Navigate from Blogpost to Parent-Blog

Hi,

i wonder wether there is any possibility to navigate from a blog-post "up" (or "back") to the blog that initially contained the post. we already enabled the "previous" and "next" links and those work fine. Since the post obviously knows where it is located, shouldn't it be possible to navigate back to the blog that contained it? Or am I missing something here?

thanks in advance for your help!

Re: Navigate from Blogpost to Parent-Blog

If the blog page is a top level pege then it always shows in the menu so it is easy to get back to the blog page.

If the blog is not a root level page you can enable bread crumbs on the blog page, or if you have a vertical menu for non root level pages you can add this in user.config

<add key="Blog:BlogViewSuppressPageMenu" value="false" />

but the vertical menu will take up some page real estate.

Or you could manually create a link in the Extra Side bar content.

I usually make the blog a root level page myself.

Hope that helps,

Joe

thanks for the quick reply! we decided to activate the sidebar for the blog view and live with less space. that solves that for us.
