I'd like to work on some enhancements for the front page, mainly the
ability for the roller admin to manually select stories to appear in it. Has
anyone done anything similar? It would be great if I could get a head start
on this.
That sounds very useful. I haven't done anything along those lines, except
for the "pinned to main" feature that allows you to "pin" and entry to the
top of the front page.
Are you talking about the normal front-page aggregation (of blogs from your
site) or the Roller Planet aggregation (of blogs from your site + external
feeds)?
The first for now. We are using roller as a publishing platform to an
informational site and want the frontpage template to define some
placeholders, offering the admin the ability to pin (or schedule for
pin) specific blog posts there. We are after a traditional "news portal"
front page. I'd be happy if the code was then considered for the trunk
as well, perhaps as an additional build-in template.
I just started reading on the vm template material but i think it only
covers stuff for given blog. Perhaps you could give me the big picture
on what I need to do and point me to the right direction?
