##How to remove the postform for my blog from front page?
I have an inline to create a blog on the front page of my site. I don't want any visitors to see that form nor attempt to click "Edit" on it. I tried setting postform="no" but I did not notice any change.
Any suggestions on how I can have a private webpage that offers the blog post form ("Add a new post titled:") and also turn off that form from my front page but still keep the blog articles displayed from the front page?
I looked at the "inline" docs but may have overlooked this.
I do see I can disable the editpage plugin to remove from front page. But then that made it so I can't add a new blog posting (I want to just not from the front page).
> You need two separate inlines, one on your front page which can be as simple as `\[[!inline pages="blog/*"]]`, and another on a hidden/unadvertised page, which has `postform=yes` added, that you will use to add posts. Removing the 'Edit' link from the front page (and all other pages — presumably you don't want it on blog post pages either) can be achieved in a number of ways. I do it by removing it from my `page.tmpl` file (point `templatedir` in your setup file to a directory under your control; copy `/usr/share/ikiwiki/templates/page.tmpl` into it, and remember that every time ikiwiki is upgraded, potentially the file has changed, and you might need to merge in the changes). A better way might be to hide the link via CSS (`.actions { display: none; }`). You can't add pages via the web interface if you remove [[plugins/editpage]] from your setup. You should look at [[plugins/lockedit]] to make sure that only you can edit pages/submit blog posts, should anyone else stumble across your unadvertised "submit blog post" page. — [[Jon]]
