Blog sprinkle for Userfrosting v5.1.

Installation

1. Add the package to your composer.json. This can be done with:

composer require archey347/uf_blog

2. Install via NPM

npm install @archey347/uf_blog

3. Add the blog sprinkle to sprinkles at the top of your webpack.config.js

const sprinkles = {
  // ...
  Blog: require('@archey347/uf_blog/webpack.entries')
  // ...
}

Add the Blog sprinkle to getSprinkles in your main sprinkle recipe

// ...
use UserFrosting\Sprinkle\Blog\Blog;
// ...
class MyApp implements
    SprinkleRecipe,
    BakeryRecipe
{
    // ...
    public function getSprinkles(): array
    {
        return [
            Core::class,
            Account::class,
            Admin::class,
            AdminLTE::class,
            Blog::class,
            // ...
        ];
    }
    // ...
}

5. (Re)-build assets

php bakery assets:build

6. Run the bakery migration to create the required database tables.

php bakery migrate

7. Seed the permissions for access control

php bakery seed

Then select UserFrosting\Sprinkle\Blog\Database\Seeds\BlogPermissionsSeed

Hopefully, after all that, you should be able to visit http://<your-ip>/admin/blogs and see the blog admin page.

WYSIWYG Editor

The blog uses the CKeditor 5 to allow for basic formatting in blog posts

Blog Formatting

To change the formatting of the blog, edit the twig template at templates/pages/blog-view.html.twig.

Permissions

When the sprinkle is first installed, there are two permissions:

1. uri_blog_manager
2. uri_blog_manager_view

Both permissions allow access to managing the blogs, however, uri_blog_manager_view gives only read access to the blog managment (This is useful if you want to allow somebody to add or remove posts to the blogs but not actually manage them).

By default, all blogs are publicly viewable.

Permissions can be customised on a per-blog basis, by overriding the blog access control layer with a class that implements the interface UserFrosting\Sprinkle\Blog\Authorise\BlogAccessControlLayerInterface.
