Restricting the results 

Hi,

Is it possible to restrict which blogs are displayed. For example, a particular Blogger or the most recent blog of each blogger?

Thanks

Liz

Filtering is something that's on the table for the next version.  I like your idea of providing the most recent (or most recent N) posts of each blogger.  Do you have any other suggestions for filtering?

I like the idea of filtring.

Since there is noe categorization in the blog module in DNN, you could filter on the "parent blog" field.

Re: Restricting the results 

Great.

I am still getting to grips with Blogs in general, but I was thinking of having a Bloggers page. Listing each blogger, and displaying the most recent (or n) blogs. Or even simpler is just being able to show one Bloggers blogs, or a particular Child set of blogs.

Additionally I want to be able to assign keywords, or just use search. For example if someone is on my pregnancy page I can pick out a list of the 3 most recent blogs that mention the word Pregnancy (searching blog entry for match). When used in this way I would want to be able to supply multiple keywords

Ideally though, I would like to have a set of keywords that my Bloggers can use to tag their blog entries and this I would be able to hook into.

I basicaly want to direct people from other parts of my website to relevant blogs by providing teasers, I have just got to work out the best way to do that.

Liz - we're already at work on some of this functionality.  You'll probably see it here from Radiant first, but our goal is to include as much of this into the DNN blog core as possible.

Re: Restricting the results 

Being able to filter the blogs, based on the child blog name would be great..  It seem strange that the DNN Blog module allows for child blogs but you cant restrict the view based on the child portal.

I know the view can choose the child portal to view but I want to default the view to a blog of my chioce and where it can be contextual to the page its on.

 

regards

Rip, I just tested the Blog display module for my site and it works great. But this ability to filter was the first thing i noticed it needed before I could roll it out to my entire site (as I have 8 different blogs, and none of them are 'child blogs'). Hope to see it a future release of BlogDisplay if not the core itself
