Templates and Views

Following templates and views are supported:

Index View

This view will generate a thumnail view of all parents that exist. (So, we advice that you put at least one image in the description field, which the app will pick as the thumbnail. The first occurance of image will be used as thumbnail). If no image is found, the image of its immediate parent will be used. If it is the absolute parent... well, we recommend you put an image. Index page of the app is in the tiled view of the top level blog parents. All the blog parents whose parent is null fall into this category. From this page, one can navigate the section heirarchy (which ultimately ends at a detailed post). This views is facilitated by the section.html template and user may change the layout of the index page by changing the html and css of this template.

Parent Views

Parent views are same as that of index view if the there exist atleast one child of that particular parent, otherwise it will be viewed as stacked view. Non-Leaf parent view is driven by the section.html and will show all the parents node having that particular node as it's parent. Leaf parent view is driven by the teaser.html template and will display all the articles that have their parent as the requested node.

Please note that the image visible in these tiled or stacked views are derived from either parent or blog post itself. Make sure that there is atleast one image in data section of parent and in blog article

Detail View

Blog article is displayed in the detail view and is driven by the detail.html template. These blog article can also be edited by just entring the url {article_url}?edit=True. You can always create buttons out of these as is done in the working demo of this project.
