Global blog functioning

As you've noticed, Flatboard (since version 1.0.1) now integrates a blog.
To activate it, nothing more simple. You need to go into configuration once logged in as an administrator.

You will find there simply 2 options. One allows you to select the forum you would like to see as articles and this will automatically activate the blog, with a link in the sidebar.

The other one simply allows you to choose the number of characters that Flatboard will display as an introduction to your blog article, with a link to read the rest of the topic.

That's all for the configuration! To disable the blog, you just have to select "Disable the blog".

The number of items to display and exactly the same number of paginations in Flatboard configuration.

The first image found in the article will automatically be displayed as a snap image, you have nothing to do.
The other display information is:
- The author of the article (here we retrieve the pseudo right before the hash for more logic).
- Date of publication.
- The number of comments.
- The name of the category with a link to the forum selected in configuration.

This is still a minimalist blog, in the spirit of Flatboard, which nevertheless allows to share your articles with comments based on the answers of the forum for a much more dynamic communication. Last modified: Thursday 20th July 2017, 10:12:54 Administrator stickied the discussion.
