Overall Blog Layout

Aug 13, 2012 4:06 PM

I'm starting to understand how all of the blog layouts work but have a few questions:

 

1. On my overall blog page I want to post the most recent five (truncated) blogs. I would like the pagination to show up on the bottom so the user can look back, but it doesn't appear. It's on the overall template but still doesn't show.
2. Like the pagination, recent posts, tags and archive also don't appear and like pagination they are clearly on the template.

 

These features do appear when you actually click on a post and go to the post page. I wonder if it's something to do with how I'm assigning the blog module to the page.

 

Any help would be appreciated.

    Do you have a link that you can post? Or screenshots of your code?

    Thanks for the reply.

     

    Here's the link to the opening blog page:

     

    http://mwnp.monroestar.com/neuropsychology-testing-blog

     

    You'll see that when you click on a blog link, the appropriate items appear in the rail. I would like those to show up on the main page. I would also like pagination on the main page.

     

    Here's my code for the blog page home:

     

    <div class="border-all" id="wrapper">

           

        //this is here because title from overall blog layout won't appear

        <h1>MWN Blog</h1>

       

        //may put a blog description here

       

        {module_blogsitepost,2}

     

    </div>

     

    Here's my code for the overall blog layout:

     

    <div id="wrapper">

        <div class="grid_12 blog">

            <h1>{tag_blogtitle}</h1>

        </div>

     

        <div class="clear"></div>

     

        <div class="grid_9 blog border-all">

            <div class="post-list">

                {tag_postlist}

                <div id="paginate">

                    <p class="page-nav">{tag_previouspage} {tag_pagination} {tag_nextpage}</p>

                </div>

           </div>

        </div>

     

        <div class="grid_3 blog border-all">

            <h2 class="subhead">Recent Posts</h2>

            {tag_blogrecentpost}

            <h2 class="subhead">Tags</h2>

            {tag_blogtaglist}

            <h2 class="subhead">Archive</h2>

            {tag_blogpostarchive}

            <br />

            //may add more items to the rail, team etc ...

        </div>

     

        <div class="clear"></div>

     

    </div><!-- END .blog-wrapper -->

    http://mwnp.monroestar.com/neuropsychology-testing-blog is only a page a blog listing is placed on, the listing itself is outputted by the blog's list layout.

     

    The Overall layout you have defined takes effect on http://mwnp.monroestar.com/_blog/MWN_Blog for example.

     

    Hope this helps,

    Mihai.

    I see. That was a bit confusing. I thought if I assigned the blog to a specific page then the overall list layout would appear on that page.

     

    Thanks for your help.
