List of blog posts
Design and Skin Customization
Hi Joanna, no question is silly, ask away.
Sure it is possible, there is very little that isn't possible, but there are often many ways to do the same thing which can be quite confusing at first.
You're wanting a list of something, so you're probably interested in either a template function to do that: {jrCore_list}
Docs: "{jrCore_list}"
https://www.jamroom.net/the-jamroom-network/documentation/jamroom-developers-guide/89/jrcore-list
OR an interface way to access that, which is the "Site Builder" "Item List" widget.
Docs: Site Builder -> Table of Contents
https://www.jamroom.net/the-jamroom-network/documentation/site-builder
Docs: " Site Builder ยป Adding a new Widget : Widget: Item List"
https://www.jamroom.net/the-jamroom-network/documentation/site-builder/2647/adding-a-new-widget#widget-item-list
Either of those will give you a list of blog posts. Since you're wanting to adjust the structure of what gets output by the results of the list, then you're wanting a custom template.
You can add a custom template to either of the methods above, by adding a template="some-template.tpl" addition to the request.
Here's the easiest way to do it for you I'm guessing:
WIDGET: Item list
LIST MODULE: blog
TEMPLATE: custom
Click the "click to load default template" link beneath "Custom Template". That will load the default version of the list template. Then scroll down until you find line 41 which reads:
{$item.blog_text|jrBlog_readmore|jrCore_format_string:$item.profile_quota_id}delete that and click SAVE CHANGES.
Deleting that line will only effect this specific widget. All you're doing is deleting the body of the blog from being displayed in this list and keeping everything else the same.
You can open up that widget again and fiddle with the layout until you get it exactly as you like it.
