Hi all, 

 

Fairly new to power pages, wondering if there's a way to create ablog using power pages. Whether it's internal or external. 

 

Thanks in advance

    Hi @_sourcecod3_ @mosimkhapathan 

     

    I have tested the modern community power pages template. The out-of-the-box functionality allows me to edit and create blogs without doing any custom work. 

     

    Make sure you have the right permissions for the environment. 

     

    Hope it helps.

    Hi @_sourcecod3_ , @mosimkhapathan ,

     

    an solution which came to my mind would be liquid.

    Create a dataverse table and columns (Heading, Title, Description etc. , maybe one more for active and inactive or you can use the status for that)

    Create a liquid Fetch XML web template and get all your blogs from the table. Use a For loop and create blogs within your html.

     

    If you need users to create new blog posts you can just use a simple form for that.

    A bit more tricky would be to upload images but even that would be possible.

     

    Use id's and classes to further customize your posts.

    Template to create a blog post for each item filtered:

    {% for result in blogposts -%}
     {%- if forloop.length > 0 -%}
     <div id="blogpost"> 
     <h1> {{ result.heading }} </h1>
     <h3> {{ result.title }} </h3>
     <p> {{ result.description }} </p>
     </div>
     {% unless forloop.last %}, {% endunless -%}
     {%- endif -%}
    {% endfor %}

    Hi @_sourcecod3_ 

     

    Welcome to the Power Pages forum. FYI. Power Pages is not a complete Content Management System like WordPress, Joomla or Drupal. 

     

    If you are good at dataverse data modelling. You can create custom tables and apply security concepts like web roles, web page access control rules and table permissions to behave like CMS. 

     

    If you don't want to spend time in data modelling and start blog-based power pages, then there is some good news for you. 

     

    Choose relevant Dynamics 365 Templates. Official link here

     

    You can pick 1. Customer self-service or Modern community site template which is pre-built with blog features.

     

    NB: Don't panic, your licensing option will be the same as the Power Pages licensing. Only difference when you create a new environment, you need to enable "Dynamics 365"  

     

    Hope it helps.
