I havetaken overa websiteand I'm thinkingaboutUmbracois suitable for usein place of theprtimitivaCMSused today.However, I havenever worked withUmbraco.
The home page ofexisting siteshowsthemost interestingnewsfromtheir blog. They canchoosefreelywhichblog poststo be displayedthere.Ifyouaccess any sub page on the site, the headingsfor theseselectedblog postsappearsina boxon the side, so thatno matterwhere you are onthe page, you canseethe most interestingnews.
You will have your blog posts as children to a node (maybe the frontpage) and you will then insert a macro in the page template that shows the blog posts whereever you wan't it. The macro will execute an XSLT og Razor script generating the HTML for show the posts.
There is some neat functioanlity in the following package (I would recommend installing it as part of any site) which lets you easily select which blogs posts you want featured - this obviously requires manual intervention but provides the flexibilty of controlling what appears where and avoids having to code additional parameters to determine what should be displayed.
Yip to echo what has been said above, its very easy to add a checkbox to a page/doc type which specifies to display this on your home page, i've done this several times. The XSLT or Razor you write can check for child nodes in your Blog that also have the "Display on Home page" checkbox ticked.
Display a subset of a blog
The home page of existing site shows the most interesting news from their blog. They can choose freely which blog posts to be displayed there. If you access any sub page on the site, the headings for these selected blog posts appears in a box on the side, so that no matter where you are on the page, you can see the most interesting news.
Can this be solved using Umbraco, and if so how?
No one who can answer my question?
Hi Magnus.
This is not a problem using Umbraco.
You will have your blog posts as children to a node (maybe the frontpage) and you will then insert a macro in the page template that shows the blog posts whereever you wan't it. The macro will execute an XSLT og Razor script generating the HTML for show the posts.
