Blog page

Hello,

I'd like to show all CB Blog items on one page. There is a component (menu plugin) CB Blogs, but I don't get it to do anything useful. It just shows whatever articles ID I enter into the ID field. I could not find any documentation on it.
Can you please point me at some info, of explain here how to do this?

Thank you!

Meanwhile I solved it with Joomla articles. But while I'm here: How do I get images into blog posts? I mean, not inside the text, but standard article intro/fulltext images.

EDIT:
I believe, the code should go in here: .\components\com_comprofiler\plugin\user\plug_cbblogs\templates\default\blog_edit.php
... but I wouldn't know how to do that correctly.

There's no page to display all CB Blog entries when using Internal modal. You have to use K2 or Joomla usages for that as they've views for those.

Just add an image directly to the blog. Your WYSIWYG editor should have a button for that. If you mean the image field that Joomla provides it doesn't have one. Adding the input to the edit HTML won't store it as you'd need to add code to handle its storage as well. CB Blogs is a simplified blog usage of title, category, and blog entry; if you need all of Joomlas article features just use Joomla article submit page.

Thanks. Yes, I need the image fields. Otherwise I have little control of how the images are displayed.

I've seen the code in your template file for the other fields and hoped there could be something simple as that for images, too.

I do use a simplified Joomla article submit page for other articles and could adjust that for the CB Blog. I just don't know yet how to integrate it into a tab on the profile pages. Maybe you could point me at documentation for that, if it exists, or give me a hint of how to approach it?

You'd only need to replace where the create button sends users. That can be done in the below template file.

components/com_comprofiler/plugin/user/plug_cbblogs/templates/default/tab.php

Lines 67 - 71 output the create button. You'd just need to change the URL to point to your create article page. I recommend making a copy of the default template then deleting everything in the copy except tab.php and index.html. Next in CB Blogs parameters select your folder as the template. This will prevent your changes from being lost on every CB update.
