I'd like to customize the dashboard and add
News category items from the
blog. I have tried some examples but none of them seem to work. In the
manuals there are mentions of macros in the blog but I can't seem to find
any reference. What's the easiest way to include blog content in pages
outside the blog? I'm using Xwiki 2.04.
You can try adding this somewhere in Main.Dashboard :
{{velocity}}
#set($sql = ", BaseObject as obj where obj.name=doc.fullName and
obj.className='Blog.BlogPostClass' and
obj.name<>'Blog.BlogPostClassTemplate'
and doc.web='Blog' order by doc.creationDate desc")
#foreach($item in $xwiki.searchDocuments($sql,5,0))
#set($bdoc = $xwiki.getDocument($item))
#set($post = $bdoc.getObject("Blog.BlogPostClass"))
#set($author = $bdoc.creator)
#set($pos = $author.indexOf(":") + 1)
#set($date = $xwiki.formatDate($bdoc.creationDate,"yyyy/MM/dd"))
<div
class="blogPanelAvatar">#useravatar($author.substring($pos))</div>
* *[$bdoc.getValue('title', $post)>$item]* by [$author] on $date
#end
{{/velocity}}
It will list the 5 last articles from your wiki's blog.

Thanks Guillaume,
For some reason that script does not pull in my posts to the News category,
which is what I was interested in. I was envisioning something just like
this dashboard:
