DotNetNuke® Project :: Blog Module

Weblog (aka "blog") is arguably one of the most popular categories of applications on the Internet today.  Naturally, this makes a Blog module a very important part of the DotNetNuke family of free BSD modules.  The DotNetNuke® Blog is actually a collection of related modules which comprise all the working parts of a Blog.  When you add the blog module to a page,  you actually add all of them (which you can choose to delete or move).  These presently include:

  • Menu: List of blog related actions that a user can take, based on permissions (e.g. changing settings, adding a post, etc).
  • Search: Utility for searching Blog content.
  • Roll: List of blogs on the site (or in some logical grouping)
  • Archive: Calendar indicating dates when blogs have been posted
  • Posts: Display of the lists and content of the blogs.

This blog module was contributed to DotNetNuke (and thus to you) by Hans-Peter Schelian, who based his work on a blog module originally developed by Matt Fraser for version 1.x.  Thanks to Matt for his initial vision, and to Hans-Peter for giving it continued life in version 2.x and 3.x.

Upcoming Blog Features Part 1: Social Bookmarks

Jun 12

Posted by: Antonio Chagoury

Hello Everyone,

We've been a little silent lately, but I assure you, a LOT has been going on.

First of all, we have been "recruiting" like crazy, and we have put together an awesome team that I am proud to be part of, more on this on another blog entry.

We have also been busy wrapping up development of the next version of the Blog module (3.4.1). I know I have said this before, but I mean it this time when I say that this will be last version of the current Blog module. We will be re-writing the entire thing from scratch as soon as this is released, but meanwhile we wanted to get some of the most pressing features included with this release.

This blog entry is the first one of a series of entries that I will be posting to talk about the new stuff that you will find in 3.4.1.

We finally added social bookmarks! To enable social bookmarks on your blogs, simply go to the "Module Options" screen and enable the social bookmarks. Once you have done this you will not the social bookmarks appear at the bottom of your blog entries (as show in the screen capture below).

There currently is no control over "which" bookmarks to display. We have left this admin feature out of this release but will be included in the new and improved version of the blog module.

The supported bookmarks sites are as follows:

  1. Del.icio.us
  2. Facebook (Share function)
  3. Digg
  4. Google
  5. Live
  6. Newsvine
  7. StumbleUpon
  8. Technorati
  9. Yahoo
  10. DotNetKick (For the geeks amongst us)

As usual, please let me know your thoughts and make sure to enter your suggestions for improving this feature at http://support.dotnetnuke.com

Re: Upcoming Blog Features Part 1: Social Bookmarks

So great feature! But I had noticed that the "http://www.cto20.com/" blog had inserted the feature, I am so interested in how to do it with the manually?

Re: Upcoming Blog Features Part 1: Social Bookmarks

Hi Antonio,

I think templating would be a good way of delegating the control of the layout to the implementor - I could then integrate it with my UserProfile module like I do with Ventrian's News Module.

Re: Upcoming Blog Features Part 1: Social Bookmarks

Thank you for the update. Can I ask if there is any progresss on SEO?

By AliCommerce on   6/12/2008 8:13 PM

Re: Upcoming Blog Features Part 1: Social Bookmarks

@AliCommerce: Yes, quite a bit has been done with SEO. Eoghan is preparing a summary of the changes and enhancements and will be posted in continuation to these series of announcements. Stay tuned!

Re: Upcoming Blog Features Part 1: Social Bookmarks

@rodneyjoyce: Ride on Rodney; that is exactly the sort of thing we are planning for v 4.0 :-)

Re: Upcoming Blog Features Part 1: Social Bookmarks

@sunwangji: If you cannot wait for the release, you know what you are doing and you expect not support then take a look at this: http://www.inspectorit.com/DesktopModules/Blog/ShareBadge/documentation/readme.html

Please note that I cannot provide any warranties, or support for this so please make sue you backup your files before modifying anything.

Enjoy.

Re: Upcoming Blog Features Part 1: Social Bookmarks

Okey, Thanks a lot. I will make a try to integration with the current blog.

Re: Upcoming Blog Features Part 1: Social Bookmarks

I will appreciate to get Social Bookmarks in DNN. But does implementation on modul level make really sense? Shouldn't this feature not be available as a control for every tab in the portal?

By hpeller on   6/13/2008 7:08 AM

Re: Upcoming Blog Features Part 1: Social Bookmarks

@hpeller: Yes, it makes sense to have this as part of the core DNN, and there are plans to integrate it at that level. While we work on getting something solid into DNN, we added it to the blog to satisfy the need.

Re: Upcoming Blog Features Part 1: Social Bookmarks

I cannot wait. I am like a little kid who cannot sleep the day before Christmas (or whatever other gift-giving holiday that you may celebrate).
