BlogHub - OctoberCMS Plugin

BlogHub enhances the RainLab.Blog plugin for OctoberCMS by introducing a variety of essential features that streamline blog management and improve user experience. From moderatable comments to advanced tagging and custom meta fields, BlogHub offers valuable tools for both content creators and developers. It also includes additional archives, basic statistics, and more to give you deeper insights into your blog's performance.

Although designed to integrate seamlessly with our custom OctoberCMS templates, BlogHub is fully compatible with any OctoberCMS setup. Explore the documentation for detailed information on its features and usage.

Features

This is a brief overview of what BlogHub offers. For full details, please refer to the docs.

  • Moderatable comments with features like likes, dislikes, favorites, AJAX support, ...
  • Customizable global and theme-specific post meta fields
  • Promotable blog tags with title, description, and color options
  • View and visitor counters for individual blog posts
  • Additional template components for creating author, date, and tag archives
  • Extended post model with numerous extra values and properties
  • Extended user model also enhanced with additional values and properties
  • Dashboard widgets for managing comments, posts, and viewing statistics

Important Notes

  1. Author Archive Pages: BlogHub allows for the creation of author archive pages. We recommend setting the "Author Slug" for each backend user to avoid exposing login names, which are used by default. You can also disable the use of login names with the [bloghubBase] component as described in the documentation.

  2. Blog Comments: For comment functionality, make sure the {% framework %} October-specific Twig tag is added to your template layouts if not already present. We're working on an AJAX-less or optional solution for a future update.

Requirements

As of Version 1.4.0, support for OctoberCMS v2 has been discontinued (though it may still work).

Required

Optional

The optional plugins listed above extend existing features or provide additional functionalities for the BlogHub plugin but are not mandatory. The only required extension is RainLab.Blog.
