Posting an entry

From BBlog

Instructions on posting with external applications (such as [w.bloggar|//www.wbloggar.com w.bloggar (http://www.wbloggar.com)]) can be found at Posting with external applications.

After signing in to your bBlog administration screen using your username and password, you will be presented with a "Post Entry" screen. Let's go through each field:

Logging In

To begin, log into the admin panel for bBlog. To do this, go to http://www.yoursite.com/heresmyblog/bblog, and use the username and password you created during installation. If you do not remember your username and password you can use your webservers phpmyadmin/mysql (a.k.a. myadmin panel) and look in the Authors section for your password. Once logged in, click the Post button from the menu list. Now head on down to the next step.

Title

Here you enter the title of your post. Make it something snappy and on subject. Or not, it's truly up to you and your whim.

To access this parameter in your template use the smarty attribute {$post.title}

Entry Text

Here you enter the main text of your post. This is usually the best place to say what you have to say and not say what you feel you should not.

To access this parameter in your template use the smarty attribute {$post.body}

Read More

Ever wondered how to add a "Read More" link to your blog posts? Well, in your post simply follow the following rules:

To cut off a story and replace it with a link:

   My amazing story
   <!-- readmore -->
   of my amazing story... it's amaaazing

To cut out a section of text and replace it with it's own link

   My amazing story
   <!-- readmore: read it now! -->
   This is my hidden story
   <!-- /readmore -->
   And back to the post again.

Entry Modifier

Formats your entry according to one of these five rule sets:

1. BBCode - Converts your message from bbCode per [http://http://www.phpbb.com/phpBB/faq.php?mode=bbcode] to html
2. None - No formatting is applied to your post
3. Newlines and URLs - Formats your post so that all urls become hyperlinks and all line breaks are converted to <br/> tags.
4. Textile v2 - Formatting is applied per [1] (http://textism.com/tools/textile/)
5. Texturize - Formatting is applied per [2] (http://photomatt.net/tools/texturize)

Sections

Select none, any or all of the sections you have created - see the [Sections] documentation for how to manage these. Your post will then be associated with the sections you select, and this can be used for advance sorting and filtering.

Template Code = {$post.sections}

Publication Status

Sets the status of the post, either draft (further revisions) or live (ready to go.)

Send Trackback

Will ping the blog tracker(s) you have configured under the Options screen.

Save Entry

Click this button when your post is complete. You will receive a confirmation message that the post was successful, and you can view your blog to check.
