Custom ListPart (ContentPart) for custom Feeds

[yash1529]

I want to create a ContentPart similar to ListPart, but with a key difference: instead of creating new content items, it should list existing content items of the selected ContentType.

For example, consider a Blog content type with a ListPart that is configured to include BlogPost. Currently, it only displays BlogPosts that have been manually created within the Blog. Instead, my custom ContentPart should automatically list all existing BlogPosts, regardless of where they were created.

I have shared some screenshots for reference.

However, if I create a BlogPost directly from the BlogPost content type, it will not be displayed under Blogs (as indicated by the red mark).

I don't want to achieve this using Workflows because, if I update the fields of BlogPost in the future, I would need to update the workflows and rerun them again.

Could you please guide me on the best approach to creating a custom ListPart as a feature?

Thanks

AFAIK BlogPost content type is not createable, it should be created from within the Blog content type. Could you please elaborate on what use case required you to do that?

@hishamco via ISession i am able to expose all my blogPosts. Thanks alot but I also want to render it at the UI Part i.e it displays all myBlogPosts in my Blogs

The question is, if you add a BlogPost from the content items, where should it go?

TBH it doesn't make sense to me

All BlogPosts and Articles created from ContentItems should be rendered in The Blogs according to their respective feed types.

I have tons of BlogPosts and Articles that I want to render as feeds without creating duplicate BlogPosts or Articles.

Again, the Blog is a container for blog posts, I think some misunderstood here, please ping me in Discord it's much better to chat
