Installation
To enable this product in a buildout-based installation:
Edit your buildout.cfg and add sc.blog to the list of eggs to install:
[buildout] ... eggs = sc.blog
After updating the configuration you need to run ‘’bin/buildout’’, which will take care of updating your system.
Go to the ‘Site Setup’ page in a Plone site and click on the ‘Add-ons’ link.
Check the box next to sc.blog and click the ‘Activate’ button.
Usage
Just install the package and start adding Blogs and Posts.
A blog may have an associated image that is shown in a viewlet located below the breadcrumb.
TODO List
Not entirely unlike
- blog.star
A suite of blogging modules for Plone. It is primarily designed for integrators. Most people who use Plone for blogging also uses Plone as a customized content management system, and they have specific requirements and their own skin, custom content types and other integrations. It turned out that other Plone blogging products make a lot of assumption about how you are to use it, what you want from a blog, and how your site is set up.
- ftw.blog
ftw.blog provides a blog implementation for Plone featuring tags and categories. A user can add a new blog entry and tag it using tags and categories. Available categories are defined by the creator of the blog, whilst tags can be added freely by the author of a blog entry. Blog entries are listed in chronological order, in a tag cloud, by categories, and in a monthly archive. Entries can be searched by using the search function of the blog.
- Scrawl
A dirt-simple blog product for Plone. It copies the News Item content type to create a Blog Entry (with a slightly tweaked view template) and adds an alternative view to Collections (blog_view). Note that blog_view shows either the description of each contained blog entry (if it exists) or the entire body. It’s up to the user to limit those results in an intelligent way so that page loads doesn’t take too long.
