How to use auto make slug feature for non-english character?

I'd like posts with non-english character title.

but, auto-slug feature not working.

How I can fix it? is there any code for non-english user's slug?

Incorrect positioning of the cursor

OS: Windows 8.1
Browser: Chrome 34.0.1847.13 m & Firefox 29.0.1
Screen: 1920x1080

The cursor goes to the right, approximately four characters. If select text, then everything is fine.

If select text, and then delete it, then removed the actual position.

[Bug] Categories not staying checked

Hi, I've noticed that when you check a category for a blog post, the selected Category does not stay checked when you return to the post to edit again - if you then save the post, there are no categories assigned.

There is a forum topic here.

This seems to be CMS wide, not just the Blog plugin, but have posted the issue here as this plugin contains the issue.

Thanks

Migrating from WP

Hey, I was wondering if there is an easy way to migrate from Wordpress to Blog! I'm planning on moving it, but I don't have much free time for it, if there is a way, please enlighten me! Thanks

og:image

Hello,

I am trying to setup the featured image as the og:image. How can this be done?
In the facebook debugger I can see the featured image in the post but once I share it, the shared image changes to the blog logo.

Thanks

Change the slug automatically when renaming a blog post

1. Click New post in Blog > Posts page.
2. Enter the title of your new blog post. The slug will be automatically filled in.
3. Enter some text in the Edit tab of the editor.
4. Click Save then Save and close to return to the Manage the blog posts screen.
5. Reopen this post you just added.
6. Delete the title of the post and enter a new one.
7. The slug will remain unchanged, it will refer to the old address.

When I delete the slug and I want to save the post with the new title, "The slug field is requiored" message is displayed.

A small improvement would be, when you change the title, the slug also would change automatically.

Word counter feature

That would be awesome if we could see the number of words entered on each blog post when we are editing. I tried to find where to add that functionality but unfortunately I was not successful. Can you show me where you add your custom event handlers to the ace editor so I can add this functionality and send you a pull request?

can i use rainlab.translate plugin with this ?

Post count order

Strange behavior :)

"SQLSTATE[42S22]: Column not found: 1054 Unknown column 'post_count' in 'order clause'
(SQL: select `rainlab_blog_categories`.* from `rainlab_blog_categories` order by `post_count`

post.url not getting populated

On a clean install with the latest git version of this plugin and build 225 of OctoberCMS the $post->url variable is returning null, thus linking post titles to the home page instead of the blog post.

Uploading feature images broken

With the new Media Manager update (awesome feature) it appears to have broken the feature image upload.

When uploading an image it now shows up blank, and you cannot access the image properties modal window.

(it gets stuck loading the properties box)

I checked the \storage\app\media and the image did upload successfully.

Many Thanks

Solution is simple, just disable $routePersistence;
Also we can add 3th parameter to
setUrl($pageName, $controller, $routePersistence = true)
function on the Models

does not contain a method 'paramName' Exception

I have installed the Blog plugin. I create a new category. Create a new blog post and assign it a category. Then I create a new page and add the Blog List component to that page. When I preview the page I receive the exception below. I'm fairly new to Laravel and extremely new to October CMS. Please let me know what additional information I can provide for troubleshooting or forgive me if this is a simple newb mistake.

The component 'RainLab\Blog\Components\Posts' does not contain a method 'paramName'.

//Posts.php
if ($pageNumberParam = $this->param('pageNumber')) {

            // @deprecated remove if year >= 2015
            $deprecatedPageNumber = $this->propertyOrParam('pageParam');

            $currentPage = $this->property('pageNumber', $deprecatedPageNumber);

            if ($currentPage > ($lastPage = $this->posts->getLastPage()) && $currentPage > 1)
                return Redirect::to($this->currentPageUrl([$pageNumberParam => $lastPage]));
        }

//ComponentBase.php
        }

        if (method_exists($this->controller, $method)) {
            return call_user_func_array([$this->controller, $method], $parameters);
        }

        throw new CmsException(Lang::get('cms::lang.component.method_not_found', [

Categories page shows Exception

when navigating to blog/categories i got the following:

[Request] Add orderBy("updated_at", "desc") to loadPosts()

Guys, great Blog plugin! So easy to implement, really impressed :)

Just one little addition from me would be to add the query ->orderBy('updated_at', 'desc') to each return in the loadPosts() functions in both the components/Posts.php and the components/Category.php files?

Only because, if you were to post multiple posts and publish them on the same day, currently the newer posts will appear below the older posts in the list.

User permission to manage/edit blog posts/categories

I cannot set user/group permission to give this u/g access to blog plugin and blog plugin only.
Or I don't know smth? :)

rain.blog next and previous posts

is there a simple way to implement next and previous post navigation. So readers can move through the articles one by one without having to return to the post list page?

Display attachment item

How i can display attachment item in my posts list?

Backup and Restore

Hey,

Does anyone know if there's support for backup/restore? Where are the blog posts stored by default? Are they in the database?

My whole goddamned install got nuked when upgrading to RC, and while I managed to recover all of my static content after a reinstall, my blog posts are kaput.

Any idea on how to get those back?

Thanks,

Mike

Fatal while sorting by categories

memcache restart helped

Excerpt and Description

Hi RainLab, Prompt how to display the contents of the "Excerpt" in "meta=Description" on page post?

redirect problem

I have my development localhost set as october/....
When I save a blogpost i get redirected to october/http://october/....

I use nginx as webserver.

No link to category on detail post page

When you are viewing a detail's post, at the very bottom when says: "Posted in dummy".

This is the part of code which do that:

<p class="info">
    Posted
    {% if post.categories.count %} in {% endif %}
    {% for category in post.categories %}
        <a href="{{ categoryPage|page({'slug': category.slug}) }}">{{ category.name }}</a>{% if not loop.last %}, {% endif %}
    {% endfor %}
    on {{ post.published_at|date('M d, Y') }}
</p>

There is no uri at the "href" attribute of the "a" tag.

That should be something like "blog/category/dummy" instead of you receive something like:

<p class="info">
    Posted in <a href="">Dummy</a> on Jul 09, 2014
</p>

"Error in exception handler." on new post.

Rain blog posts page pagination not working

I have not changed anything. The config is just like following

but pagination is not working. when clicking in links its always in the first page instead of clicked page.

[Feature Request] Nested categories/sub-categories, support hierarchical URLs

The Blog Plugin (http://octobercms.com/plugin/rainlab-blog) is quite good, but I have a huge pain point that is stopping me from using it (and therefore, OctoberCMS). I really need nested categories (categories and subcategories) in the blog, both for "clean" URLs for the end-user, and for SEO. I imagine a lot of other people would want this feature as well...I would really appreciate you making this a priority, given how much momentum octoberCMS is starting to pick up now.

See screenshots from wordpress here: https://wordpress.org/plugins/hierarchical-link-categories/screenshots/

Details:

This page: /october/backend/rainlab/blog/categories currently shows a flat list of categories. It would be very useful to have this list be hierarchical (so, you can add sub-categories to the tree). Optional / Nice to have: You can drag/drop categories and subcategories anywhere in the tree.

The front-end would show nested URLs like: /getting-pregnant/trying-to-conceive/article1.htm /getting-pregnant/trying-to-conceive/article2.htm In general: /{category1}/{sub-category2}/{sub-sub-category3}/article1.htm
Optional / Advanced feature: The Back end could allow the admin to select URLs that are either flat, or nested. If 'flat' is selected for the URL structure, the front-end for the 3 examples above would have URLs like: /trying-to-conceive/article1.htm /trying-to-conceive/article2.htm In general: /{sub-sub-category3}/article1.htm

The schema and sample data for categories would look something like this:

CREATE TABLE categories ( id int(10) unsigned NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT, id_parent int(10) unsigned DEFAULT NULL, name varchar(63) COLLATE utf8_unicode_ci NOT NULL, url varchar(255) COLLATE utf8_unicode_ci DEFAULT NULL, is_featured tinyint(1) NOT NULL DEFAULT '0', is_active tinyint(1) NOT NULL DEFAULT '1', PRIMARY KEY (id) ) ENGINE=InnoDB AUTO_INCREMENT=132 DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8 COLLATE=utf8_unicode_ci;

/*Sample Data for the table categories */
insert into categories(id,id_parent,name,url,is_featured,is_active) values (1,0,'Considering a Baby','/considering-a-baby',0,1); insert into categories(id,id_parent,name,url,is_featured,is_active) values (2,0,'Getting Pregnant','/getting-pregnant',0,1); insert into categories(id,id_parent,name,url,is_featured,is_active) values (3,0,'Pregnancy','/pregnancy',0,1); insert into categories(id,id_parent,name,url,is_featured,is_active) values (4,1,'Are We Ready?','/considering-a-baby/are-we-ready',0,1); insert into categories(id,id_parent,name,url,is_featured,is_active) values (5,2,'Trying To Conceive','/getting-pregnant/trying-to-conceive',0,1);

erusev/parsedown~1.3 breaks image uploads

I just installed a fresh copy of october and all of a sudden the blog image upload stopped working. It took a while to track down the problem.

With parsedown~1.1.2, Markdown parses

![1](image)

as

<img alt="1" src="image" />

as expected by the TagProcessor filter.

When installing, I got parsedown~1.3 and now the Markdown parser returns

<img src="image" alt="1" />

thus breaking the regexp in the TagProcessor callback that replaces the slug img tag with the proper markup for Dropzone.

I haven't tracked down exactly which build of erusev/parsedown that changes the order of the attributes, but there have been a lot of new versions the last few days.

Fix the documentation

Please fix the documentation here.

Current (broken) code sample:

[blogPosts]
categoryFilter = ":slug"

Working (fixed) code sample:

[blogPosts]
categoryFilter = "{{ :slug }}"

rain.blog - category and pagination not workiing as expected

Can you check there isn't an issue with RC breaking the blog plugin. I have tried dozens of times to set this up as per instruction video on vimeo but although there are no errors clicking on the category from the list does not filter the results it just shows all results again. Also pagination does not seem to work, clicking on 'next' takes me to the 'blog post' page rather than page 2 of 'blog posts'

I have no error messages or screen shots but I hope my explanation is clear enough ;)

I realise I may have implemented the plugin wrong but I'm pretty sure all is at it should be, based on your video. If you can confirm everything is working as it should I can carry on my end

Is it correct that blog slug and category slug would both be ":slug"
Is it OK that the urls for my 3 pages are as follows

posts page = /articles/:page? - articles.htm
categories page = /articles/category/:slug/:page? - categories.htm
single post page = /articles/:slug - article-single.htm

FYI, I tried this without the :page slug (not bothered with pagination at the time) and still categories did not work , all posts were shown they were not filtered by category

Also is any of this stored in database? Is it possible if I misconfigured the plugin set-up and then amended it that the amendments didn't get written to database so that no matter how often I tweak the plugin settings it keeps using an incorrect one??

Thanks

Class 'October\Rain\Support\Markdown' not found

When creating a new post, it throws a class not found error:

Class 'October\Rain\Support\Markdown' not found

Line 7 in models/Post.php has:

use October\Rain\Support\Markdown;

Has something changed with October causing this path to be wrong as changing line 7 to:

use Markdown;

Fixes the issue.

Blog post - Autofilled "published on" wrong date

If creating a blog post and you let it "autoset" (ie, you don't specify anything manually) the published on date. It auto filled in "1999-12-31 18:00:00". This is obviously the wrong date.

How can I use a custom partial?

The plugin uses \components\posts\default.htm as default partial for rendering the posts-list. Where can I adjust this, so that I can use: \components\posts\custom.htm

The partial '(...)_field_datepicker.htm' is not found.

October bld.155, blog plg 1.0.8
fucked up after upgrade Oct from 153 to 155

need date with time

now only date incorrect Sort order in list of posts if 2 or more in one day

Class 'October\Rain\Support\Markdown' not found

Trying to reproduce the steps on https://vimeo.com/97088926 when I try to create a new blog post I have the following error:

Class 'October\Rain\Support\Markdown' not found

There is an October\Rain\Support\Facades\Markdown class and it has an annotation mentioning that it resolves to October\Rain\Parse\Markdown

Issue uploading image in Blog

If I use the syntax ![1](image) in the content, then use the supplied upload panel, i get this error when trying to upload the image:

Error uploading file "image-1.jpg". SQLSTATE[42S22]: Column not found: 1054 Unknown column 'public' in 'field list' (SQL: insert into `system_files` (`public`, `file_name`, `file_size`, `content_type`, `disk_name`, `updated_at`, `created_at`) values (1, image-1.jpg, 69175, image/jpeg, 53a89f1eed23b962780263.jpg, 2014-06-23 22:41:50, 2014-06-23 22:41:50))

The code is correct in the formwidgets/Preview.php as it is posting to the is_public field, just don't think CMS is installing the version of the plugin which has this in, it's installing a previous version as the Preview.php form widget is posting to a public field and throwing the above error - may need a version bump to pull down the changes?

And before you ask, yes I have refreshed the plugin to make sure ;)

The featured images on blog posts

The featured images on detail blog posts are not displayed.

Doesn't show 404 page when post is not exists

I made this.
function onEnd()
{
if(!$this->post){
$this->setStatusCode(404);
Response::make( $this->controller->run('404'), 404 );
return;
}
}
but it's not working when we don't have a 404 page. It must to show octobercms 404 and also
index route is /:page?1|^[0-9]+$
blog route is /:slug

It's only routes to blog not to page

Any idea?

Duplicating Plugin

( octobercms/october#956 )
Hi

I want to duplicate a plugin for use another purpose. I am using Blog plugin from Rainlab for listing Stores and I'll use same plugin for listing campaigns and listing movies. Searched for some other blog plugin but there isn't i guess. How can I do that?

Thank you

Pagination does not work when listing blog posts

Hi, clicking on the pagination navigation buttons does not have any effects. Only the first posts are shown. It looks like the links on the pagination navigation buttons are not created correctly.

But maybe I am missing something.

blogPost.title causing problems

I'm seeing this error:

An exception has been thrown during the rendering of a template ("The component 'RainLab\Blog\Components\Post' does not contain a method 'title'.").

On this page: http://crowdersoup.com/blog/post/find-replace-without-regex-javascript

Anyone else seeing this?

FR: KeyValue Pairs

NOTE: This is a feature request

You should have the ability, in a specific tab, during blog post creation/editting to apply custom key-value pairs that can be accessed in the page.

Something like:
Key: [] Value: [_____________________________] [ + ]

pressing the [ + ] button would add another KeyValue pair

Which when put in like:
Key: [something____] Value: [Something about something or something________]

and then do this in the page:
{{ post.keyVal.something }}

Outputs Something about something or something to the page.

This will help a lot with custom post types, such as:
In my usage I would have a youtube key and a disqus key which I would pass to partials to generate a specific youtube video and disqus thread.

Post Only Displays & Outputs First Paragraph When Using WYSIWYG Editor (Pictures)

I was so happy to see that this blog now works with the WYSIWYG editor. Makes my life so much easier when dealing with clients adding content.

I thought I was going crazy though, it was a bit odd at first here as it doesn't mirror the content on the left, it only accounts for the first paragraph, but I figured it was just a visual bug:

Low and behold, the actual saved output using the default {{ post.content_html|raw }} on the blog turned out to be only the first paragraph too. Same amount that was displayed in the editor's live preview:

The only way to fix it on my end is by turning off the WYSIWYG editor and then the content begins to mirror on the right-hand side and outputs properly. Only problem is that I need the WYSIWYG editor for my clients to manage their blog posts.

Thanks!

Bug: Author empty

Today I started playing around with OctoberCMS and some plugins. But first I want to say, this CMS is the bomb! 😄

I think i've found a bug. I've created a few blog posts but the Author is empty and I'm unable to edit it. I can't find the Author field but maybe it should be filled as default?

Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks!

How make Read more functionaly.

Need on posts lit page display short article with Read more link. How can i do this?

Posts published on future date showing in post listing

This may be more of a feature request, but I noticed this evening that if I check "published" and select a future date it still appears in the blog list immediately. Not only that, but I can also navigate directly to the blog post.

I would expect that selecting a future date would result in the post not showing in the post list until that date, and a 404 or "Cannot find post" message when it's navigated to directly. If this is not the desired behavior set me straight!

Thanks for the awesome plugins and CMS!
