Blog Layouts upgraded so that posts now have separate list and detailed layouts

09-Aug-2010
If you go to Admin > More Customization Options > Blog Layouts you'll see the screen has been slightly updated to give you access to the new 'Blog Post Details' Layout. This is due to blog posts being given 2 separate layouts now:
  1. 'Blog Post List' determines how the blog post will be rendered when it is listed on the blog itself with the other blog posts that precede it. You can use the 'blogpostbodypreview' tag to show the first paragraph of each post only to show a summary view of your blog.
  2. 'Blog Post Detail' determines how the blog post will be rendered when a visitor to your blog clicks through on the title in the list view to view the whole post in the detailed view.
The main advantage of this is that you can now publish different code in the list and detail layout, thereby customizing the two differently to integrate social media code in the detailed post view. We've also fixed detailed posts so now the post title (instead of the blog title) is shown in the browser title when the visitor clicks through on the post title to view the detailed post.
