Configuration

Each blog directory requires an XML configuration file. This is used to provide titles and information for the [RSS and Atom feeds].

Blog Settings

Blog Settings can be edited directly via /blog/blogsettings.xml.

<title>ACME Sample Blog</title> - Used in the RSS feed

<hostname>http://www.mycompany.com</hostname> - This is used to build the links to articles and MUST be pointed to the root of YOUR web application.

<author>editor</author> - This is the default setting is for use in the RSS feed when their is no author such as an anonymous post.

<description>My cool blog</description> - Used in the RSS Feed

Permissions

The edit permissions must match the permission being used from within the User Manager group editor. oe.blog is a built in permission that can be checked off on a group by group basis. You can also add new permissions if you keep more than one blog on a site.

The editing permissions for a blog are controlled from the /blog/_site.xconf file:

<edit-requirements>
        <and>
            <permission name="oe.blog" />
            <not><page-property name="editable" equals="false" /></not>
        </and>
    </edit-requirements>
