Blog module released

0 | published by Aleksey B. on Monday, June 07, 2010

Several days ago we published the blog module. The module is quite simple, but powerful enough to satisfy the needs of most eCommerce websites. This is the very same module which powers this blog and which we have been using for many months. The module implements the following features:

Blog post categories (no tagging). Each post can belong to multiple categories.
Blog posts in HTML format. The HTML editor is configurable.
Commenting with moderation.
New comments email notifications.
Comments email subscriptions - allows visitors to subscribe to email comment notifications of a specific post.
RSS feeds for posts and comments.
SEO-friendly URLs.
As usual in LemonStand - any custom design can be used for front-end pages.
API for accessing blog posts and categories.

The API allows you to load specific categories from the database, display the blog archive, use custom URLs and do other interesting things. For example, you can use the blog module for displaying testimonials or press releases.

You can find detailed implementation documentation with examples and a comprehensive API description in our Wiki.
