Blog Settings and Posts

Last edit: Sep 23, 2024

Warning

This article promotes the deprecated Blog module, which is not following best practices like Commands and Events, and does not use our core module. There is no up-to-date version of this module; however, the module itself is functional and can be used to provide blog functionality.

Blog settings and posts are fetched with GraphQL queries. The flexibility of GraphQL gives you the possibility to implement any search functionality you need. Every Property added to the fields will be available to add to the installed queries.

Example: Get blog posts GraphQL query

You can fetch blog settings with:

{%- graphql g = 'modules/dashboard_blog/get_blog_instance' -%}

You can fetch all post details with:

{%- graphql g = 'modules/dashboard_blog/get_blog_posts' -%}
