how can we add an custom field in the Blog module for the sitefinity 3.6 version.
When i was viewing the Post details in the blogs module at the right hand side there is a FAQ section for Blog and in that we have FAQ as below,

Can I add a custom field, for example excerpt?
Yes. See details.
but when i click on the link see details its redirect me to the 3.2 version FAQ details, with below information
Can I add a custom field, for example excerpt?
Yes. Open the application web.config and in the <metaFields> collection, add this:
<add key="Blogs.Excerpt" valueType="ShortText" visible="True" searchable="True" sortable="True" defaultValue=""/>
Then, find this folder ~/YourProject/Sitefinity/Admin/ControlTemplates/Blogs and ControlPanelEdit.ascx and ControlPanelInsert.ascx files.
In <ItemTemplate> section, add this:
<asp:Label ID="Label8" AssociatedControlID="Excerpt" Text="Excerpt" runat="server"></asp:Label>
<asp:TextBox ID="Excerpt" Text="" runat="server"></asp:TextBox>
but in the sitefinity 3.6, i am not able to find the specified file controlPanelEdit.ascx for the Blog module.
can you please guide me how can i integrate custom fields in blog module for sitefinity 3.6

Hello Shekar,

You should map external templates

www.sitefinity.com/.../how-to-map-a-view-to-an-external-template-in-sitefinity-3-6-or-later.aspx

and then follow Adding custom fields section from our User Manual

All the best,
