Overview

Blogging in CommonSpot should be as simple and easy as managing events. Users should be able to add/modify/delete and reuse blog content easily. The reworking of the original blog application will build upon the lessons learned and take advantage of new ADF features.

Getting Started

Requirements

  • Each blog post should have their own page.
  • Each blog should belong to a subsite.
  • Searching should be available by blog.
  • Tags should be used for both categorization and page metadata (keywords).
  • Blog posts should have the option to display comments (or not).
  • Blog posts should have the option to display trackbacks (or not).
  • Users posting comments should be able to authenticate against:
    • CommonSpot
    • External DB
    • Facebook (via Facebook Connect)
  • Blog pages should display a 30 day calendar widget with recent blog posts highlighted like the Calendar of Events.
  • Blogs should be managed from a central administrator.
  • Blogs should have security to control who owns and who can post.
  • Blog posts should have a "draft" status that allows the post to not be published.

Technical Specs

  • Custom Field type for categories should preform better than the previous application.
  • Calendar Element will be handled similar to Events element using a RH on the Blog Element with the proper filter.
  • Creating a blog post will use the Add Blog Post Custom script which will create the page similar to the way the American AUpedia application is completed.
  • In the Add Blog Post functionality a CS CFT Subsite would be used to create a new subsite for the new blog.
