# Blog Manager – Custom Drupal Blog Module
**Blog Manager** is a fully functional Drupal custom module that extends the default blog features provided by Drupal 9 and 10 core. While Drupal core includes a basic Blog content type, this module provides enhanced functionality tailored for real-world editorial workflows.
## 🆚 How This Module Enhances the Core Blog
Drupal 9 and 10 include the "Blog" content type in the standard installation profile, but it is limited in scope. Blog Manager upgrades this by introducing:
- **Custom editorial workflow statuses**: Draft, Ready to Publish, Published, Rejected, Archived
- **Role-based editorial access and permissions**
- **Advanced content scheduling with publish-to dates**
- **File upload restrictions and rich text editing**
- **User management tools for site administrators**
- **Out-of-the-box Views integration for content listings**
## 🎯 Key Features
- Blog content type with:
- Title
- Banner Image (JPG, PNG, GIF under 5MB)
- Rich Text Content
- Post Status (selectable: Draft, Ready to Publish, Published, Rejected, Archived)
- **User Roles**:
- **Admin**:
- Approve / Reject / Archive blog posts
- Set Publish To Date
- Manage editor accounts (create or suspend)
- View all blog posts from all users
- **Editor**:
- Create, edit, and preview blog posts
- Mark posts as "Ready to Publish"
- View only their own blog posts
- **Views**:
- All blog posts (admin)
- Blog posts by author (editor)
- Blog editor user listing
- **Custom Forms**:
- Create Editor Account
- Suspend or Reactivate Editor Accounts
- **Configuration-based Installation**:
- Automatically sets up:
- Content type with fields
- Views
- User roles and permissions
