Creating our KML vm files
There our two files we'll create one called kml2.vm and the other call kml2-category.vm
Integrate our KML vm files into Blojsom
After creating the two files above, you can then follow my video tutorials on how to integrate then into your Blojsom blog, under Stage 3 and Tips on Blojsom Plugin Settings for KML.
Settings recap notes:
- You add new blojsom templates called: kml2.vm and kml2-category.vm
- You add a new blog flavors: kml2 points to the blog template kml2.vm and kml2-category points to kml2-category.vm
- For the plugin chain mapping - ensure meta is at the head of the chain, and remove conditional-get from the chain
