Creating a blog on Power Pages and Dataverse

Hi everyone,

 

I'd like to create a blog on Power Pages and Dataverse.

 

The template I have for my portal is a standard Power Pages site template, like this one:

Noting that this template is not one of the Dynamics Portal Templates which have additional features, like the Blog feature available in the Community Portal. So, I'd like to build my own blog in one of the basic standard templates.

 

For a simple blog, I think I'll need the following:

 

1. A Dataverse table for storing blog posts and their content.

2. A Dataverse table for storing blog post comments (related to the first table of course).

3. Two HTML/Liquid Web Templates: one for a blogs listing section, and another one for a blog post.

4. Two Page Templates: one to include the blogs listing section, and another to include a blog post.

 

Questions:

1. Does the above sound about right? I'd appreciate your comments on this or any suggestions on how to go about building a simple functional blog.

2. As per this article, there is a built-in web template in (adx_webtemplate) called blogs, which could be included in page templates with {% include 'blogs' %}, how can this be used for building a blog?

 

Thanks

    The blogs template will refer to the Blog entity of the portal. You can replicate this using your own custom table and correct as above, a page to display the table of blog comments/posts and a few Add/Edit forms should do it.
