Weblog provides a Blogging facility. The package provides a portlet (“WebLog Portlet”) to display and edit a blog. Each blogging entry has the structure of an CCM article: Title, lead, and body. A reader can create comments to each blogging entry.
Under evaluation.
Application is supported by the default internal theme, not by the APLAWS standard theme. Currently only English is available for public site and admin UI.
The application requires a portal to display the blog. So the site must at least use one portal page (e.g. the front page at root).
As an alternative the blog can be displayed on its own page, but can not be integrated into the navigation menue (Navigation application).
By default the blogging page shows a list of all blog entries by title and lead (abstract) and provides a “more” link the a details page which contains the complete text and all comments. This page enables the reader to add a comment.
Currently no information about permission management!
Before a blog can be used, an instance of WebLog must be created using one of the administration facilities. By default one instance is created at admin/blog, e.g. http://my.domain/ccm/admin/blog.
To display the blog on a portal page, an instance of WebLog portlet must be installed on a portal page. It's installation UI provides (besides the standard properties title and description) a drop-down list to select the list provider, “/admin/blog” in case of the default installation in the above example.
For each additional, separate blog it is necessary to install an additional WebLog instance. This may be done using the UI at ~/portal/admin/sitemap.jsp or the administration UI of portalserver's ~/ccm/administration portal page. It is good practice to install the WebLog UI beyond admin of eventually the default content section.
Guess: An instance may not installed as root application.
Additional instances of WebLog portlet have to be installed with (one of) the additionally installed WebLog application instance(s) selected as provider.
