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.

You could try this: - Edit the Main.Dashboard document in wiki mode - Add this at the start of the content (before the {{velocity line): {{include document="Blog.CategoriesCode"/}} - Add this where you want the blog posts to be displayed: {{html wiki="true"}} #getEntriesForCategory('Blog.News' $entries $total) #displayBlog($entries 'category' true) {{/html}} -- Sergiu Dumitriu http://purl.org/net/sergiu/
