|
Blog template tags <BL_CommentCustom1> to <BL_CommentCustom5> are also available
to show the (optional) custom profile field for the user.
Additional template tags are available to help you create links to various parts of
your blog, bulletin board, guestbook or other software application.
| <BL_CommentNameUrl> | turns name into URL |
| <BL_CommentsUrl> | creates URL to comments for same post |
|
The <BL_CommentNameUrl> tag is used to create part of a URL where
posts by this user can be located.
/Blog/User/<BL_PostNameUrl>
Or create a link to the profile for the user.
/Blog/Profile/<BL_PostNameUrl>
The <BL_CommentsUrl> blog tag is used to create part of a URL to
more comments to the same post.
/Blog/Archive/<BL_CommentsUrl>
After the blog software posts a new comment, the posted.html blog template file is shown. At that point,
the <BL_NewCommentUrl> tag can be used to create a URL to view the post the comment was added to.
/Blog/Archive/<BL_NewCommentUrl>
Next are some blog template tags which can be used to navigate from one page of comments
to the next.
| <BL_PreviousPageURL> | shows full URL for previous page |
| <BL_NextPageURL> | shows full URL for next page |
|
You can also create a list of links, linking to each page of blog or bulletin board
comments for the same post.
| <BL_CommentLinks> | |
| <separator> | character shown between page links |
|
Conditional blog tags are available to check if there is a next/previous page of comments.
