Blog Application

Transforms the wiki into a bliki with the ability to add Blog posts and display them

How to use

The following code lets you display the blog element on any page (by default it is present on the http://<server>/xwiki/bin/view/Blog/ page of your XWiki). You can choose the category as well as the number of news item to display:

<h2 class="heading-1-1"> Blog 
<a href="$xwiki.getURL("Main.BlogRss", "view", "xpage=rdf")" style="">
<img src="$xwiki.getSkinFile("icons/black-rss-mini.png")"></a></h2>

#set($nbstart = $request.nbstart)

#set($category = "") -> sets the category to be displayed

#set($nbitems = "10") -> sets the number of news items you want to be displayed

#includeMacros("Blog.Macros")

It is also possible to customize the blog application for specific purposes, you will need some Velocity knowledge to do this, please check the Developer's Guide for more information.

You can add / change blog categories on the http://<server>/xwiki/bin/view/Blog/Categories page.

A panel is also available that lists all blog categories. You can find it on the http://<server>/xwiki/bin/view/Panels/BlogCategories page of your XWiki.
