OCtoberCMS Blog plugin Rainlab

Question

When i create a new Post and write in the excerpt, the post image on the news page just dissappears . It only works if i have no excerpt. Also .. How can i create new posts with existing classes already written in my css?

Without the excerpt ir works just fine. Showing image and text that i add on the post.

My code

<section id="content">

        <div class="content-wrap">

            <div class="container clearfix">



          <div  class="row"> {% component 'blogPosts' %}


          </div>



            </div>

        </div>

    </section><!-- #content end -->

Answer 1

When not defining an excerpt , a summary attribute is appended to the model. See https://github.com/rainlab/blog-plugin/blob/master/models/Post.php#L344 . If your content starts with an image, it might be that the summary function kicks in and generates the image.

As for the CSS part

I think you're looking to override the partial set by {% componenent 'blogPosts' %} . As per the docs ( https://octobercms.com/docs/cms/components#overriding-partials )

All component partials can be overridden using the theme partials. If a component called channel uses the title.htm partial. We can override the partial by creating a file in our theme called partials/channel/title.htm .

Alternatively you can cmd / ctrl + doubleclick to expand the default component markup inside the CMS editor.

In this way you can edit your markup to match your theme.

Answer 2

If you want to override markup there is really easy way. for image @CptMeatball added proper answer you can check that out.

This way you have full control on mark-up and you can edit it.

1. Click on expand component it will reveal mark-up of component

2. Now you can add your own markup and edit it.

if any doubt please comment.
