I'm having trouble adding a Blog Entry to an edition. Whenever I try to add it in the Headlines section of the edition edit screen, the blog entry never appears in the box - although it is published. However, when I add a blog entry as a Story, I can select a channel and pick the workflow as "public." How do I add a blog entry to the front page?

Hi,

By blog entry, I think you mean a node of type Blog rather than Story.

Hmmm... the way ProsePoint is setup, only Story nodes are configured to be selectable in editions, have workflow etc.

If you want to use Blog nodes, you'd have to tinker with ProsePoint's configuration. More specifically, some views and some workflow settings need to be changed.

However, these are ... somewhat advanced ... settings, so you might want to read about

http://drupal.org/project/views

and

http://drupal.org/project/workflow

first before trying anything. Just in case things break.

So, I could create a view that lists blog entries, then position that block via Prosepoint?

Yes, that would work. It's one way of working around it.
