Just a curiosity question.

Is articles dead in the water? Why is blogit better. Also, why did you not use the new pdoresourses?

Everything I know I learned on the internet. Saved me thousands in College tuition,

Well I would say Articles is not dead but not maintained well and inflexible.

BlogIt is flexible because it uses the amazing Collections, you could use it not only for a blog but also for: catalogs, FAQ'S, or overviews of content.
It also is maintained and uses the latest and best extras via the dependencies system.

Good idea about PDoresources will update in next version.

I am running modx 2.5.0 but I am unable to get blogit to install. Is it compatible with this version?

Hello Menno Pietersen,

How can i use Archivist package with BlogIt - I have tried but not working properly. Archivist's link not working properly.

Chunk : blogit.archivelist

<h4>Archives</h4>
<ul>
[[!Archivist? &parents=`1816` &useFurls=`0`]] 
</ul>

Chunk: blogit.get_posts

[[blogit.lexicon_load]]
[[!getPage?
&element=`getResources`
	&parents=`[[*id]]`
	&tpl=`blogit.blog_row_tpl`
	&includeTVs=`1`
	&processTVs=`1`
	&tvPrefix=``
	&where=`[[!TaggerGetResourcesWhere]]`
&limit=`3` 
]]
<div class="pageNav">[[!+page.nav]]</div>

Thanks & Regards,

I think, you will need getArchives to get the results

Hello Bruno17,

I have already implemented getArchives snippets - but it can't work also..

Like :

[[!getArchives? &parents=`1816` &toPlaceholder=`archives`]]
<h2>[[!+arc_month_name]] [[!+arc_year]] Archives</h2>
[[!+archives]]

do you have getResources installed?
Or are you using pdoTools?

If pdoTools, try

&grSnippet=`pdoResources`

you should also try

&showHidden=`1`

if still nothing comes out

Hello,

great Extra!

I wondered how to add a column to the Collections view (Extras -> Collection Views) showing the tag(s) assigned to a post with Tagger?

Thanks for your hints

Add Pagination to BLogIt using pdoPage from pdoTolls

Chunk: blogit.get_posts

[[blogit.lexicon_load]]
[[!pdoPage?
	&parents=`[[*id]]`
    &tpl=`blogit.blog_row_tpl` 
    &limit = `2`
	&where=`[[!TaggerGetResourcesWhere]]`
	&grSnippet=`pdoResources`
	&showHidden=`1`
]]
[[+page.nav]]

hope this help someone!
