Enhanced Blog Module
====================

[](#enhanced-blog-module)

A module to provide added functionality to the default SilverStripe Blog Module and bring it more in line with competing blogging platforms. \*\*Please Note most of these features are now available in silver stripe/blog 2.0 \*\* I'll leave this module for anyone stuck using the older blog module

Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

- SilverStripe 3.1
- silverstripe-blog module 1.0

Feature Overview
----------------

[](#feature-overview)

- Custom Summaries for Blog Entries
- Feature Image for Blog Entries
- Enhanced Authors by Extending the Member Class \*\* Bio, Headshot and Social Media Profiles
- RSS feeds of Tags

Configuration Options
---------------------

[](#configuration-options)

The module adds a has\_many/has\_one relation between BlogEntry and Member. The Author drop down on BlogEntry is pulled from the 'content-author' member group by default. If you only have Default Admin you'll need to make sure you add that user to the content-author group. You can use any other member group by setting defaultGroup on BlogEntry in your config.yml to the desired group code.

```
BlogEntry:
  defaultGroup: 'content-authors'
```

Tag RSS Feed
------------

[](#tag-rss-feed)

The rss feed of any tag can be accessed via
