How to create a landing page that can auto populate the latest blog entries from the inbuilt communities blog module?

These blog items should be stored somewhere in the JCR - like everything else in AEM. YOu can look at writing a service that can read them, put them into a collection and them display them  where needed.

Hi smacdonald2008,

Thanks for sharing the solution. I have thought of the same concept to write a web service to get the forum component content feeds to populate on a custom page. I have few queries to that :

• Forums/Blogs components are a part of Community module default templates available. Do i need to create a new template for the custom page?
• Can you please help and share a small GitHub code example that can help me out to read JCR content and setting up of the custom page?

Thanks

Hi Bharat,

Thanks for sharing the solution. Adding component on the landing page will also display the component and i want a clean and impressive landing page similar to :

Where a user can post a blog or forum with some digital asset and that item will display on the landing page in above format with a image + Little description.

Will work on the display part later, first i need to retrieve the Blog/Forum details from JCR and display on the page.

Thanks
