What it is made of

The parts of the module as you find them in the administration.

Articles

Rich-text body, perex, lead image, publication date. An article can be prepared ahead and go live later.

Categories and tags

Two independent axes. A category is a tree, a tag is a free label.

News

A shorter format for announcements that will not clutter the main blog.

Comments

Discussion under an article with moderation and banned-word checks.

Ratings

Stars or thumbs from readers; the average is recalculated continuously.

The difference

What matters in this module

  • A category address must be unique across the whole siteNot just within the blog. The system checks it on save, so two categories can never compete for the same address.
  • The editor cleans up contentText pasted from Word loses its junk formatting. You decide what survives — from allowed tags to allowed attributes.
  • Comments and ratings are shared modulesThe same component works under an article, a product and a classified ad. Moderated in one place.
