customize the name and content of the Blogroll in dasBlog 2.0
posted by: Martin

I wanted to add some additional Blogrolls on the home page of our blog and I wanted to be able to name them whatever I wanted. After poking around I found that you can edit this file here:

dasblogce\themes\your_theme\homeTemplate.blogtemplate

All I had to do was this.

  • log in to our blog
  • under Blogroll, create a new OPML file (called "martin" in my case)
  • add an entry to this new file
  • in the homeTemplate.blogtemplate file in our theme I added this code:
<div class="sidetitle">
  Blogroll - Martin</div>    
<div class="side">
  <%radio.macros.blogroll ("siteConfig/martin.opml")%> </div>
  • save the file

Now, when I refresh my blog home page I can see my Blogroll on the side. In my case I also commented out the original Blogroll entry to hide that.
