Settings

BLOG_ENTRIES_FEED_TITLE

The title for use with feeds.

BLOG_ENTRIES_BODY_WIDGET

Optional. Can be used to specify a Widget for the Body field in the Admin interface. django-rte-widgets provides some widgets which can be used here. For example:

BLOG_ENTRIES_BODY_WIDGET = ('rte_widgets.yui.YuiTextarea', {'config': {'height': '400px', 'width': '700px', 'format': 'xhtml'}})

The setting must be a tuple of two elements, where the first is a resolved to a callable using django's get_callable and the second is a dict which will be passed to the callable as keyword arguments. This works with standard Widget classes.

BLOG_ENTRIES_EXCERPT_WIDGET

Optional. Can be used to specify a Widget for the Excerpt field in the Admin interface.

BLOG_ENTRIES_PAGINATE_BY

The number of items to show per page. Defaults to 15.

BLOG_ENTRIES_COMMENTS_MODERATE_AFTER

Optional. The number of days after which comments will be closed on an Entry. The default is None which means never.
