Blog

Simple blog facility, with approvable comment facility

Please see TODO file for planned work.

Usage

grab with: script/extension install git://github.com/paulcc/spree-blog.git

Administrator writes a blog entry in Html via admin interface

S/he can embed product details by including skus in *...*, eg "*00120*" These expanded inline into link to product and a corresponding small image is added after the blog text.

/the-blog/ (or blog_entries_path) then shows the entries in decreasing date order

Users can read the comments attached to an entry, and logged-in users can submit plain text comments with an optional page link.

Only admin-approved comments are shown. Administrators can approve and/or edit comments.

In addition to the usual new/create/index actions, there's a partial "_blog_snippet" for showing the most recent N blog entry titles.

Implementation

I might rename "blog_entry" to just "blog" - unless there's a proper word for an entry in a blog! Suggestions on a postcard...
