Sideblog

Categories: Skin feature, Downloadable Plugin, Deprecated

No longer necessary because the functionality has been integrated into the b2evolution's core.

For more information, please read this page

The Sideblog plugin allows you to insert another blog in the sidebar of your skin with simple plugin call. A sidebar blog can be used for brief posts, links, photos or any other list you want arranged chronologically.

Nice plugin…thanks for your work.

Have a way to limit the numbers of characters of the post to show? If you have a long post, limit to 100 characters to show and one link to “more".

Is there an easy and clean way to display an rss feed through here?

Good plug in, has potential.

One thing I have noticed is that the limit does not work. I am trying to use this for movie reviews and would like to just show one movie and not more. Maybe it is showing one from each category of that blog… either way, I would like to show just one entry on the side column.

Another thing I think would be good is to limit the content to say 500 characters so that you don’t have a long scroll to the bottom of the side bar… with more than one post that can get pretty long. Then have a “read More” link that will link to the blog post.

I have been playing with this and can get it somewhat working (I am an ASP person) but only with one entry in the blog, when there is more than one… then it mis formats the page.

Other than that… I am pretty happy with it.
