Closed Feature: Configurable options [2123]

codegecko — Thu, 16 May 2013 08:10:49 GMT

Hi Tim,

Great package. I've got a suggestion: Allow some configuration of date folders. When not posting that many posts .. it's enough to have 2 levels (year, month). Otherwise it's a lot of clicking :-)

Thanks
Jesper

Closed Feature: Multiple blogs - sharing tags [3934]

codegecko — Thu, 16 May 2013 08:10:47 GMT

I was a bit surprised that the package actually offers creating multiple blogs. Cool. But it seems that the tags are shared across blogs.

To reproduce:

Create 2 or more blogs.
Create to blog posts and add different tags.
Both blogs share the same tags in tag cloud.

Closed Feature: Support trackbacks [4082]

codegecko — Thu, 16 May 2013 08:10:46 GMT

Add a flag to comments (or treat as a separate table) indicating something is a trackback

Support the trackback posting type. Support auto-discovery via RDF.
http://www.sixapart.com/pronet/docs/trackback_spec

The RDF bit is easy enough to include in the blog post xslt, but need to have a service to post to as well as a way to store the data.

Also, trackbacks should always require moderation (IMHO)

Commented Issue: error after installing blog [6896]

Come to the conclusion that uBlogsy is a far better option installed cleanly uses Razor syntax instead of the horror show that is xslt with no errors.

If you open up your config folder find xsltExtensions.config and remove \bin from the file path,

this will work but not for all errors as I have:

Error parsing XSLT file: \xslt\BlogRssFeedLink.xslt

Error parsing XSLT file: \xslt\Blogpages.xslt

Error parsing XSLT file: \xslt\BlogCategories.xslt

Error parsing XSLT file: \xslt\BlogLatestComments.xslt

Any advice on the remaining errors?

Created Issue: Issue with filtering on tags and Windows Live Writer [7979]

joakimrosendahl — Tue, 15 May 2012 13:51:56 GMT

I have an issue with Windows Live Writer (WLW) and tags. When publishing posts from WLW the post cannot be filtered using any of the attached tags.

Versions:
I'm using Umbraco 4.7.2, with SQLServerCE 4. I've tried both blog4umbraco 2.0.26 and the Blog Startkit (which I assume is a version óf blog4umbraco?).

Symptoms:
When a post has been published from WLW it all seems fine. The post is there and the tags are displayed. However, the post is not displayed when filtering on any used tag.

What I've got so far:
I'm very new to Umbraco so I don't really know how everything is connected. But in the database table cmsContentXML every(?) blog post is stored as XML, and the XML has an <tags>-element. When posting with WLW the <tags> only containts an empty CDATA. It seems like the BlogListPosts.xslt uses this tag to do the filtering.

If I just republish the WLW-posts (hitting the publish button), the <tags>-element is populated and the filtering works.

The XSLT-script also use "tagsLib:getTagsFromNode()" to get tags for each post, maybe this can be used when filtering?

New Post: Package for Umbraco 5?

bursteg — Wed, 21 Mar 2012 07:53:47 GMT

Following a previous question on whether this project is still in development - are you targeting version 5 of Umbraco?

Do you have a rough estimation on when we should be able to use the new version?

Closed Issue: Rss - XML or text declaration not at start [7499]

robertjf — Tue, 29 Nov 2011 23:37:53 GMT

Hey there,

got the blog running and got one problem.

My Rss-Feed /rss.aspx fails and is not valid, cause somehow it doesn't begin at the top of the document.

There is 1 empty line and 3 empty chars at the top, so the "XML" gets invalid.

line 2, column 2: XML parsing error: <unknown>:2:2: XML or text declaration not at start of entity

Didn't change any of the XSLTs. Any idea?

Thanks in advance.
Comments:

Not an issue - most likely a problem with uBlogsy

Fixed it on my side. There was a new line in the RSS-Template, had nothing to do with the XSLT.

(I'm sorry if what I am using is not blog4umbraco and i opened up an issue here, you are free to delete it and thanks for quick answer)

First: Sorry, wanted to put this question into discussion, somehow accidently it landed here ^^

I'm using the version inside the Blog Starter Kit (i guess it is blog4umbraco?? Kick my a** if I am wrong).
Umbraco: 4.7.1

robertjf — Tue, 29 Nov 2011 18:05:53 GMT

Hi,
What version are you using? are you using the released version 2.0.26? Did you download it using the Package Manager in Umbraco? Which version of Umbraco are you using?

Thanks,
Rob.

robertjf — Mon, 28 Nov 2011 11:47:40 GMT

1. Renamed the DocumentTypes TrackBacks and Comments to TrackBacksContainer and CommentsContainer respectively so that they don't clash with the Generated POCO's from "Export to .Net" 2. Moved "TrackBacksContainer", "DateFolder" and "CommentsContainer" strings to Constants 3. Cleaned up "magic" document type strings

* Fixed up various XSLT files * Comments now nesting properly * Optimised BlogLibrary and Blog code used by XSLT's so that the Cached Nodes are used instead of Documents - much faster rendering of Archives etc. * various bug fixes. *** New XSLT's are using HTML5 Elements where appropriate ***

robertjf — Fri, 18 Nov 2011 16:02:56 GMT

* Fixed GravatarUrl Property in Comments * Tweaked CommentModeration control * fixes when publishing new posts including handling custom DateFolder DocumentType and crashes with custom Examine-Lucene Index * Fixed various XSLT - Archve, ListPosts, RssFeedLink * Added standalone Paging XSLT (includes next, previous and page numbering) and updated ListPosts to reflect the same navbar. * Added Parameters to ListPosts macro to give the option to set the page size and hide the Filter title and pager etc.

Fixed issue with two methods of BlogLibrary having same number of parameters making them incompatible with XSLT rendering

Refactored the CommentModeration Dashboard Control and moved it to the plugins folder. Tested Comment and Blog Post creation in the process and fixed up a number of issues.
