Add aheadworks’s blog list to magento home page or any CMS page
Ever wondering how to add aheadworks’s mangento extenstion– blog list to your home page?
Here’s how to do it.
- Duplicate
app\design\frontend\default\helloseasonal\template\aw_blog\blog.phtml
to
app\design\frontend\default\helloseasonal\template\aw_blog\bloghome.phtml - Edit bloghome.phtml
- Optional: If you want to remove the pagination, remove the following occurrences
<?php echo $this->getChildHtml('aw_blog_comments_toolbar'); ?>
- Optional: If you want to set a a limit to the no of post you want to show in the home page, add
if ($i++ > 5) break;
below foreach…
... <?php foreach ($posts as $post): if ($i++ > 5) break; ?> <div class="postWrapper"> <div class="postTitle">
- Log in to Mangento Admin
- Go to CMS -> Pages and select the home page or the page you want to insert the blog
- Click Content on the side navigation
- At the placement which you want to insert, paste the following codes
{{block type="blog/blog" name="blog" alias="list_blog" template="aw_blog/bloghome.phtml"}}
At the above time of writing, I am using Magento 1.7.0.2 and aheadworks extension 1.2.1.community edition.

how about showing the blog posts from specific categories only?
Just tried if ($i++ > 5) break; but it doesn’t work anymore. 🙁
