ps: updated tutorials Installation and Configurations for v4.2.5.

As for the SunBlog module, the installation process is similar with any other standard modules. You can install the packed PA from the "Install New Module" panel.

In new version, the SunBlog module consists of three core modules: SunBlog module, Feature Widget module and Author Widget module. When you have installed it successfully, you will find these three modules in "Module Definitions" panel:

SunBlog_Definitions

They are standalone modules, so can be install separate pages. For example, the feature widget is the standalone featured module, where there are a list of posts flagged as featured for some specific blog.

Okay, before you want to begin the journey of the SunBlog module in DNN, you must login as the admin/host account and configure some basic settings with the following the steps:

1) Create a standard page and insert the core "SunBlog" module into this page from the Control Panel in the top.

2) When the core "SunBlog" module are ready, you will find the link "Manage Blog" in the “SunBlog_Nav” module which is the entrance to administrative panel. You should click it  to enter the the administrative panel.

3) When you enter the administrative interface, you will find the "Manage Blogs" button there as the screenshot above. You should click the "Manage Blogs" to manage your blogs in your website. There you will find "Create Blog" button. You can click to create new blog and assign it to any page which you have installed the SunBlog module.  The manipulation interface will be showed as follows:

when you have filled in related information and click the "Update" button, one new blog will been created with the given page.

4) Right now you need to return [Admin Home] with the right top navigation and you will see the whole interface for the new blog as follows:

Then you maybe want to assign a blog owner for this new blog. To complete this task, you click the [User] option from the above administrative  interface and enter the user manage panel:

assign_user

Now the SunBlog support three different roles, including Blog Owner, Editor and Author. In future we will include more roles( i.e  Contributor, Subscriber) and enhance the permission management. The detail information about those roles as follows:

Blog Owner : Somebody who has access to all the administration features about their own blog.
Editor : Somebody who can do any except that configurable task, i.e he/she can add new category or modify any one's posts or approve other posts.
Author: Somebody who can publish entry without approved and manage their own posts.
Contributor : Somebody who can write and manage their posts but not publish posts due to require moderation.
Subscriber : Somebody who can receive news letters, etc.

Ok, Congratulation! the basic configuration had been completed. The blog owner can do anything what he/she want for his/her blog. :)
