In Aldryn Blog, there are two content fields in each Post which may be confusing:
The Lead-In is text/html only and is intended to be a brief "teaser" or introduction into the blog post. The lead-in is shown in the blog list-views and is presented as the first paragraph (or so) of the blog post itself. It is not intended to be the whole blog post.
To add the body of the blog post, the CMS operator will:
Latest Blog Entries
plugin lets you list n most frequent blog entries filtered by tags.Blog Authors
plugin lists blog authors and the number of posts they have authored.Tags
plugin lists the tags applied to all posts and allows filtering by these tags.If you want the blog posts to be searchable, be sure to install aldryn-search
and its dependencies.
Your posts will be searchable using django-haystack
.
You can turn it this behavior off by setting ALDRYN_BLOG_SEARCH = False
in your django settings.

, you can change the behaviour to display all posts from all languages instead.ALDRYN_BLOG_USE_RAW_ID_FIELDS
