mojoPortal Tips: Showing a Category-Specific Blog Feed
Last Updated on Sunday, 7 April 2013 11:58 Written by Carole Bennett Wednesday, 10 April 2013 12:00
Recently on the mojoPortal user forums, the question was asked “How can I provide category-specific feeds from my blog?” This can be extremely relevant in the case of providing targeted topics to various areas of your site, or even allowing you to filter feeds to a specific author if you use a shared blog, or have a number of guest contributors. Joe Davis of i7Media offered an easy-to-follow solution – we’ll outline it here today.
There’s two main parts to this; locating the feed URL, and adding it to your Feed Manager instance. First, let’s find that category-specific feed. Navigate to your blog instance, and click the category of the blog you wish to provide as a feed. From the posts page, copy the link URL from the RSS icon. If you don’t see an icon, you may need to go into your blog settings, and activate the feed link.

In our last article, we talked about how to create special customer groups, in order to offer premium pricing for customer loyalty. If you’ve got a lot of products in your nopCommerce-based store, this could become problematic if you’re wanting to provide discounts on many products. It may be better to simply offer discounts on a category basis; however, there’s still the matter of offering the price breaks to your most loyal customers only. Let’s take a look at how we can offer that via nopCommerce.
We’ll use the same special customer group we created in the last article; if you’re coming directly to this article first, I recommend referencing the steps highlighted there.

It’s not unusual to offer special discount pricing to preferred customers; a perfect example is the pricing available to Amazon Prime subscribers. With nopCommerce, it’s easy to set special pricing discounts for your preferred customers, and increase customer loyalty/return business.
Let’s start by creating your Preferred Customer role; log into your nopCommerce instance, and in Admin, hover over “Customers”, and select “Customer Roles”. Click the “Add New” button at the upper right; give your new role a name (I went with “Super Special Customers”), and a system name (no spaces). Click “Save”.
