How to create a list of latest (BC) blog post names on home page.

You will need to Object --> Insert HTML and add the tag:

{module_blogsitesummary,ID,numberfOfPosts}

Replace ID with the ID of your Blog and change numberOPosts to how many posts you want listed.

For more on the blog tags you can find info here:

Go to Modules -> Blogs, click on the Blog name and retrieve the Blog ID from the URL for eg. /Blogs_Details.aspx?BlogID=15286 where 15286 is the Blog ID.

Hi all,

I'm so glad I searched for this prior to creating a new topic - just the information I was looking for!
Only trouble is, I now have the author and date displayed alongside each post link; since there's only one author for this particular site I'm working on and the date doesn't really matter for the purposes of this homepage list, what do I need to add to the module tag in order to remove the author and date from the displayed list?

I don't see these kinds of variables listed in any of the BC tags quick references?

Would appreciate any response.

Cheers.

P.S - Sorry for bumping up a long-dead topic! Just felt appropriate to have this be part of it in case anyone else searches first and finds this but needs this same extra info!

That's the thing though - I want the author and/or date displaying on the post itself and in the main post list at /blog, however in the "mini" list displayed on the homepage (using Brad's module tag) I'd rather not have the author and/or date displayed (or at least would prefer to know a way to space them out a bit better)... Is this possible? ... I'd assume so?

In the module tag listed above in Brad's reply: {module_blogsitesummary,ID,numberfOfPosts}

is there not something I can append to that to say "hey, remove the author and/or date in this particular display"? For example: {module_blogsitesummary,ID,numberfOfPosts,NoAuthor,NoDate}

Is this possible? Anyone know what to add?

Can you provide a link or screenshots indicating what you are trying to do?

To be honest, if you really want full control over a blog and it's layouts you can use web Apps instead of the blog modules. Then you can create as many different layouts as you like. However, if I see what you are trying to do perhaps I can offer a better solution.
