request - Nodebb Blog plugin

lombisi

I think that would be great.

yariplus

There are several blog plugins already. What features are you looking for exactly?

lombisi

@yariplus I have not seen any blog plugin

HolyPhoenix

It depends on what you are looking for. There is a plugin to connect wordpress or ghost to NodeBB. https://community.nodebb.org/topic/810/nodebb-plugin-blog-comments-blog-commenting-engine-ghost-wordpress-widget/2

I have a feeling you mean something more like the IP Blog system, which adds user blogs to the forum.

You will have to be clear on what you are actually after. Blog plugin is not very descriptive.

@abhishekgupta This comment has nothing to do with this thread. If you have a thread for your question, wait responses there, don't go offtopic.

Is there any more blog plugins? Lets say you want to use nodebb and not Wordpress!

PitaJ

@Jenkler you can use the ghost blog system on NodeJS.

ghost blog

But I want a standalone system that does not depend on anything (Like Wordpress blog platform). I only want a blog feature in nodebb!

jarey

@Jenkler that should be a massive plugin or acore feature.

I was thinking on starting a similar plugin when i have some time. Something based on marking some threads as blog entries or news, and display them in homepage into a widget to simulate some sort of blog-like functionality.

The comment system and visualization would be the same as a forum, in fact it would only be a post but flagged as displayable in the widget, so all mantains the same, except the flag.

Is that similar to what you want?

Mikael Jenkler

Yeah that sounds like a good option.

If you flag a treads as a blog post then the replies could be comments or something like that
or have a category flag that makes post display as blog posts if they are in that category

jarey

@Jenkler yes both approaches could be managed in the plugin. So you could select certain category, or display posts flagged of mixed categories.

I will try to work on it when i have some time.

+1 for this idea...it would be great to have a blog feature within nodebb

Danny McWilliams

A chosen category as a blog with separate styling to differentiate it from a normal topic (perhaps with its own "header" image field) , and placing the author avatar and name elsewhere with the option to reverse "replies" in it so the newest comments comes first (or not).

That said, using Ghost with the comments plugin would give you all of that now, and it runs on NodeJS. But it would be a useful solution for many.

@yariplus yes!! The idea is very similar, could be a fork of that plugin easily, is it opensourced on github?

By the way, awesome work there!!

Thanks.

It's closed source for now. But I could make/help make an open-source one when I get some time.

@yariplus Great news, will keep up to date if that happens! . Thanks!

Same here, I also think that it's a good idea.
