User blog index pages need pagination so visitors can browse a user blog history without loading every entry at once.

The blog feature has since been rebuilt. This issue tracks the completed public user blog index pagination behavior.

Scope

  • Public user blog index pages, such as /blog/{username}.
  • Published blog entries only.
  • Pagination controls and page metadata.
  • Filtering out draft, deleted, unpublished, or otherwise non-public entries.
  • Empty states for users with no published blog entries.
  • Reuse of existing Laravel/Tailwind layout and pagination patterns.

Acceptance Criteria

  • /blog/{username} renders a public paginated list of that active user public published blog entries.
  • Blog entries are ordered newest-first by published date.
  • The index shows entry title, excerpt/body preview, comment count where available, and published timestamp.
  • Pagination limits entries to a reasonable page size and provides next/previous/page links.
  • Invalid or out-of-range pages fall back cleanly or return the expected Laravel pagination response.
  • Draft, unpublished, deleted, or soft-deleted blog entries are excluded.
  • Banned, deleted, soft-deleted, or missing users do not expose public blog index pages.
  • Empty blog indexes show a clear empty state.
  • Profile/header View Blog links point to the paginated blog index.
  • User-facing UI supports light/dark mode and follows the existing Laravel/Tailwind site layout patterns.

Test Coverage Required

  • Feature tests for /blog/{username} rendering, newest-first ordering, pagination, page links, and empty state.
  • Feature tests confirming draft, unpublished, deleted, and soft-deleted entries are excluded.
  • Feature tests confirming banned, deleted, soft-deleted, or missing users do not expose blog indexes.
  • Regression tests confirming profile/header blog links point to the user blog index.
  • Regression tests confirming blog excerpts/content render safely.
  • Tests should use Pest and focused feature coverage.
  • Run the focused affected tests, then run vendor/bin/pint --dirty before closing the issue.

Progress Checklist

  • Profile/header links to user blogs exist
  • Profile stats reserve Blog Entries and Blog Views rows
  • Recent Gamer Updates presenter supports blog_entry_published
  • Add or confirm blog persistence/model
  • Add public /blog/{username} route and controller/action
  • Build paginated public user blog index
  • Add blog list item/card presentation
  • Filter non-public entries and unavailable users
  • Add empty state and pagination controls
  • Confirm profile/header blog links target the paginated index
  • Add tests for rendering, pagination, filtering, ordering, empty state, safety, and links
  • Confirm the blog index matches expected data coverage

I am going to push this back until I get enough blog entries put together to warrant pagination.

Confirmed this was completed by the recent blog rebuild. Evidence from the current checkout:

  • routes/web.php defines the public blog.index route for /blog/{username}.
  • BlogEntryController@index loads active public users, paginates entries at 10 per page, orders by published_at/created_at newest-first, counts comments, and filters non-owner viewers to published public entries only.
  • pages/blog/index.blade.php renders the entry list, timestamps, comment count, empty state, dark-mode styling, and pagination links.
  • Blog coverage in tests/Feature/BlogTest.php covers visibility filtering, unavailable users, safe rendering, pagination/newest-first behavior, and empty state.

Verification run: php artisan test --compact tests/Feature/BlogTest.php --filter="blog index" passed with 2 tests / 39 assertions. The full BlogTest.php currently has one adjacent brittle profile-stats assertion against changed stat markup, but the #17 pagination/index coverage is passing.

Confirmed this was completed by the recent blog rebuild. Evidence from the current checkout: - `routes/web.php` defines the public `blog.index` route for `/blog/{username}`. - `BlogEntryController@index` loads active public users, paginates entries at 10 per page, orders by `published_at`/`created_at` newest-first, counts comments, and filters non-owner viewers to published public entries only. - `pages/blog/index.blade.php` renders the entry list, timestamps, comment count, empty state, dark-mode styling, and pagination links. - Blog coverage in `tests/Feature/BlogTest.php` covers visibility filtering, unavailable users, safe rendering, pagination/newest-first behavior, and empty state.
