Use of blog modules

These different elements below can be used in your blog template html code. The actual html code that is parsed to the browser can change dramatically based on the module.

Modules

To insert dynamic elements into your blog page, type the following modules into your html code. Some of the modules have attributes that can be passed to them. The attributes are separate by the | in the following form: * ''attribute'' = ''value'' | ''other_attribute'' = ''other_value'' ..... * example: [[blog_pane | show_subtitle = true | show_date = false | blurb_length = 100]]

== [[blog_pane]] == - dynamically displays the posts on all pages

  • Available attributes
    • blurb_length
      • possible values: integer > 0

set this equal to the number of words you wish to display on the front page of your blog for each post. The body of your post will be truncated at the Nth word and ”… read more” will be appended to the end of the post. Clicking on the 'read more' link will open the page to just that blog post displaying the entire body - nice option when title_download is enabled.

  • show_breadcrumbs
    • possible values: true | false (default)
    • set this to true to display a “home/category_name” link bar above the blog posts
  • show_date
    • possible values: true (default) | false
    • if set to false, the date is not shown for the post
  • title_download
    • possible values: true | false (default)
    • if set to true, clicking on the title of the post downloads the attached media file instead of opening the page to just that single post
    • Use with care if you combine text and media posts on the same blog - your text posts will be written to a broken media link
  • show_subtitle
    • possible values: true | false (default)
    • if set to true the subtitle for each post (if present) will be displayed under the title
  • show_explicit
    • possible values: true | false (default)
    • if set to true, will display the explicit material or clean banner next to each post
  • show_duration
    • possible values: true | false (default)
    • if set to true, and available, will display the duration of each media file associated with a post in the form hh:mm:ss
  • show_keywords
    • possible values: true | false (default)
    • if set to true, and available, will display the keywords or tags associated with each post. As of version 2.8, the tags do not currently link to anything :(
  • pod_icon
    • customize your pod_icon image- [[blog_pane|pod_icon=http://somewebsite.com/myicon.gif]] or [[blogpane|pod_icon=none]] to display no image. If you wanted to host your own image in your Libsyn account you could upload the image to your images folder via ftp and then link to it at http://libsyn.com/images/username/filename
