----------------------

[](#rainlabblog-extension)

> *OctoberCMS > Backend > Settings > Small Extensions > Blog*

> *Depends on: [Rainlab.Blog](https://octobercms.com/plugin/rainlab-blog) plugin!*

Rainlab Blog is a great plugin, but none of my clients is happy with MarkDown syntax to edit posts.

#### Settings

[](#settings)

- **WYSIWYG editor**

    - Enable to switch between default MarkDown or OctoberCMS's Rich editor.
    - Allows you to add custom toolbar buttons.
- **Change post author**

    - Adds post author field with administrators dropdown
- **Link Rainlab User**

    - Adds Rainlab User field with users dropdown (but will be visible only if Rainlab User plugin is installed)
- **Custom fields**

    - Adds selected extra fields to blog post editing page on More tab (available fields: API code, string, text, switch, date&time, repeater (as notes) and Media image)
    - Allow to replace original featured images upload field with one featured image selectable from Media manager

Rainlab.Pages Extension
-----------------------

[](#rainlabpages-extension)

> *OctoberCMS > Backend > Settings > Small Extensions > Static pages*

> *Depends on: [Rainlab.Pages](https://octobercms.com/index.php/plugin/rainlab-pages) plugin!*

#### Settings

[](#settings-1)

- **Hide Content field (depricated)**

    - Allow to hide default Content tab and field from Pages editing page.
    - Useful for those, who uses {variable} fields and are little bit confused with default secondary content tab.
- **Enable Menu notes**

    - If on, new tab Notes and a field Note is added to Menu items editing popup window.
    - text is then accessible from page/layout from {{item.viewBag.note}}.
- **Enable Page duplicating**

    - If on, Static Pages can be duplicated by backend user.

System Extension
----------------

[](#system-extension)

> *OctoberCMS > Backend > Settings > Small Extensions > System*

#### Settings

[](#settings-2)

- **Custom fields**
    - Adds extra fields to backend administrators form (currently only field description)

Twig Extensions
---------------

[](#twig-extensions)

#### New functions

[](#new-functions)

- **getImageSizeAttributes(image)**
- Get image dimensions for use in `` tag like: ``
- Will output ``.
- **|\_** (trans), **|\_\_** (choice)

    - If Rainlab Translate plugin is not present, bypass trans and choice functions
- **truncate**

    - {{ text|truncate(20, true, '\*') }}
    - length, preserve words (default false), separator (default is '...')

Report Widgets
--------------

[](#report-widgets)

#### Cache cleaner

[](#cache-cleaner)

There is a dashboard widget that cleans cache files and folders.

*It doesn't use Artisan `cache:clear` so it works on sites where `putenv()` function is disabled.*

#### Optimize database

[](#optimize-database)

There is a dashboard widget that optimize database.

Supported databases and used commands:

- SQLite - VACUUM

Components
----------

[](#components)

\#### Force login

You can place **forceLogin** component to your page, layout or partial.

Than if you check `Allow force login` checkbox in Plugin's settings, visitors will be redirected to `backedUri` configured in `/config/cms.php`.

Useful when you need to limit access to several pages or whole site to only administrators while testing.
