Description (Last modified by timh) 

The blog widget is quite narrow, making the posts quite hard to read, as well as rather long.

Example here:
http://ubuntero.org/news/profile/

Even here, where posts are made by multiple members on behalf of the account, the same icon is shown, and little info is gained on the left side of the widget.

What about dropping the use of run("weblogs:posts:view", $post); from the weblog widget???

We could simply render out the blog post without the user icon taking up so much room on the left, perhaps put it inline at the top of the blog entry...

Any objections to dropping the use of run("weblogs:posts:view", $post) from the way weblog widget is rendered?

The attached patch renders out a simplified view of the blog on a widget. The problem with the current method is that the CSS styling from the full page blog view doesn't suit a widget.

Replying to timh:

One of the benefits of having the keywords is being able to reuse content in an easy way. I would not be in favour of having duplicate code generating more or less the same output. Isn't it possible e.g. to let the widget override the default css for displaying weblog entries?

  • status changed from assigned to closed.
  • type changed from defect to enhancement.
  • resolution changed from None to fixed.

I'm committing a better approach to this then to include an inline style override (by loading a widget_css file) that can be used to control how the blog widget appears.
