Include latest blog post into a page

Question

Hello Community :)

I am looking for a way to slide the latest blog posts on a page. I am using the 'Content Slider' Macro for the slide effect. This contains several 'Content Slider Entry' Macros. In each macro you can place the objects for the slider. The 'Include Page' macro nested inside works fine, also with blog posts. Now I want to not slide specific blog posts, but the latest ones from different spaces.

This is for a big screen in a central place where news should be displayed without user interaction.

Any idea how to do this? I am not good in coding, this is why I am trying to use the apps that I have :)  Thanks for any advice

Hi @Jan

I think what you are looking for is best achieved via an add-on (app). We have blog post sliders, but that is via the RefinedTheme application. The native Confluence Blog Post macro didn't present content the way we wanted.

I'm sure there is probably a way to achieve what you want without additional applications, but probably nothing quite as convenient as an add-on

Hi @Jan

we are using Lively Blog Post  https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1213057/lively-blogs-for-confluence?hosting=server&tab=overview - you van easily limit shown Blog Post and sort them by different filters.

Hi Jan!
You could use the blog post macro and limit to a specific time that you want to show, for example only the ones created the last 48h.
Hope this helps :)
