Configuration

The plugin makes use of two CMS Elements which are part of two different CMS Layouts. During the plugin installation those two CMS pages will be created for you:

• Blog Listing Page which contains a Blog Detail element
• Blog Detail Page which contains a Blog Listing element

Within the plugin configuration the Blog Detail Page ID is assigned, so Shopware knows which CMS Page to use for the detail page.

Menu entry

You need to create a new category within your category tree and assign the Blog Listing CMS Page.

After this you will see all blog articles within your menu/category entry in the storefront.

CMS Listing Element

Currently you can only set the number of posts showing per page for the pagination.
