Screenshots

Easily manage and add new blog posts through a GridField.

Quickly add new tags and categories.

Usage

Because the blog is part of the SiteTree the usage is the same as any other page.

By default, blog posts are filtered out of the SiteTree to avoid clutter and instead put in a GridField inside of the blog. If you wish to display the blog posts within the site tree you can do so using Silverstripe config.

YAML

BlogPost:
  show_in_sitetree: true

PHP

<?php
Config::inst()->update("BlogPost", "show_in_sitetree", true);

Doing this will remove the GridField & result in a normal behaving SiteTree.

Theme

You can download a blog sub-theme of Silverstripe's default 'Simple' theme: https://github.com/micmania1/simple_blog
