Behold the new blogging template name
Friday, September 29th, 2006
The blog template included in Domino 7.0.2 takes on the title of "IBM Blog". You can find it in 7.0.2 by clicking on the "Show advanced templates" option in the create new database dialog.

IBM Blog Template
The template has also undergone the so-called blue-wash:

funny that. I did a clean install (actually formated my whole PC and did a 7.0.2 install) and the ibmblog.nsf is nowhere to be seen (it is called ibmblog.nsf isn't it?).

When I create a new DB and select the advanced templates I still do not get the blog template - you have any idea where I could find it?

PS: in the documentation there is talk of an "innovation pack" - I have installed everything that there is to install from the designer package! Maybe it's only included in the normal Client install?

Ursus,

The blog template is on the Domino server

thanks Bruce - found it ;o)

I aqsumed from your screen shots that it was part of the client (as your server is set to local) but found it last night after I installed the server.

@Ursus,

Note that the template server is blanked out .

I find the fact that some templates are installed only on the server to be quite annoying. If I install the All Clients package and select both the admin and designer as well as the regular client, I would expect to have everything I need available on local.

But maybe that's just me.

@Richard+@kevin: Did you submit that request to IBM by opening a PMR? This is the only official way IBM will hear you.

@Christian - I haven't submitted anything, but it's not a huge deal anyway. You can use policies to push down local replicas, and I would rather do that for a select "designer group" and have more control. There are also a LOT of templates that have no purpose on the client, such as the Administration Process and Monitoring dbs, which only get created once when a server is set up, and in any case only do anything useful on a server.

@Christian: I also haven't entered a PMR. I use the wish list process in the BP Forum database, and I talk directly to developers.
