TOPIC: Blogs with Community Builder?

Blogs with Community Builder? 1 year, 5 months ago #1

I'm trying to find a way to have blogs for each member who registers in community builder. I'd like a tab on their CB profile, and then their blog can be seen there.

I'm thinking this is something that Jseblod CCK can do, I'm just wondering if it's fairly intuitive to do, or if it requires some coding.

Thanks!

Yes it is - I have done it.

Create a category (or section) in joomla just for the blogs.

Then set up a new content type with jSeblod - with a specific action to post anything post with that content type to the blog category.

Give the form basic fields like:
title
Blog entry

There is a great community bulder plugin that allows you to create multiple tabs on a users profile that shows articles they have posted in specific categories. Install it - then call one of these tabs from the plugin 'my blog entries' or something like that. Set that tab to post articles that user has added to the category you created above for blogs.

You can also set up jcomments to allow other people to comment on the person's blog entries or not - by choosing that category as one people can comment on

Here is the communtiy builder plugin link:

extensions.joomla.org/extensions/extensi...uilder-authors/9849?

Hope this helps. Any other questions - please ask

Sounds perfect for my project however I seem to only find Seblod for Joomla 1.5 and I am using 1.7

what do you suggest or how soon is it available?

Thanks

Here some more suggestions on blogs/walls on CB. You can achieve this function with:

- CB Blogs (works with J! categories, K2, extendable with other content models. see CB Incubator projects...)

- CB Articles (works with J! categories, K2, extendable with other content models. see CB Incubator projects...)

- CB ProfileBook (includes a wall-, blog- and guestbook styled tab. See CB Add-ons here... CB Profilebook Module can serve as an activity display.
Last Edit: 2 months, 3 weeks ago by pepperstreet. Reason: CB Blogs also supports K2 categories
