%%GLOBAL_BlogTags%%
Now i want to filter all the blog posts which is having blog tags "BG".
how can i filter ? i was searching for so many online source nothing was helps me much
Useful helps will much appreciated.
There isn't a built-in feature that supports filtering by Blog Tag. Neither the templating offers this nor is there a workaround through the API. The Blog Tags resource in the API only offers the ability to list tags and the Blog Post object doesn't expose the blog tags field.
At best, you might be able to parse the posts on the blog home/its pages to offer the filtering, but it may be slow depending on how many pages worth of entries and how many users are attempting to do so.

I don't know if I'm missing something, because I'm new in 2sxc Apps, but I can't find paging option in Blog settings (like it is in the News App).
Does Blog use paging? And if it does - can the number of posts per page be set (and where)?
Thank You all for your help.
welcome to StackOverflow :)
I noticed your question was downrated 2x, but don't take this personally, the people who did this probably didn't realize you're new to StackOverflow.
The blog app uses paging, but the setting for it isn't in the view - it's part of the query which feeds the items to the list view. It's just implemented differently - in the blog it's a number in the query, in the News it's a placeholder in the query, which gets the number from the current module.
BTW: since you're new I'll just explain that if this answered your question, best mark it as answered to help people who find this question in future.
I need some help today.
When we add any blog post to Bigcommerce default blog, do we have any option to assign blog category?
or how we can create a Blog category? I can't see any option for this as well and after contacting Support they haven't been fair to issue and said to ask this in forum.
Actually I want to add refine post by Category in blog page so I need to add category but at the moment it seems i do not have any option to add category.
also I tried it with tags that we add in blog post but there isn't any way to get all the tags list that we added in various posts.
can you guys please help me out for this issue?
Thank you in Advance.
I've created a blog site that (for now) is strictly written in HTML and CSS. On the Home page I'd like to be able to create links to additional blog articles on the Archive page - not just links to the Archive page but to specific blog articles but I'm not sure how to do that. Any help appreciated Thanks.
Archive post title
Use an href as suggested above like so
That Posts Title
Since I don't have server-side software, I think I've figured out a work-around without having to create multiple pages. I will give the title of each blog entry a unique id attribute. Then the links will simply be Title of Entry. I think this should work without having to create a multitude of pages.
I will be providing my users with code generated as links or images to embbed on different websites or on their personal.
Ok so normal generated code would look something like:
<img src=""></img>
And this would work on any website where you can post html or on users personal site.
But what to generate when user would like to post this kind of code generated to forums?
I know there isn't any universal tags for ALL forums for images and links, but what tags are used on most of forums?
I saw tags like:
[URL="foo"][/URL]
[url:foo][/url]
So the question is what to generate when this kind of code would be used to be posted in forums, or to provide users with src and href links and post some kind of tutorial?
According to Wikipedia, BBCode is the most common markup for use in bulletin board/forum software. If I were to choose one to support for this type of app, that is the one I would pick.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BBCode
Having said that, each forum is different, so it would probably be worth your while to a) find out which forum(s) your users most commonly post on, and support those forums' markup formats, and b) make it very clear what type of forum markup they are generating so you aren't helping them violate the posting guidelines of their favorite forum.
I'm looking at things that can distinguish a blog from a normal website. These are things that a program needs to be able identify from the html of a website or particular features that a site supports. For eg. pings. The same for news websites.
I'm working on a blog/news monitor program and it will index sites to automatically determine if it is a blog or a news site and then monitor user feedback in comments etc on posts from sites that it determines to be of a blog or news nature.
So what i'm really after is suggestions on what i can use or look out for in identifying these sites.
It's going to be a desktop app written in java so if you have any code specifics in java that'll be great.
thanks in advance
You can search the page for the word "blog", as this will probably be present. Specifically, you can look for it in parts of the HTML page, or exclude parts - like links. This will give you a decent starting point.
Ultimately, though, this is something that will have to be done manually. You should construct an interface for people to specify if it's a blog or news site, or different features of it, when the site is submitted. Then you should create a database of sites and features, and flag them so that you or another administrator can review them and make changes. Once you do this for a site, you'll never need to do it again, so for example http://*.wordpress.com/ is all going to be blogs.
Some features you can automatically detect or get a pretty good chance of detecting, but ultimately you will need a manual review.
Look for a discoverable RSS or Atom feed, which should be present on a blog or serially-updated news site.
