Blog - Adds a blog section to your community

Benito 1)We cannot rename the /blog/ part of the url which does not look too good on some forums, better have 'news' for example.

You could use https://discuss.flarum.org/d/23872-custom-paths to modify this. It's a premium extension though.

GreXXL Thanks, I have noticed that this specific module had its last update in June 2023. If important issues like this are not fixed within the blog plugin, I may have to revert to WordPress. It means that the plugins are not being well maintained by whoever built them, as these are crucial issues.

Benito

pdragun Yes same here, the images do not fit well in the posts.

clarkwinkelmann the empty header with dropdown arrows happens when an extension shows the side navigation component on a page that isn't listed inside of the side navigation. There's no single solution to this, the extension developer needs to make some choices: the current page could be dynamically added to the side navigation just when showing the same page, so that it appears on mobile, optionally using CSS to hide it on desktop. An alternate title head element could be provided using the .App-titleControl class, but if the side navigation is used at the same time additional CSS is needed to hide the empty dropdown control. Unfortunately I can't link to any code, I've dealt with this before but only in private-source extensions.

@JasperVriends you can this fixed? This problem has been around for over 2 years 🙂

I don’t know if this is an issue or whether I’m doing something wrong, but I’ve created a tag called blog to use with this plugin but it appears for a user to choose to post in this category when I don’t want to allow this. Can it be hidden from users so they can’t post forum posts in it?

clarkwinkelmann

chrisc297 you can use the Flarum Permissions admin page to restrict which groups can post in a given tag ("Restrict by tag" in the top right)

clarkwinkelmann awesome! Thank you

Excelent extension!
I just would like to know if it is possible to change icon and text from the nav menu, or at least the text?

I have tried with Linguist but can't to.

Also, now my client is asking me if it's possible to edit the slug of blog. We really would like to use "faq" instead of "blog" because it's not a blog e we already have a blog. It would be like a blog system but we don't want to call it blog i this website.
Not blog but faq

A mixture of https://flarum.org/extension/kilowhat/flarum-ext-custom-paths
and
https://flarum.org/extension/fof/linguist
should do the trick

[Edit]
treyb I tried your solution and its woking perfectly. Thanks for your suggestion.

Hi.
I'm writing some long posts with lots o headings and I would like to ask if is there any way to use table of contents or at least insert anchor links in posts?
I have found an extension to add TOC but it does not work with blog extension.

Fait

highly disappointing that this no longer works in the extension manager and last update was a year ago.
im on shared hosting so access to composer is more complex so ima stick to WordPress.

Fait Can you define more precisely what does not work with the Extension Manager? I was able to install it without any problems. Furthermore, I have not experienced any problems using the extension at this time.

Is it possible to change the word blog to news somewhere? I was considering Flarum for a local news/forum.

ivangneiding

iceguru yes it is. Just scroll a little bit up and you will see treyb answering me this very question. Basically you will need extension Linguist for the words itself. If you need to also change url slug you will need a paid extension custom paths

If I'm on a blog on the page of all articles and I want to go back to the screen of all discussions through the left arrow, when I click the page just refreshes and nothing happens

Yeah if I'm thinking of the correct button you're meaning, I think that is what it's supposed to do aye. Ie: It doesn't seem to function like a typical "back" button but rather as a 'back to landing page' button.

Maybe you could perhaps consider creating a direct blog tags page link in the header navigation by using one of the custom links extensions.
