Append to a Blog Posts List

I've noticed various ways to bulk-append to a List in SharePoint 2010 - some seemingly better than others - using Excel and Access. Do y'all suppose it's possible to bulk-append to a SharePoint Blog "Posts" list? There appear to be
some read-only columns that might make this difficult.

Hi ,
According to your description, my understanding is that you need to import bulk
blogs into SharePoint blog site’s posts library .
For your issue, here is a blog import tool which is available for SharePoint 2010

For more information, you can have a look at the blog:

Blog Post List layout - images missing

My developer is saying that it is not possible to include post images in the blog post list layout.
Can you confirm if this is correct?
Here is my current blog post list layout http://www.onlineiq.biz/_blog/onlineiq_blog
and images only display when clicking on Post Detail view.
I know this can be acheived with web apps, but just needed to confirm that he is not missing something or that there is a trick we need to be aware of.
thanks
Ursh

Just add an image into the paragraph of text.
http://www.fueldesign.co.nz/_blog/Fuel_Design_Blog
I think what your developer is doing is using the tag for the layout to show a number of characters rather then the one to show the first paragraph. The latter will allow you to have html such as images but you need to ensure your first paragraph is short and sweet - and intro and the css styles for the image work.
But as you can see, it is defiantly possible.

Having some issues tweaking the Blog Post List Layout to output to adobe Muse

Please see my question progression here from Muse side:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/5109260
So basically, I have watched the videos on BC Gurus and have posed the question on modifying the blog module in muse to get output I want. when I use module {module_blogsitepost} it does not show all the information I want, but when I click a url to a blog post, it jumps to another page that shows the "BLOG TITLE", "BLOG DESCRIPTION", "RECENT POST", TAGS, and "ARCHIVE" which I think would be helpful on the main {module_blogsitepost} module.
So, i took the tags from the "OVERALL BLOG LIST MODULE" which does have that information and pasted into the module {module_blogsitepost} which in BC under modules is Blog Post List Layout. However the output just turns to the image below:
I really do not know what I am doing wrong, if anything at all. Is this a limit of the cooperation between adobe MUSE and BC? Should not make a difference if I am copying all the HTML and passing it into the HTML view of the Module I want. Why is there not a bracket { } module for "OVERALL BLOG LIST MODULE" on the http://kb.worldsecuresystems.com/134/bc_1345.html ?
It is strange that there are modules in BC that do not show code strings to generate the output shown on this list? Is it because this capability is limited? It is strange. Please jump over to my site ( http://furnitureassemblyservice.com/blog.html ) to see what I mean. BTW, I added the Tags Module to the site so that at least shows.
One other question.. And maybe this is a Muse question, I try to add text or objects to the side of the blog entry but they are pushed to the bottom? Not sure if I need to add this into an object with the Module and mark it up in html with a table to make that work? I ask because I am trying to monitize the blog and add banners to the side or top.
Thank you for the time.

The recommended practice is to call preventDefault on the dragStart event.

Inserting latest blog posts list in Adobe Muse

How can I insert a list of the latest blog posts when working from Adobe Muse? And is it possible to style the blog directly in Muse?
At the moment I have styled the blog in Dreamweaver and syncronized it with Business Catalyst, but I'm not going to update the pages in Dreamweaver, so I was hoping it is possible to use Adobe Muse for this purpose instead.
But the main thing is that I want my front page to display a list of the 3 latest blog post titles.

CMS features, including blogging, will not be part of the Muse 1.0 release. We intend to add CMS features to Muse in the future, that will work with Adobe's Business Catalyst platform. BC already has CMS features (see http://www.businesscatalyst.com/product-tour/overview for more info), but Muse isn't yet able to take advantage of them natively.
In the meantime, others have had success embedding blogs into their Muse sites. Take a look at the Jam Session Dani hosted for more info on this:
Embedding and Styling Blogs / Recorded Wednesday, February 22 (2nd from the bottom)

Blog Post List - same date posts under one date listing (javascript?)

Hello,
I have six blogs set up for a website. I have the blogs summaries appearing on the home page and in the individual blog index sections.
I would like all blog summaries (with the same date) to appear under one date entry and not repeat the same date for each item. Tech Support says this is possible with javascript (as is most things it seems), but I do not know javascript.
Please see example of Oct 15 on link below
Can anyone help me out with some code or other recommendation for this?
home page here - http://mortgageregscom.businesscatalyst.com/index.htm
Individual blog example here - http://mortgageregscom.businesscatalyst.com/CFPB
Thanks for your help!
Lisa

Just checking again to see if anyone has any ideas for my issue with blog post dates.
Thanks in advance for your help!

Can I change the word "permalink" in "Blog Post List Layout"

What I actually am trying to achieve is a "read more" button that I can style.
The only tag I found is the {tag_permalink}. I can put this in a div for styling.
But it results in a button with the word "Permalink" which is confusing.
Now I am looking for a way to make BC print "Read more" instead.
Or did I miss a tag?
I found {tag_blogpostbodypreview,Text} this I can change to {tag_blogpostbodypreview,Read more} but, can I put a div in there?
Or, do you have another suggestion to create a standard read more button (automatically...)

IconItemRenderer doesn't have a generic spark layout like other spark containers. Instead it manually sizes and positions its elements for best performance.
If you want to customize how these elements are positioned you will want to subclass IconItemRenderer and override the measure() and layoutContents() methods.

How to add a Facebook send button to blog post

I am not able to get the Facebook Send button to pull the blog post's unique url to share. It pulls the main blog url.
I added the Facebook plugin code to a content holder I created because I cannot find the container.html, so I decided to make my own Facebook module.
Then I pulled the module into my blog post list module. I want the share buttons to appear after each blog post.
What am I missing? What is the tag to pull the specific URL for the post to share it? Do I change the URL in the Facebook code: <div class="fb-share-button" data-href="https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/" data-layout="icon_link"></div> ?
I think this link pulls the button itself from Facebook?
When I call up my module in the blog list it looks like this:
<div id="SocialMediaShare">
{module_contentholder,3272408, url="{tag_blogposturl}"} 
</div>

thanks!

I don't have an answer for you, but I do have a question. You said the FB code works. What did you do? What did you put in your html page? I tried the FB code above and it gives me an ID error. Appreciate it if you can elaborate more. I just posted the ff in the forum "Customizing FB Share in Edge Animate"
Thank you!

Show first paragraph of blog post using liquid

The legacy tag {tag_blogpostbodypreview,Text} allows to have a preview of the blog post. There is no similar possibility in the new liquid markup except for the | truncate filter. But this thing is very dangerous, for if you insert code which tags are then truncated before being closed it can detroy the whole layout of a page. Take a table for
example or an a-tag truncated right in the middle. How can I have only my first paragraph or a short teaser being shown in a blog post list? Any help would be appreciated!
P.S. in the liquid markup there is a | truncatewords filter, but this one seems to not be included to BC liquid yet?
Dennis

That is a bad idea because it will remove any images and formatting that you will want to keep from your content.
Original tags will and do still work in your layouts. If you want the preview of the first paragraph just still use the tag
There are several liquid filters not working in BC, not sure if they will be implemented at the moment. BC have been on the quite front as they have been doing the migration.

Template breaks when viewing Blog Post Details Layout

I've made a new ECommerce site with my own template (HTML en CSS). On the Blog Post List is my new template. But when I click on the title or permalink, Then my template breaks and all I see is the text from my template and the blog post detail. What can I do?
Regards,
A.H. Bakker

Yes, just as I suspected. A lot of your CSS, JS and IMAGE assets are referenced incorrectly in your page template or page.
Right now, in your page template you are referecing IMG elements with a "relative URL":
<img src="images/myimage.jpg"/>
That will work fine on the homepage and first-level pages like "/" and "/blog" because the browser will attempt to load:
http://yoursite.com/images.myimage.jpg
But, if like on your blog detail pages which are located deeper in the websites folder structure "/blog/nog-maar-eentje" since this URL places you on the "nag-maareetje" page inside the "blog" folder, your relative URL will lead the browser to try and load
http://yoursite.com/blog/myimage.jpg
That is not the correct location for our images folder which is directory in the site's root folder. To avoid this issue, you need to update your references to all images that's SRC attribute start with "images/" and change it to a "site relative URL" simply by prepending a "/" at the beginnging of the SRC attribute:
<img src="/images/myimage.jpg"/>
You'lll need to replicate this process for your CSS and Javascript references too. CSS references will look like:
<link href="css/style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
Becomes:
<link href="/css/style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
And javascript:
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/lib.js"></script>
Becomes
<script type="text/javascript" src="/js/lib.js"></script>
Anywhere that a reference to a javascript, stylesheet or image starts without a slash, "/" and just begins with the folder or asset ("images/...", "myimage.jpg") are relative URLs. You'll also see URLs that are absolute and those are URLs in your code that start with "http://yoursite.com" or "http://yoursite.businesscatalyst.com". Those you don't have to worry about since they are absolute and won't get mucked up when you are trying to load those from page within your site.
After you edit your page templates you might need to fix the same problem in your pages that are in a subfolder of your site.

Blog Post Layout issue

I am creating a blog for a new website. I am currently using the default layouts. When I add a post as a test it shows up perfectly when I use the preview mode. When I check it via the website the blog post list is fine but when you open the blog post page it just the text etc with no CSS. What would be causing this? Is this something I have inadvertently done or is a system issue. I have not had this problem before with BC Blogs. As far as I can see the relevant CSS links etc are on the page.
Any suggestions??
Thanks
Cordie78

Hi Cordie,

Limiting Body size post list in SharePoint 2013 blog site

Hi,
I want to fix the length of the body content in the post list in blog site in SharePoint 2013.
And also i want to set the limit to show number of blog in the home page.
Please help.
Thank you!

Open page in SharePoint Designer.
When the default.aspx page is opened we can see that the web part is actually a XlstListViewWebPart. Taking a look at the XML Definition we can see that there is a field called RowLimit:

Unable to set EnableAttachments property to true on Posts list in Blog web.

Hello!
In my dev environment I've implemented blog site (using the Blog Template) as a sub web of Team Site. Using this approach
I was able to manage and display blog post attachments. But when I'm trying to do the same things on production, the approach doesn't work (error in new/edit form's javascript: object expected). During investigation with SharePoint Manager I found out that
in my dev env EnableAttachments property in the Posts list is set to true (by default), but in the production it is set to false. The trouble is that I'm not able to change the value to true even via object model. I'm using Search Server Express edition.
Thanks in advance

Check this
http://garnetsgems.blogspot.in/2010/02/displaying-attachments-to-sharepoint.html
Thank you for the post! But unfortunately it seems to be not helpful. The post says how to display the Attachments field in data view. I've already implemented that. My trouble is that there is no Attachments field in the list. If I open Posts list as regular
list view and select an item via checkbox, the Attach File ribbon button is grayed. Looks like the attachments functionality is not available at all in the list. I've checked the EnableAttachments property of the list and it is false. I've tried to change
it via power shell and c# but no luck:
SPList list = web.Lists["Posts"];
list.EnableAttachmens = true;
list.Update();
The above code doesn't work. Changes are ignored.

Edit the Posts list view web part in a Blog site

Hi,
We found the great post vow to add a custom property (for example sub title) to blog posts view using jslink.
http://blogs.technet.com/b/sharepointdevelopersupport/archive/2013/04/09/how-to-add-a-custom-field-to-blog-posts-in-sharepoint-2013.aspx
It works in the Home page of the blog, but we want the property to be displayed in any post view.
In order to display a column it has to be checked to be displayed at the view settings in the web part, but in the page posts.aspx there is no option to "Edit the current View".
Any ideas?
thanks a lot

How do I link to a .pdf file in a blog post?

I have a created a new blog post and want to link to a .pdf file. I have the file loaded to the file manager but when I click on the link icon in the editor the only files that show up are web pages.
Is there a way to link to a file other than setting up the link other than writing the HTML by hand?

I totally agree with you on the confusion of that form for the literature module. Even after I have used it a lot I still find myself trying to upload the file at the same time. As you say - it only makes sense. But you'll get used to it. ;-)
As far as the module way of doing it instead of coding it in, there is so much more flexibility this way. In your example you have one document which isn't bad ... but what if you had to list 100 documents in your page that are located in several different locations on the server? Now it's a simple task of adding one tag and your done.
Other advantages:
1: Your documents can be found in the site search
2: Recods and displays file type and size to the viewer so they can choose to download it or not.
There is more but after years of the individual code way, I so love this Literature Module and the flexibility it gives.

How to change the blog posts view when navigating through categories?

Hello, currently I've been struggling for a while with the following problem:
In my SharePoint blog site I have the following default view of posts:
http://s16.postimg.org/yvmu0j51x/Default_site.jpg
When I click on a category, I get the following view of posts:
http://s29.postimg.org/58lm8p993/Category_site.jpg
Is there any possibility to get the same way of showing post as how it looks on the default site? So with Image, with body etc. But then only filtered based on category.
Any help would be highly appreciated!
Regards,
Danny

Hi Danny,
No, my result is like:
You can do as the followings:
Edit the page
Insert the Categories list into the page
Insert the Posts list into the page
Edit the Posts web part, and switch the current view to Summary view, click OK
Click Connections->Get Filter Values from->Categories, like the screenshot below:
Provide Field Name:Title, Consumer Field Name: Category
Click Finish
Then you can filter posts based on a category by clicking Select in the first screenshot.
I hope this helps.
Thanks,
Wendy
