Is it possible for members to download their own personal blog content from the platform?
Hello Su Crabtree - There is not a feature which allows members to download their blog content. Currently, the only option for a member to export their own data is when a site has the Export User Data feature enabled. This feature will do a complete download of all the member's data, it can not be limited to their blogs.
While not accessible to members, we do have have REST, In-process, and script APIs to list Blog Posts, along with many other things. You would then need to handle ensuring files, etc get copied over as well, including attachments, post images, and embedded files.
Brilliant, thank you so much for this Tom
Su Crabtree Depending on the end result of what the members want to achieve, you can also try using a search query and related RSS or possibly the blog RSS feed. A few examples of this:
For instance, if I wanted to see all of Tom's content in this community, I can search https://community.telligent.com/search?q=*#serpauthor=173480 and there's an RSS button available to generate the RSS query: https://community.telligent.com/searchrss?q=%2A&users=173480. It can be difficult for a user to locate that member ID, but I believe there are ways to expose it and/or you can generate it in a widget/button using maybe core_v2_urls Script API like:
$core_v2_urls.Search("%{ QueryString = 'q=*#serpauthor=$user.Id'}"
