To the settings file we need to add the default templates for both blog types
BLOG = { "blog":"blog", "blogpost":"blog_post", "blogtag":"blog_tag"}
Then we just make a blog on the admin page.
On any page use {{blogs}} to get a list of available blogs, for example if your blog is called my first blog, to get a list of blog posts for that blog {{blogs.my_first_blog.get_posts}} will retrieve all the posts for the blog.
The blog extends a normal page, all a blog does is extend the functionality of a page.
We get a list of all the blogs available for the page. A single page can have multiple pages reference it. Most of the time it will be just one blog, but we'll be dynamic.
{% for blog in page.get_blogs %} <h2>{{blog.title}}</h2> <ul> {% for post in blog.get_posts %}{% with post.page.data as data %} <li> <a href="{{post.page.get_url}}">{{post.title}}</a> </li> {% endwith %}{% endfor %} </ul> {% endfor %}
Instead of getting all the blog posts we can also get the pinned posts. By using
blog.get_featuredinstead of
blog.get_postsBlog post page...
To make it simple we only add the request the blog post at the top of the page.
{% with page.get_blogpost as post %}... the page content ...{% endwith %}
To retrieve data from related blog page
{% with page.get_blogpost.get_related.0 as related %}{% with related.page.data as data %} <h3>{{related.title}}</h3> <img src="{{data.post_image.image_url_m}}" >{% endwith %}{% endwith %}
