Hello, I'm back with
WonderCMS 3.x and it feels good. This time I took a closer look at the blog plugin.
You know - I am
not a programmer - I am a freak, a
tinkerer, a SEO enthusiast from the first hour.
So I wanted to find out if I can bring the plugin to a score of 100% in
Google Lighthouse. And it really works! Ok, the code is not quite clean, the css is not (yet) clean either.
Test installation, link to Google Lighthouse in the footer:

Productive version for a new small project:

I look forward to more exciting plugins and themes.
Thank you all for your work.
Many greetings, Heinz
Btw.
wiz, thank you for your message. You see - I'm back. You know why? Because I
never give up!

Hello
otismo
Thank you for your inquiry. Unfortunately I don't have a plugin for it - the changes are hard coded and apply to WonderCMS 3.0.6 and Simple Blog 3.0.5.
I just wanted to prove that you can build WonderCMS websites that score "
100" in all relevant disciplines in
Google Lighthouse. And I succeeded with the productive version.
Greetings, Heinz

I start to test a latest WonderCMS (3.1.4) and I installed the Simple Blog plugin. Everything is working ok. Thank you!
I have a suggestions to this plugin.
1. It would be very nice to implement a categories. It's very useful to helping the readers to quickly find the article they want. I know it from my own experience. Nothing is better than the categories or/and tags. So, imo, it's a "must have".
2. There is the problem with the "og:url" tag generated by this plugin. It's stricly pointing the hompage of entire service instead of the single article in the blog. Eg: "
www.somewebsite.com" instead of the "
www.somewebsite.com/blog/blog-article". The Facebook Sharing Debugger indicates it as the incorrect.
3. This plugin has no support. It would be nice to add the information to the plugin description - how to find any necessary code to adapt/localize it to other language. I did translation by myself, but there may be some people who may have some difficulties to do it.

I found something to change (improve) in the plugin.
On
line 50 of
it would be worth changing
to
Blog Cards at lower screen resolutions become unpleasantly narrow. What do you think?

@ c0mp0ser
I haven't investigated your suggestion for a change in the max-width but it sounds reasonable...
@ StephanStanisic
I installed the Blog plugin immediately after installing WonderCMS. I'm a competent HTML coder so didn't feel the need for a WYSIWYG editor. I abandoned it as no edits to a published blog post could be made (A Save action appeared to take place but was lost in the process) nor could any post be deleted. I uninstalled the plugin!
Then, while exploring the WonderCMS demo (where both the Blog and Summernote Editor are installed) I found edits and deletion of posts could be made.
So I installed the Summernote editor and reinstalled the Blog plugin. I discovered that "uninstalling" the plugin merely unlinks it from the WonderCMS installation as my three test posts immediately reappeared but, more importantly, I could now my edit and delete Blog posts.
In summary:
The documentation should record that the Summernote Editor is required for the Blog Plugin to work!

I do have a feature request too!
Is it possible to make the date of a post editable. I am considering migrating a blog to WonderCMS and have around 300 posts going back eight years to transfer.
I suppose that as a temporary fix I could comment out the line
in new.php and add an editable area in which I can place the date. As you'll gather my PHP skills are extremely limited!

Hi NorfolkGreg.
There's an updated version of the blog plugin, which should successfully delete blog posts and also enable you to use it without summernote.
- We can implement this feature in the future, for the time being you can also edit the blog database manually.
Hope this helps, any feedback is appreciated.
