Blog Post Meta Data via Post Summary ViewsSunday, March 16, 2008
The Zoundry Raven application is based on a typical three pane view, with the bottom right view showing the summary of the current selection. For example, if the current selection is a blog post, then the post summary is displayed in the lower right pane. This pane exposes an extension point allowing one to contribute a view to it. ZM has created 4 extension point contributions to this, resulting in four difference 'views' of the post data. The default is the standard Post Preview view.
On the top right of the Blog Post Summary, you will find a small 16x16 "window" icon. When you right click on this icon button, the context menu displays all of the available contributions (or views in this case). The available views are - Post Preview, General Properties, Links (links found in the post), and Media (images referenced in the post). General Properties This view shows general properties about the post, such as the post title, date-time, and internal entry-id. If this post is published to multiple blogs, then the list of blogs is also shown in this summary view.
Links This view displays all the links referenced within the post. You can right click on each link for other options.
Media This view lists all of the image src URLs referenced in your post. Right click on the image URLs for options.
