Add a simple blog to your Kotti site
Project description
Blog addon for Kotti.
kotti_blog
This is an extension to the Kotti CMS that adds a simple blog system to your site.
Setting up kotti_blog
This Addon adds two new Content Types to your Kotti site. To set up the content types add kotti_blog.kotti_configure to the kotti.configurators setting in your ini file:
kotti.configurators = kotti_blog.kotti_configure
Now you can create a blog and add blog entries to your blog.
There are different settings to adjust the behavior of the blog.
You can select if the blog entries in the overview should be batched. If you set kotti_blog.blog_settings.use_batching to true (the default value) the blog entries will be shown on seperated pages. If you set it to false all blog entries are shown all together on one page:
kotti_blog.blog_settings.use_batching = false
If you use batching you can choose how many blog entries are shown on one page. The default value for kotti_blog.blog_settings.pagesize is 5:
kotti_blog.blog_settings.pagesize = 10
You can use auto batching where the next page of the blog entries is automatically loaded when scrolling down the overview page instead of showing links to switch the pages. The default for kotti_blog.blog_settings.use_auto_batching is true:
kotti_blog.blog_settings.use_auto_batching = false
With kotti_blog.blog_settings.link_headline_overview you can control wether the headline of a blog entry in the overview is linked to the blog entry or not. This setting defaults to true:
kotti_blog.blog_settings.link_headline_overview = false
Parts of kotti_blog can be overridden with the setting kotti_blog.asset_overrides. Have a look to the Kotti documentation about the asset_overrides setting, which is the same as in kotti_blog.
