Configure Blog on a Community

In 1.7, there is a function on the admin console at Communities -> Settings -> Blog Settings.  This function isn't available on our 2.5 test instance.  Did it move somewhere?  Or how do I perform the blog settings functions?

 

Thanks, Robert

Hi Robert,

 

Could you be more specific about which settings you are looking for?  In 2.5, the Blog settings has its own tab.

Hi Robert,

 

This functionallity is no longer possible in 2.5.  You can create blogs in communities, in a user's account, or a system blog.  The screenshot you sent would be considered a system blog.  You cannot link communities to system blogs in 2.5.

 

Thanks,

Cory

Re: Configure Blog on a Community

Hi Robert,

 

When you create a Community, you can select Blogs as a content type for the space:

If you have already created the community, you can add Blogs under Community > Settings > Community Settings in the Admin Console.  Use the (change community) link at the top of the page to select the community you want to work with.

Once Blogs are enabled for a specific community, you should see the option to create a Blog Post under the actions widget for that community:

Let me know if you have trouble with any of this.

 

Thanks,

Cory

Hi,

 

I am not sure what you mean by that last response.  Can you please elaborate?  Have you resolved this issue?

 

Thanks,

Cory
