Why It Matters
Section titled “Why It Matters”For developers: Blog registers the article page type, configurators, feed routes, and render-data Actions as package extension points instead of adding article behavior to core.
For teams: Editorial teams can keep work private as a draft, schedule publication, organize articles with tags, and reuse related content elsewhere on the site.
Evidence: capell.json, src/Filament/Configurators/Articles/ArticlePageConfigurator.php, src/Actions/BuildBlogFeedXmlAction.php, src/Actions/BuildBlogResultsViewDataAction.php, docs/overview.admin.md, docs/screenshots.json, tests/Feature/Filament/Resources/Article/Pages/EditArticleTest.php.

Common Pitfalls
Section titled “Common Pitfalls”- Install
capell-app/layout-builderbefore Blog so its page types and widgets can register against the required editor surface. - Run migrations before opening package resources or public routes.
- Keep public Blade and cached HTML free of authoring markers, model IDs, permissions, signed editor URLs, and lazy database queries.
- Custom write integrations must preserve invalidation for
blogcache tags.
Troubleshooting
Section titled “Troubleshooting”| Symptom | Likely cause | Check | Fix |
|---|---|---|---|
| Package surface is missing after install | Provider or manifest is not loaded | Confirm capell.json, package composer.json, and provider registration |
Reinstall the package, refresh Composer autoload, and clear host caches |
| Admin screen or command fails on missing table | Package migrations have not run | Check the tables listed in Data Model |
Run host migrations and rerun the focused package test |
| Public output leaks unexpected state | Render data, cache variation, or authoring boundary has regressed | Check public Blade, cache tags, and public-output safety tests | Move data loading out of Blade and rerun the package public-output tests |
