14 - Implementing the Weblog Comments Template
In this chapter I’ll show how to implement the weblog/comments template that will display the full weblog post as well as visitor comments. This is a pretty straightforward ExpressionEngine implementation with the exception of creating some additional embedded templates.
13 - Implementing the Weblog Index Template
This post in the Building a Church Site on ExpressionEngine will cover how to use the weblog/index template for weblog, category, and archive views. In order to do that I use several new-to-the-series EE tags, do some in-depth URL analysis, and then put EE segment variables and conditionals to work.
12 - Implementing the Church Weblog Backend
Weblogs can be a great communication vehicle for churches - allowing the church to keep a steady flow of news and updates to the site. The weblog can also be a place where the pastor can minister to the church members during the week. In this chapter of the Building a Church Site Series I’ll cover implementing the backend components necessary for the weblog section of the church site I’m building on ExpressionEngine.
11 - ExpressionEngine-izing the Home Page
In this chapter of the Building a Church Site series I’ll begin the ExpressionEngine integration, starting with the home page. I’ll cover creating a new weblog and a new field group. Then I’ll create some new content in the weblog, and add the necessary EE tags the template to pull that new content back from the weblog back to the Home Page.
10 - Templates for New Content Types
In this installment the remaining unique content styles from the purchased template set are brought into ExpressionEngine templates and some additional coding tweaks are applied for better page structure, search engine optimization and accessibility.
