The default landing page
By Default the blog landing page can be found at:
www.YOUR_STORE_DOMAIN/store/go/blog/
- The layout of this page includes the blog category panel
{include:BlogCategoryPanel}, a list of blog articles<div id="blogarticlelist">, a panel with the most viewed blog articles{include:BlogMostViewedPanel}, a panel with any archived articles{include:BlogArchivePanel}.
Removing panels
- Removing panels is as simple as removing the NitroScript
{includePanelName}tag.
Modifying panels
- Each panel has its own template that can be modified to suit your needs.
- Each template has a loop that it iterates over.
- This is the mechanism it uses to print out all the blog articles so be slow to break the loop.
FAQs
Q. Is there a way to have a tab to my blog that would go to this landing page? I only see ways to tab a category page or blog article.
- A: You can safely ignore the tabbed/ untabbed input, this refers to making items appear in the default templates.
- If your templates have been modified by designers this functionality probably won’t do anything.
- You might instead add the URL of the blog landing page to your footer in an
<a>tag so that people can go there. - If you need help doing this open a ticket and someone on the support team will talk you through it.
Q: Is there a way to alphabetize the categories on the blog landing page?
- A: The blog is designed to be chronological. Contact support for more information.
