The MultipageBlog processor shows one or more blog entries, as either a page in the wiki or a standalone page. The contents of the block are the configuration for the blog.

Processor arguments:

• prefix=<page_prefix> - a string indicating the prefix for the set of pages that make up the blog
• title - blog title
• sidebar=<sidebar_page_name> - the name of the wiki page which has the sidebar definition
• entries_to_show=x - number of entries to show (default is 5), can be 'all'
• show_standalone=1 - show page without wiki decorations
• show_edit_link=1 - show a link to edit the entry
• background_image - filename of background image
• show_entries_list=1 - show a list of entries, rather than the blog itself

• blog_block=<block_name>

Usage examples:

Example:

{{{#!MultipageBlog:spaceblog
prefix=Space_Blog_
title=Tim's Space Blog
sidebar=Sidebar_Spaceblog
background_image=flames.jpg
show_standalone=1
}} }

This will show the blog on it's own page, with a flames background, using pages starting with the string "Space_Blog", and with a sidebar defined on page Sidebar_Spaceblog.

Example:

{{{#!MultipageBlog
blog_block=spaceblog
show_entries_list=1
}} }

This will show the list of blog entries, on it's own page, using entries and format as specified in the 'spaceblog' block. This can be put into a sidebar page, or on it's own page.

---

Example:

{{{#!MultipageBlog
prefix=Space_Blog_
title=Tim's Space Blog
entries_to_show=5
}} }

This will show a list of up to 5 entries from the space blog. Each entry has the name and date of the blog entry, and a link to that entry.
