Implement a blog functionality for Users

[kunal2812]

1. (/blog)

2. (/blog_single)

Currently the existing blog section in the website is static. Allow all users to create a blog ("Student"/"Mentor")
Enable registered users to create and publish educational blogs (similar to Codeforces)
Create a separate page accessible through the "Blog" section where all user-generated blogs are listed (Refer screenshot 1). Display blogs in a sorted order, with the most recent posts at the top.
When a user clicks on a blog entry in the list, it should open on a new page to display the full content of the blog post, including text and accompanying photos. Implement "Like" and "Dislike" buttons for each blog post, allowing users to express their opinion.
Include a comment section for each blog post, enabling users to engage in discussions and leave feedback.
(Will give bonus points for neat work)

A blog has an author, a heading, thumbnail, tags, description etc.
Please go through the existing static pages as mentioned in the screenshots to model the functionality.

Note:

• Create a new branch for every task to isolate changes
• Start working on the issue only when it is assigned to you
• Submit the PR on time, no extra time will be allotted
• Follow the existing theme of website
• Don't request for the issue if it has locked label on it (will be unlocked after dependencies are fixed)

Should only the authors of the blog be able to edit the blog? should mentors be also able to delete blogs if they find it innapropriate? Also should no of pictures be definite or can they add as many as they like? Should the all blogs page have a search based on tags?

[kunal2812]

1. Only authors can edit the blog.
2. No only the blog creator should be given delete access.
3. Currently keep only 1 picture for the blog.
4. Don't add search functionality now. But keep the tags feature. Every blog should have some associated tags.

[eleensmathew]

in sites like leetcode the tags are predefined so should th etags here also be only available in the list? Or can users enter their own cutom tags? do these tags have their own custom color?

[kunal2812]

Allow custom tags for blogs. Limit no. of tags to 5 for one blog post.
Color for tags not required.

i see over here in the comments that the picture of the user who has made the comment has been displayed. Does the user necessarily have to have an account in the website before commenting? if so then why has name and email been asked in comment form? if not then what should i do about the picture.

also in the baove image a short bio about about th euser and their picture has been dispalyed. Do you want me to make a userprofile model?

[kunal2812]

Remove the comment form and add neccessary fields (profile picture, bio etc.) to User model. Only registered users should be ablt to comment.

[eleensmathew]

hey is this fine for comments

or do i still need to display the profile picture and name here?

[kunal2812]

Looks okay. Add the time as well at which the comment was made.
