This is a brilliant new stack and a game changer in many ways. If you want to create a blog using RW and edit the blog using RW (in a similar way to the RW Blog) then this is perfect and creates a very slick and current looking blog. Also perfect for many other type of layout.
It was hard for me to visualize how this stack really worked based on text descriptions. But the 13 minute tutorial video was extremely helpful to me. Seems to be a very exciting product!
Please, add more info about tags/dates. Do you have a plan to make an external stack for tagging/dating post from Poster stack? How i can see at demo pages, if i press tag, i can’t select other ones from hidden posts. Just back to full list of posts and select other tag. Same thing with dates of posts. Other reason to have this external stack is ability to place it on sidebar, or other place on page (and may be fix it here). Thank You!
Yes, it is planned to provide such an “external stack” / a stack for retrieving archives of tags and categories, which can be placed inside an sidebar.
I am also thinking of archives for dates, but step by step
Great and happy purchase! Nicely done. Excited also about the features you’ll be adding in the future. I’ll be using this with Foundry for a couple of websites I’m developing this summer. Excited to use it in my new projects!
I don’t think any Stacks page with an amount of 1.000 stacks is viable.
I did a quick test with 100 posts, and both RW Stacks page edit mode handling and live performance on PHP server was very good. Of course generating the content before publishment or preview will take its time (around 5 sec on a 2 year old MacBook Pro) for that amount of content, but also the RW Plugin page takes its time for content generation
Awsome work. Bringing a true blog solution to RapidWeaver Stacks is something I’ve wished for for a long time… and here it is Now with categories and tags – great.
All we need now is RapidWeaver for the iPhone. Kiddin’
I believe theres a lot of sites – there’s a lot of weavers – who don’t need an online solution for a blog, but just want to be able to style within RapidWeaver Stacks – and make it look georgeous.
A blog can be use for so much more than a blog – I’ve used it – by the way – for a restaurant site. Tags were used for ingredients, categories for… well… categories. But this way I could use the blog plugin to make it easy for customers to find dishes with a special kind of ingredients / meet / spices / etc. (tags) or dishes with a different kind of nationalities (categories).
