About the Developer

Blog - Community Edition by aheadWorks 142 142Hi, I found an issue at the backend in comment page when i try to sort table out by 'status' a:5:{i:0;s:98:"SQLSTATE[23000]: Integrity constraint violation: 1052 Column 'status' in where clause is ambiguous";i:1;s:5633:"#0 /home/clifton/public_html/lib/Varien/Db/Statement/Pdo/Mysql.php(110): Zend_Db_Statement_Pdo->_execute(Array) September 27, 2012Module looks good, but "Enable Categories Menu" does absolutely nothing. I am using v1.7.0.2, custom theme, and have copied all template related files to my theme. Still no go. Blog link appear in Top Links if I enable it, but nothing in the categories. Any ideas? Thanks, Michael. September 25, 2012Help. Everything is installed. When I press my blog link on the frontend, the URL is www.mysite.com/index.php/blog. When this happens, my blog doesn't show up and Magento says there is an error processing your request. When I manually type in the identifier, www.mysite.com/index.php/blog/identifier, the blog appears. Here is the problem. Clicking on the blog menu item doesn't place the identifier in the URL. I have to manually place the identifier in the URL. In the blog settings, assigning an identifier is required, so I have to create some identifier name. It is as if the program is not adding the identifier name to the URL, which results in it not working because the URL reads www.mysite.com/index.php/blog. It doesn't read www.mysite.com/index.php/blog/identifier. Why is it not automatically adding the identifier to the URL when I press the link on the front end?????? Please help. August 28, 2012Love the extension, guys, thanks! I'd like to remove the "Read More" button on each blog post. How do I do that? Also, I have multiple blog categories, how do I hide one of them from showing up on the primary blog page? Thanks in advance. August 15, 2012Very good extension. Thanks for your good work! July 5, 2012Thank you for sharing this extension. It works fine. However it will be great if you can add the social network. July 2, 2012My Magento Version is 1.5.1.0 and I have this error message No date part in '' found. June 22, 2012Blog v.1.1.1 compatible with Magento v.1.7 has been released. Besides, the new version contains some bugfixes. If you would like to get the updated extension, download it right now. June 18, 2012To get the extension NOT to show BLANK PAGE on 1.6, just copy the 2 "aw_blog" folders from default/default to YOURTHEME/default in skin and app/design and the xml file in layouts, then clear ALL the cache. June 6, 2012This is a great extension and works beautifully. A quick question: How can I change the meta title structure because I want to remove the default "-"? I sincerely hope someone can help me or tell me the path. Thanks in advance! =) June 6, 2012- Q&A

Avatar Image Url:: http://www.magentocommerce.com/images/avatars/uploads/avatar_66717Answer:Hello,
our Blog extension does not by default feature any toolset for importing blog articles from some external sources.
It may be possible to do such import within our customization service, so I suggest that you contact our support team - we will check if we can offer any solution.

After using it for a bit I have changed my mind about having a blog built into my store. I uninstalled the plugin through the magento-connect menu, but for some reason the blog link in the top-link header remains. Why wasn't this removed along with the extension. BTW I'm using a custom theme not a default one, so I had to copy the folders and xml file into my theme folders.

Avatar Image Url:: http://www.magentocommerce.com/images/avatars/uploads/avatar_66717Answer:Hello,
first of all, we would suggest that you check your header CMS block - in case you had inserted the Blog link manually, uninstalling the module would not have removed the link.
If it is not the case, then we can assume that the uninstall wasn't completely successful. Our techs could assist you with clarifying the matter, so feel free to contact our support service.
Thank you.byaheadWorks-1 month agoAvatar Image Url:: http://www.magentocommerce.com/images/avatars/uploads/avatar_26207347I have the plugin working fine on a blog specific page, but would like to bring either a specific category or possibly flagged posts and have them displayed on the home page which is generated via CMS > PAGES.byjaypeg-1 month agoAnswers
Avatar Image Url:: http://www.magentocommerce.com/images/avatars/uploads/avatar_66717Answer:Hello,
the default version of the extension does allow to show a number of posts in non-blog areas of your store, however, this functionality is limited to the latest posts only. ( a special "Latest Posts" widget is added by the extension )
If you need some section to show the manually-specified set of posts, customization will be required.
Thank you.byaheadWorks-1 month agoAvatar Image Url:: http://www.magentocommerce.com/images/avatars/uploads/avatar_26900078Hi,
I want to show dropdown containing the heading & link of the latest two blogs,when we hover on blog (in navigation bar)?byshivamsinghal-4 weeks agoAnswers
Avatar Image Url:: http://www.magentocommerce.com/images/avatars/uploads/avatar_66717Answer:Hello,
unfortunately, the default version of the Blog extension does not offer such a feature.
Although the extension does include Latest Posts widget, it is designed to be placed in the content area.
However, since the extension is open-source, you can probably add such dropdown via customization, and use the Latest Posts widget as a basis.
Thank you.byaheadWorks-3 weeks, 2 days agoAvatar Image Url:: http://www.magentocommerce.com/images/avatars/uploads/avatar_25909841Hi,

Avatar Image Url:: http://www.magentocommerce.com/images/avatars/uploads/avatar_66717Answer:Hello Santanu,
first of all, we would suggest that you try re-installing the extension (do not forget to flush the store cache after the installation).
If it does not help, we recommend that you check the special thread at our Forum.
Please, note that we do not support the Community Edition extension free of charge, so if you would like our technical team to investigate the problem for you, you will need to pay for the support package.
