First of all apologies (again) for the almost radio silence from me of late. Life has been very much getting in the way of the Template Repo project of late!
That said, I’m pleased to introduce the first Foundry & Alloy freebie: Blogger.
To download Blogger you need to have joined the members section of Template Repo. It’s free, so if you haven’t already signed up, you can do so here: Register for the free to join members area.
Blogger is a self-contained Rapidweaver project built with Foundry v2 (Inc. Potion Pack) and Alloy. It’s simple, elegant and has all the features modern bloggers demand.
Although Blogger only consists of two pages; the main page and the editor page. Thanks to the clever use of the Alloy Conditional stack, it feels like a much bigger website once published, thanks to an entirely different layout on the main page and subsequent blog post pages.
Use Blogger “as-is”, expand it with additional pages or drop the main page into a more significant project.
PLEASE NOTE The posts that exist on the demo site are not included with the project. Due to the way Alloy works this isn’t possible. Once you have changed the settings in your version of Blogger (URL’s etc.) and published it to your server you will need to add your own posts.
Requirements
Rapidweaver 8
Stacks 4
Foundry v2 by Elixir
Potion Pack For Foundry
Alloy v3 2 By Elixir
Blogger is made available for free on an unsupported basis by Template Repo.
Apologies. That is a bit of content that should have been removed from the final public project, but I seem to have missed it. You can just delete it, it’s not used in the version I’ve made available.
I’ve updated the download to a version that doesn’t include that group of stacks.
Ahhh, flip! Looks like another non-Foundry stack has crept in. I originally built this for myself, so used lots of different stacks. I ripped though it to use only Foundry stacks, but it seems missed one. Or maybe two!
I’m on it now, a new version for download soon.
It’s actually hard to see what non-Foundry stacks are used when you have everything in your system, so any other issues you can spot?
Oh my goodness me. I’m not very good at this today! I need to work out a way to check I’m only using Foundry stacks, as the way I thought worked, clearly doesn’t!
@TemplateRepo Not a problem. The problem (for you) is I have a lot of stacks. So potentially there’s some other stacks that might show up missing for others but don’t for me.
Tell me about it! It’s the same for me. I’ve everything, so when I try to only use a set few stacks (Foundry in this case), it’s actually way harder than it seems! I really thought just looking thru the project for non-Foundry stacks would be fine, clearly not!
Anyway, third time lucky, I hope. Version 3 now on the download link. Fingers crossed
