Description
This Blog application is based on standard XWiki Blog Application version 6.1, but should work on older XWiki instances also (was tested successfully on XWiki 5.1). It has changed object model and view to support multiple languages for blog and blog posts. Application uses XWiki multilanguage features, reusing document title and content fields for blog and blog post titles and content.
When installed, this application overwrites standard Blog Application and provides Blog.MigratePosts script to migrate existing data from old to new model. More info is provided at Blog.BlogReleaseNotes document.
Prerequisites & Installation Instructions
We recommend using the Extension Manager to install this extension (Make sure that the text "Installable with the Extension Manager" is displayed at the top right location on this page to know if this extension can be installed with the Extension Manager). Note that installing Extensions when being offline is currently not supported and you'd need to use some complex manual method.
You can also use the following manual method, which is useful if this extension cannot be installed with the Extension Manager or if you're using an old version of XWiki that doesn't have the Extension Manager:
- Log in the wiki with a user having Administration rights
- Go to the Administration page and select the Import category
- Follow the on-screen instructions to upload the downloaded XAR
- Click on the uploaded XAR and follow the instructions
- You'll also need to install all dependent Extensions that are not already installed in your wiki
