How to get mezzanine sidebar to autopopulate for blogposts

I have a blog running mezzanine and I can't get the right side bar to auto populate after a blog post with the information about the blog post, like author, tags, etc. The only way I can get it to show at all it to manually edit the base.html file and add a widget for each field. Isn't there a way to automate this?

Thanks again.

Solution

  • By default, mezzanine includes something similar to what you're asking, the filter_panel.html template. This is the template the blog app uses. In whatever template you're using, include this template in the right_panel block, eg:

    {% block right_panel %}
{% include "blog/includes/filter_panel.html" %}
{% endblock %}

    If you're just using base.html, you can override the right_panel block by replacing it with just the above includes tag.

    Hope that helps!
