This page is the consolidated implementation overview for the Blog package. It is extracted from the package README, service providers, migrations, config files, routes, resources, models, actions, and the shared Capell ERD notes where available.

What This Package Adds

Blog adds article publishing, archive pages, tag pages, article blocks, Site Discovery sitemap contributions, and frontend Livewire page components to Capell.

• Article Filament resource.
• Blog, archive, and tag frontend Livewire components.
• Article blocks and configurators for layout builder.
• Site Discovery sitemap contributions for articles, archives, and tags.
• Commands to install and create blog pages.

Developer Notes

Builds on core pages, layouts, translations, page URLs, core layout builder blocks, and tags while keeping article-specific logic in actions and loaders.

• BlogServiceProvider, AdminServiceProvider, ConsoleServiceProvider, and FrontendServiceProvider register package surfaces.
• Migration creates articles.
• Model: Article.
• Filament resource: ArticleResource.
• Livewire pages: Blog, Archive, Tag.
• Listeners sync navigation and translation changes.

Operational Notes

Gives editors a dedicated article workflow that still fits the same structured publishing foundation as pages.

• Adds articles table and article admin resource.
• Adds blog frontend components and Site Discovery sitemap contributions.
• Adds console commands for setup, install, demo, faker, and page creation.
• May add blog pages to navigation through listener behaviour.

Data And Retention

• articles stores uuid, workspace, type, layout, site, meta, visible_from, and visible_until.
• Articles connect to sites, types, layouts, page URLs, translations, core layout builder block assets, and tags.
• Blog uses the layout builder APIs provided by the admin/frontend core packages.
• Deletion and retention behaviour should be verified against the host application policy.

Screenshot Plan

• Articles admin index.
• Create/edit article form.
• Blog dashboard widgets.
• Blog page frontend output.
• Archive page frontend output.
• Tag page frontend output.
• Article and tag block frontend output.

Screenshots

The frontend screenshots need seeded blog pages and articles before they are useful. Keep them in the manifest, but do not use the current blank captures as documentation assets.

Pitfalls

• Run the package setup before expecting archive/tag pages.
• Check layouts before creating article records.
• Cache and Site Discovery sitemap output may need regeneration after setup.

Verification

• Run vendor/bin/pest packages/blog/tests when package tests exist.
• Run the relevant host-app migration or package install flow in a disposable database.
• Open the listed admin or frontend surface and compare it with the screenshot plan.
