Blog and Comment Modules¶
Adding a blog section to your site¶
Adding a blog section of your site is easy with DKAN. Drupal core, and thus DKAN, comes with a “blog” module that can be enabled at ‘/admin/modules’. However we don’t recommend using the default blog module as there are better options available.
Debut Blog¶
The Debut Blog module has a more feature rich blog including better layout and media handling. Debut Blog’s needs only to be installed and doesn’t require extensive configuration.
Create Custom Blog¶
Drupal’s user interface is so powerful that it is possible to create a blog section completely through the user interface. See How to Build a WordPress Blog in Drupal for an example.
Comments¶
Drupal core has a comment module that is included with DKAN.
Enabling comments is as easy as turning on the core Comment module.
Once you have done that new datasets will have a comment box at the bottom.
For already created datasets you will need to click “Comment settings” and “open” for each datasets:
![comments box][comments box]
It is highly recommended to read Drupal’s comment documentation which has some more info on administering and configuring comments.
