate this is a wonderful extension. Couple things I noticed.

If I click on a blog post that is visible from the discussions page, I cannot use the flarum back button in the header navigation, I guess because of the redirect used to take you to the blog it will just redirect you back to the blog again. The only way to get back to the discussion page I could find was to use a header link (site logo), which may not be obvious for normal users.
If I select a primary tag for the blog tag, it gets removed from the tag list on the sidebar, and the tag page, so the only way I could figure out how to get to the blog page was to find a discussion matching the blog tags. A shortcut to the blog overview, or perhaps optionally leave the tags in the tag list to keep them discoverable would be nice.
note i did not notice the above behaviour for the secondary tags chosen, they were still visible from the tag list.
once a tag has been 'converted' to a blog type, I don't think there is any way to follow/lurk the tags, or blogs discussions. perhaps if you were following a discussion or tag before setting up the extension they would continue to work, else no way to setup (from what I could tell)

Kudos again, I am going to be enjoying this for some time!

I do not currently have my 2FA code for GitHub (on my other phone) so posting here to ensure that I don’t forget @JasperVriends -
when posting a comment on mobile (iPhone 12 pro, safari, iOS 14.2) the composer box is cut off

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

My night mode customizations. Of course, in its own theme.

tolgaaaltas thanks!

I like the plugin but I think Flarum’s default sticky bar is better than above.

[deleted] @JasperVriends where do you see this ? Have a look at one of mine here

[deleted]

[deleted] I mean, the sticky bar is empty. I want to place number of posts or title of the article there.

[deleted]

DursunCan Yes, I see it. Nothing some CSS can't fix though.

I clicked on the link to see this plugin in action. This blog plugin looks awesome and of course is super fast. So is this plugin compatible with beta 14.1? It looks like you got it working with the latest version, unless the forum wasn't updated yet.

[deleted]

ChadJessen not yet. My forum is still beta 13

ChadJessen

[deleted] Right on. Well this is an awesome extension to implement a blog into flarum. Being able to keep everything in one package and not having to implement wordpress or another blogging system is very cool.

[deleted]

ChadJessen Absolutely show stopping in my view. This extension has massive potential to replace WordPress completely.

ChadJessen

[deleted] I totally agree with you.

010101

[deleted] Yeah, this is the only extension that actually makes me consider reverting to beta 13. And, I’ll do that if it’s not updated within six months or so because I want to use this!
