Blog layout in BC

the blog tags in BC are on top of the posts and only partly listed. The tags need to go to the right and all should be listed. What is wrong perhaps under module templates?

Matt,
The blog I am referring to is: www.centennialcoloradocounselor.com It seems that when i connect the blog to the "latest from Patricia" the page can't be found. When I link it to the blog page—blog.html I get the set up wrong. On the first page it shows the posts with the tags on top and not complete. When one clicks on the tags it takes you to the whole set up but it isn't on the blog page. I need it to show up on the blog page with the complete set up (overall layout).
I would appreciate some help!!
Thanks, Elvi

Multiple Blog Layouts

Is it possible to have multiple overall blog layouts? I have created two blogs for my site but want slightly differnt layouts.

I guess word from higher up is that all blogs share the same template. Once Liquid is integrated it will be supported but not yet. Sorry.
(But I still can't see why it can't be done)

Blog layouts not displaying

Good day to all and thank you for your time,
We are unable to get the blog layouts rendering accordingly, it seems to be a conflict with BC css and our own CSS.
Nevertheless, was hoping if anyone might have ideas in into helping us resolve this issue?

I've also looked at other blog post but no resolution found, thank you for all your help.

Hi there, if you view the console you can see lots of errors trying to load files and not able to.
If you look at the path of these you can see it is looking for your functions.js for example here:
http://www.unilevelstudios.com/web-design-and-development/js/functions.js
The reason is you have your files like this:
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/functions.js"></script>
Every script call and css and image ALWAYS needs to start with a forward slash ( / ) which means - Read from the root. Your issue is not the same as in that other thread.

Adding Archive list to blog layout

Hi
Any idea how to add an Archive list to the blog layout to show all recent blogs by date?
A good example is the BC blog page (the archive list on the bottom right).
http://www.businesscatalyst.com/bc-blog
Thanks
Micha

Hi Micha,
You can use {tag_blogpostarchive,number of months,number of posts within month}.
To display recent posts, please refer to the following thread

How would I create a mobile blog layout, by combining Business Catalyst's Modules and Adobe Muse's mobile design function?

The title says it all. I absolutely love Adobe Muse's ability to design mobile and tablet layouts and have grown very fond of the workflow between Business Catalyst and Adobe Muse. The only issue I have found is the ability to incorporate the blog module to a mobile design or tablet design. I understand that Business Catalyst has you insert a tag code to create a page template for the blog to sit in but is there any way to have a mobile and tablet layout for the same blog? I would love if visitors reading my blog from their phone, didn't have to switch from a phone layout to a desktop layout just to read the blog. Once they read/ switch the blog, they can no longer navigate back to the mobile website version because of the page template I have assigned to the blog. All in all, I just want the ability to have the blog fit all mobile, tablet, and desktop versions. Any ideas?

Hey Brad,
That answer really helped and I am making progress! Now for some reason when I pull up the blog on my mobile, it says 'Error: Some files are missing or can not be loaded. Please clear cache and reload the page.' Any ideas why this might be happening? I haven't used the {system_visitorDeviceClass} that you mentioned.
Maybe the method I used to create mobile layouts was wrong but what I did was create mobile and tablet layouts with the {tag_pagecontent} on each. Once published, I copied the html code for the phone template (as it did not automatically recognize the mobile and tablet page template were part of the same desktop layout) and pasted it to my template I had already assigned as a default. I then did the same for my tablet layout. What am I missing here : /
Thank you for all the help so far! I am making progress!

Custom Blog Layout - What appoach is best?

Goodmorning all,
I want to customise the layout of a blog site. I want to change:
1. the home page of it: the way the short overview of articles is shown. I want to add social buttons to every blog item, add a picture to the left, ... and such more.
2. when the user clicks on the article and gets the full view, I also want to display more or less the same extra's as mentioned above.
How do I start doing this? I know SP Designer and all the other basics, I can make custom masterpages, but regarding this topic: I have no clue where to start.
Thanks,
Fledermaus

Hi Herr, there's no easy answer for this- it requires you to be able to program code. If you don't know how, I suggest you search for a third party tool.

Blog layout wacked with blog comments

Hey, I was wondering if anyone has experienced this same problem, or know a fix to it.
When comments were added to my blog page, the actual page background started shifting.
Here is what I mean...
http://web.me.com/brettmct/brett/Blog/Entries/2009/12/16MUSIC_-_LiquidIntensions.html
(pardon the song!)
Any help would be great.
Thanks

it's the gradient background, see my explanation here:

so don't use gradient background.

Multiple blogs - with different layouts?

Hello All.
I am stuck, I would like to run several blogs on my site as I think this is a really efficient way of managing content, especially for my client too. But must all the blogs share the same layout? I am happy customising the Blog Layout templates, but I would like to change the order of some contents, an be able to control what is on offer in each of the side bars. Is there a way to add a custom layout?
Cheers
David

Thanks Liam. How would I go about giving the Overall Layout a dfifferent look for each blog? Do I need to make pages and pull the blogs through in content holders? I have been considering this option however once you have pulled the blog into a standard page (in a content holder) you loose the option of utilising blog tags (outside of the content holder) as you can only assign tags to thier intended layout/template. I cannot think of a work around?

How to post more than one photo on blog page

Can you post more than the top placeholder photo on a blog page? I'd like to post photos as they relate to the blog I'm writing but can only use the placeholder photo at the top of the entry page--is it possible to place more photos on the page or do you have to use a web layout and not a blog layout?
Thanks.

It is possible because I Do it on my blog. All you have to do is click he media button and get the photo you want, I then drag it to the desktop, and then drag it into my blog. For some reason iweb can get a little wonkey and makes it look like it can't be done, but it can. Good luck!

Is there a way of not displaying entries in the Blog based on today's date

Hi,
I'm using the Blog layout in iWeb for a calendar.
Somewhere in this discussion forum, I found how to sort the entries by increasing date (many thanks for that).
The question I have: Is there a way of not displaying entries in the Blog overview of which the date is in the past ?
Thanks

Hi Cyclosaurus,
the link you refer to (http://test.cyclosaurus.com/Site/Blog/Blog.html) seems to be broken. I can't see the script.
Can you sent me a script to automatically hide events from the past (based on today's system date) ?
please note that I use following script to reverse the summary (which i found in the discussion forum):
<script type='text/javascript'>
function reverseSummary() {
blogSummaryWidget = parent.document.getElementsByClassName('com-apple-iweb-widget-blogSummary flowDefining')[0].widget;
blogEntries = blogSummaryWidget.blogFeed.itemCount();
blogSummaryWidgetID = blogSummaryWidget.instanceID;
blogSummaryContentDiv = parent.document.getElementById(blogSummaryWidgetID + '-summary-content');
if (blogSummaryContentDiv.childNodes.length > 0) {
for (be=1; be<blogEntries; ++be) {
bi = (blogEntries - 1) - be;
blogSeparator = parent.document.getElementById(blogSummaryWidgetID + ('-separator-template$' + bi));
blogSummaryContentDiv.appendChild(blogSeparator);
blogEntry = parent.document.getElementById(blogSummaryWidgetID + ('-item$' + bi));
blogSummaryContentDiv.appendChild(blogEntry);
clearInterval(chkSummary);
chkSummary = setInterval('reverseSummary()', 1000);
</script>

How do I turn off comments on my blog pages?

I see that I can create a rule that requires comments to be approved before they are posted, however I want to turn them off completely. I don't want "Post a comment" on my blog pages.

Hi,
You can remove the comment feature completely within the blog layout.
Site manager -> module templates -> Blog Layout -> Blog Post Details
Kind regards,

How do i filter the blog by year and not just month? Please help A.S.A.P!

Hey Everyone!
Does anyone know any code so that i can filter by year in the blog feature in business catalyst? right now i can only do it by month.
Help fast would be greatly appreaciated!
Thanks!
James

Hi James,
Are you talking about filtering so it has blog posted filtered yearly?
If so I suggest creating tags for the "years" then assigning blog post accordingly.
Once completed it'll appear like this on the front-end within your overall blog layout.
Hope this helps!

Help with tweaking blog and webform built in Adobe Muse

Hi there.
A client of mine had a 3rd party do a re-design (in Adobe Muse) of their current site in BC. Managed to get most of the re-design all launched except for a couple of tweaks that have been giving me major headaches.
Firstly, is it possible to edit the site that was built in Muse directly from BC itself and not Muse? I don't have a Muse subscription.
If so, I need help with the following that I have tried to tweak myself, but just can't find out how. BTW I am not a developer but muddle my way around editing existing code etc etc.
1. On the contact us page, I need to add an additional field to the webform. A radio button question: "preferred contact method". Phone or email. I know how to add the field to the webform in BC. Apparently Muse forms don't support radio buttons? Anyway, I can't figure out how to edit the source on the contact page to include the fields that I add to the webform.
2. Some minor tweaks to the layout of the blog page. I need to make the horizontal and vertical lines meet up and not have a space. Also, the left column width needs to be decreased and the right column width increased. Basically I need the current live blog http://www.robertsonburns.com.au/blah-blog to look like the previously coded muse blog (which is not live) http://robertsonburns-test5.businesscatalyst.com/blah.html which it does, except for these two minor issues.
Would appreciate anyone's help and/or advice.
Thanks.

Hey there,
Yes you just go to the site either via... site.buisnesscatalyst.com/admin or livesite.com/admin
Once you do that you can login. It depends how it was built though. Properly a site will have content holders and templates and the pages just hold the content. A user can go to those pages, webapps, blogs (dependng on the plan and build of the site) can edit that content.
Muse is not the best in terms of handling that and making updates, I am aware the Team updated Muse to handle fetching updates etc though but there is a note of caution on that stil though.
1. What is the plan of the site? If it is just a CC site then there is no web form manager with that plan of BC. You will have to edit and update the form built in Muse.
If it is on a plan that supports web forms it also depends on how you built it. If in Muse you should be able to just update the form in Muse I think and it posts into the system to update. If not then you need to go into the admin and web form manager and edit the html to make changes. This depends though if the form was inserted as a module, if not you need to navigate to the template or page and update it there once you have added the new fields to the form under the web form itself.
2. Layouts are managed via SFTP under the folder Layouts or in the admin under Module Templates in the main menu and Blog layouts.

A weird thing happens to layout when inserting {tag_blogpostbodypreview, Read More}

I have used this tag often {tag_blogpostbodypreview, Read More}, but in a recent update to an older site replacing {tag_blogpostbody} with {tag_blogpostbodypreview, Read More} forces the "side-panel" DIV to slide under the Post List and not to the right, as if that tag has a clear:both or block styling.
I have made sure that nothing else cause this and find that by replacing those tag with each other on the Post List layout page breaks up the blog layout altogether
Here's the catch, it only happens on the "home page" of the Blog List, but not when viewing the Post Detail or when you go to page #2 on the Blog List view
See here Home Page
http://www.peptalks.me/pep-talks-blog
See here a Post Detail and Page 2 of the list
http://www.peptalks.me/pep-talks-blog/page/2/
http://www.peptalks.me/pep-talks-blog/familiar_foods_upgraded_is_gooooood
I can't for the life of it figure out why this is happening.
Any insight would be worth a cocktail on me.

#2 Cleaned up the repetive stylesheet.
#1 By Default and as with all my other Blogs that we have posted, the side-panel and post-list divs are inside the "wrapper clear" which is inside the "blog-container". They all work fine.
If I move the side-panel out of the "wrapper-clear", then the exact reverse happens. The home page of the blog is right, but then all subsequent pages have the side-panel forced below the blog-list and details.
This is what I have now
<div class="blog-container">
<div class="wrapper clear">
    <div class="post-list">
      <h1>{tag_blogtitle}</h1>

Blog ordering - iWeb 09

Here is another hope for iWeb 09. I often use Blogs to created automatic submenus within my site. It is great because it automatically creates the menu for me. The problem is the items are dated and ordered according to date. I need a more flexible way of creating submenus, it could be as simple as manually ordering the Blog menu items and not having the date show.
Would this be useful for others?

Please tell me how to set up the blog pages another way -- not by date. I like the blog layout, and use it for other subjects such as my book reviews, with each review a separate entry. I would like them to be ordered alphabetically by book title instead of by date posted. See my book reviews for example at:
http://www.carolynbleonard.com/CarolynBLeonard/BookReviews/BookReviews.html
Thanks in advance for any help.
