• Conditional Content for Different Page Views

  This macro will output the content provided for a type of page (there are a total of 11 differnet view types supported).
  
  

  Usage:

  ConditionViewType(view condition, "content")
  
  
  View types supported: commentview, dailyview, monthview, yearview, currentmonthview, categoryview, searchresultsview, homepageview, edititemview, loginview, defaultview
  
  
  example: <%ConditionViewType("homepageview", "<strong>Welcome to my blog</strong>")|jforsythe%>
  
  
  

• Works In Progress List

  This macro will show a list of all posts that you have that are not "public". These are probably your blog posts that are Works-in-progress. Admins and contributors will get a list of these items on the "Add Entry" page only. You should put the macro on the homeTemplate.blogtemplate page that your admin view uses, directly under the <%bodytext%> macro for best usability.
  
  

  Usage:

  WorksInProgress()
  
  
  
  example: <%WorksInProgress()|jforsythe%>
  
  
  

• Page View Type String

  This macro works well with breadcrumb scripts. It returns the type of page view your users are using for each page of your dasBlog.
  
  

  Usage:

  PageViewType(Start Padding, End Padding)
  
  
  
  example: <%PageViewType(" > ", ".")|jforsythe%>
  
  
  

• Naked Page Title

  This macro replaces the default <title> macro. It leaves the blog name in the html <title> tag on aggregated views (main page, category, date), but on an item page it removes the blog name leaving just the entry title. This supposedly improves search engine indexing.
  
  

  Usage:

  NakedPageTitle()
  
  
  
  example: <%NakedPageTitle()|jforsythe%>
  
  
  

• Naked Item Title

  This macro replaces the default <itemTitle> macro. It hyperlinks the title on aggregated views (main page, category, date), but on an item page it removes the hyperlink. This supposedly improves search engine indexing.
  
  

  Usage:

  NakedItemTitle()
  
  
  
  example: <%NakedItemTitle()|jforsythe%>
  
  
  

• Get RSS Macro

  This macro will request and (optionally) cache a remote RSS file and output it as an unordered list <ul> with customizable styles. Use this macro to syndicate any blog RSS, recent news items, or even your own dasBlog recent comments/posts/changes; essentially any RSS with a title and description node should work.
  
  Very Important: This macro depends on the skmRSS library ver. 1.9.3 (so the skmRss.dll needs to be in your /bin folder [skmRss.dll is included in jforsytheMacros.zip]).
  
  Note: Enabling caching will create a new folder in your dasBlog/content directory named getrsscache to hold the cached RSS.
  
  

  Usage:

  GetRSS(Rss URL, ID for <ul>, item limit, show titles, link titles, max title characters (0=all), show description, link description, max description characters (0=all), show pub date, show elapsed format, clean HTML, Minutes to Cache Items (0=no cache), debug mode) and getRss.css support styles
  
  
  
  example: <%GetRSS("http://feeds.feedburner.com/jforsytheprojects", "JF_proj_recent", 5, true, true, 0, false, false, 0, true, true, true, 1500, false)|jforsythe%>
  
  
  

• Recent Comments Macro

  This macro builds a 'Recent Comments' div block with list elements for each recent comment. This version shows all comments for admin users and only comments not marked as spam for visitors. Comments marked as spam and held in system for review are marked as red. This is based on voidclass RecentComments macro and needs dasblog 1.9 with AKISMET support.
  
  

  Usage:

  RecentComments(visitor count, admin count, title trim, text trim, author trim, show text) and recentcomments.css support styles
  
  
  
  example: <%RecentComments(5, 30, 20, 0, 12, false)|jforsythe%>
  
  
  

• Google Site Search Macro

  This macro builds a Google site search with the same elements as the DasBlog search widget (so your stylesheets don't need to be changed). You must set your domain and the number of items to return with the search.
  
  

  Usage:

  GoogleSiteSearch("domain", num_of_results_per_page)
  
  
  
  example: <%GoogleSiteSearch("dasblog.us", 20)|jforsythe%>
  
  
  

• FeedBurner FeedFlare Macro

  This macro adds FeedFlare support in Item View only for the current version of dasblog.
  
  

  Usage:

  FeedBurnerFlareSingle("FeedburnerUsername")
  
  
  
  example: <%FeedBurnerFlareSingle("feedburnername")|jforsythe%>
  
  
  

• FeedBurner FeedFlare for 1.8 Macro

  This macro adds FeedFlare support in v1.8 of dasblog.
  
  

  Usage:

  FeedBurnerFlareSingle_onepointeight("FeedburnerUsername")
  
  
  
  example: <%FeedBurnerFlareSingle_onepointeight( "feedburnername")|jforsythe%>

• Show String on Item View only Macro

  This macro includes passed "content" on any page which is an item view.
  
  

  Usage:

  StringOnItemView("content")
  
  
  
  example: <%StringOnItemView("<b>this is an item only view</b>")|jforsythe%>

• Show String on Non-Item View only Macro

  This macro includes passed "content" on any page which is a non-item view.
  
  

  Usage:

  StringOnNonItemView("content")
  
  
  
  example: <%StringOnItemView("<b>this is an aggregated view</b>")|jforsythe%>
