What This Plugin Adds

Blog is an Available, Schema-owning Capell package in the Capell Publishing product group. It ships as capell-app/blog and extends these surfaces: admin, frontend, console.

Blog adds article publishing, archive and tag page types, related-article widgets, and RSS, Atom, and XML feed routes to Capell.

Editors draft, schedule, tag, and publish articles from ArticleResource. Visitors can browse published article, archive, and tag pages or subscribe to a feed.

Status details:

Status: Available
Tier: free
Bundle: publishing
Composer package: capell-app/blog
Namespace: Capell\Blog
Theme key: not applicable

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.

Screens And Workflow

Screenshot contract: docs/screenshots.json.

Articles admin index (admin, required evidence).
Create/edit article form (admin, required evidence).
Blog page frontend output (frontend, required evidence).

Migration impact: run host migrations through the package install flow before opening package surfaces.
Deletion/retention behaviour: migrations declare cascade-on-delete relationships; no timed pruning or retention schedule is declared in capell.json.

Admin navigation: declares admin-resource: BlogAdminResourcesContribution; each Filament page or resource controls its own navigation visibility.
Admin/editor extensions: configurator: BlogConfiguratorsContribution.
Permissions: ViewAny:Article, View:Article, Create:Article, Update:Article, Delete:Article, DeleteAny:Article, Restore:Article, RestoreAny:Article, ForceDelete:Article, ForceDeleteAny:Article, Replicate:Article, Reorder:Article, ViewAny:Tag, View:Tag, Create:Tag, Update:Tag, Delete:Tag, DeleteAny:Tag, Restore:Tag, RestoreAny:Tag, ForceDelete:Tag, ForceDeleteAny:Tag, Replicate:Tag, Reorder:Tag; permission contributions: Capell\Blog\Manifest\BlogPermissionsContribution; Shield-generated widget permissions for Capell\Blog\Filament\Widgets\ListArticlesFilamentWidget (names and grants depend on host Shield configuration); access also governed by package policies: ArticlePolicy.
Public routes: registers BlogRoutesContribution.
Database changes: package migrations are declared.
Config: no package config files.
Settings: no package settings declared.
Queues or schedules: none declared.
Cache tags: blog.
Commands: capell:blog-demo, capell:blog-install, capell:blog-setup.

Common Pitfalls

Install capell-app/layout-builder before 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 blog cache tags.

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

Quick Start

Install the package: composer require capell-app/blog.
Run the package setup: php artisan capell:blog-install.
See it working: run php artisan capell:blog-demo.
Open the package admin surface at /admin/blog/article and confirm Blog is available.
