Hello!

I installed the blog module.
The installation create an example blog with the following text:
----------------------------
Congratulations, the SilverStripe blog module has been successfully installed. This blog entry can be safely deleted. You can configure aspects of your blog (such as the widgets displayed in the sidebar) in [ url=admin ]the CMS[ /url ].
(Note: I put the spaces in [ url=admin ]the CMS[ /url ], because here it appears as a link)
----------------------------
When you see the text in the frontend, the link 'the CMS' is not show as a link, show [ url=admin ]the CMS[ /url ].

Why is this?
Do I have to connect something or install something else?

Thanks,
Regards,
Jose A.

[command] is bbcode which the blog module supports but sounds like you have WYSIWYG enabled rather than BBCode.

Hello Will,

I downloaded the blog module from https://github.com/silverstripe/silverstripe-blog

In my _config.php I don`t have BlogEntry::allow_wysiwyg_editing();
so should work with BBCode.

The only way I found to make it work with BBCode is adding this line to my _config.php
BlogEntry::$allow_wysiwyg_editing = false;

But should work by default with BBCode.
Is this correct?

Do I have to add that line to my _config.php?

Thanks,
Regards,

Jose A.

You can only use one of WYSIWYG or BBCode, not both. By default WYSIWYG is the enabled option (https://github.com/silverstripe/silverstripe-blog/blob/master/code/BlogEntry.php#L43) so yes, if you want to use BBCode you'll have to keep that line in your _config file.

Ok.
Will thank you very much.

Jose A.
