Description
Requested by Ferry Boender.
It should be as easy as possible to link to different posts on the same blog as possible. The idea here is basically the same as offered by systems such as Request Tracker or Trace, where you can simply say:
"In a previous post ([ # 101 ]), I talked about..."
or
"When we talked about foo in a [ #foo_used_too_much | previous post ]
or something like that.
This can also be used to create a 'Also see...' list of intra-blog posts, where you can show a list of other posts at the bottom of a post with more information on the same topic. (Note that this is NOT the same as categories).
Other than that, it can also be used to create dossiers. Say you've got four posts outlining something like a tutorial on some topic. You could create a dossier and add all the different posts in that dossier. The post author could select a dossier from a dropdown list when writing a story which would automatically create an 'Also see...' list at the bottom of the post:
Also see...
- Part 1 - Customizing the MvBlog looks.
- Part 2 - Using MvBlog plugins.
- Part 3 - Writing your own MvBlog plugin.
A new sidebar box could be added with a list of all the dossiers. RSS feeds for dossiers could be added. Linking to a dossier in a post's body could also come in handy:
"Welcome to part 4 in our ongoing [ #mvblog_tutorial ] series."
(editor note: added some extra spaces to prevetn WikiFormatting to kick in)
