Main Blog Module

Templating

• The new Blog module uses a templating mechanism based on token replace that should allow you to completely redesign the HTML that is emitted. As this includes the ability to deliver javascript and CSS files along with it, the possibilities should be virtually endless. The new templating mechanism addresses two important sought after features that token replace does not have: conditional rendering and repetition. Over the past years I've refined this mechanism and used it in various modules. My hope is that you’ll embrace its power and begin to craft new templates that make the blog module look exactly like you want. The default template borrows from various examples left and right to give the module a modern look. I’m aware it will not fit everyone’s bill, but that is impossible in any case.

Multilingual Features

• In my research for this I spoke with various experts in not only DNN localization, but also bloggers in multilingual situations (specifically academics that would write in either their mother tongue or in English). The new module is what I call a “hybrid localizable” module. That is: it can be used in different ways in a multilingual site. On the one hand it can be used “classically” as a monolingual module where you’d have different module instances each for a different portal language. Alternatively you can use it as a fully multilingual module where each blog post has its own translation and you display the same module for each language, its contents adapting to the selected language. I hope this will not only address the needs of all international settings, but it will set this module (with DNN) apart from the competition and give it its own niche in blogging products out there. As far as I know there is nothing comparable out there.

Blogs as Containers

• The old module forced blogging through one’s own blog in the module. If you wanted to write under a different “heading” you could create a child blog. In version 4 I tried to coerce users to categories, but I know this didn’t cover all scenarios. Frankly, we needed to look at the blogging scenarios again. For instance, on the DNN site we had mostly personal blogs. Everything was published as though you had your own blog there. Fair enough. Cathal Connelly, our security expert, had leveraged the child blog feature by creating a child blog for security. Oddly, it would sit as a subheading to his own personal blog. And it wasn’t shared with, for instance, Brandon Haynes, the other security guru on the list. It was clear that some were trying to fit a square peg in a round hole. But I didn’t want to sacrifice the “multiple blogs per module” either as this would really break many existing scenarios.

• Instead blogs are now really just that, blogs. They are themes under which you add posts. Each blog has settings specific to that blog including a whole bunch of security settings. Who can add/edit posts, etc. This opens up the possibility to many more blogging scenarios. There’s a new module permission “Create Blog” meaning “those that can create blogs” in the module. Posting to the blog is set at blog level, not module level.
