New Post: Author page?

BenAmada — Fri, 03 Jul 2009 21:21:48 GMT

I'm getting the 404 too when there is a space in the editor's name. The link is First+Last and should instead be First-Last.

This is obviously a problem that needs to be fixed. If there's no space in the name, then it works. We just need to fix the case where there is a space, and use hyphens instead of pluses for spaces in the name in the URL.

Glad you brought this up!

But if I have done 2 posts, why does it do a 404 error when I click my name instead of showing my 2 posts?

New Post: blogroll does not show links

erleellis — Fri, 03 Jul 2009 14:27:24 GMT

FYI- I've solved the "running down the page" problem by using an invisible category for Featured posts and limiting it to 3 posts at a time.

I'd still love to solve the blogroll problem I posted at the top! Note that this problem is independent of the theme- it doesn't work with the most recent Standard theme either. Also- this may have something to do with my shared hosting? 1and1?

Thanks to anyone out there who can solve this!

New Post: How to change Title format?

huey — Fri, 03 Jul 2009 13:33:16 GMT

I found this in default.aspx.cs. But I have chosen "Use blog name in page titles"in the admin. I had changed " | " to " - " already. It was not working in my case.

if (!BlogSettings.Instance.UseBlogNameInPageTitles)
Page.Title = BlogSettings.Instance.Name + " | ";

Posts should show up immediately.

Are you in a webfarm, mosso or load balancing environment? In these environments, it's a known issue that you won't see new data (posts, comments etc) on all the servers participating in the farm, except for the actual server the new data was received on.

New Post: Author page?

BenAmada — Fri, 03 Jul 2009 11:03:26 GMT

Clicking on the author name that shows in a post is designed to go to a page that shows all the posts by that author.

If you're the only author, this isn't too meaningful. But if you have multiple editors in your blog, then this allows you to see all posts by a single editor.

You can create a "Page" in the control panel that describes you (i.e. an About Me page). And then add a link to that page in the sidebar (within a widget, for example).

Commented Issue: Emails are not sent out

BenAmada — Fri, 03 Jul 2009 10:55:49 GMT

I guess my error is well documented here (see http://www.codeplex.com/blogengine/Thread/View.aspx?ThreadId=33460 ). My email tests successfully but both comments and contact page does not work. In v. 1.5.0.7 I dont get email of the comments made and my contact page's form says email is sent but I dont receive it. Email address used of the same domain is received but others are missed out

Hi .. yeah -- the builds on the Source Code tab don't include the compiled BE core project. You could download the free Visual Web Developer 2008 express edition to compile the project yourself (link below), or for these particular changes, there were just 2 files updated. You could replace just those 2 files. Because the files are files outside of the BE core, and they weren't updated between 1.5.0.7 and 1.5.1.6, it should be safe to just use the newer versions of these files. You probably already downloaded them, but they are also at:

SendCommentMail.cs file for the App_Code\Extensions directory
http://blogengine.codeplex.com/SourceControl/changeset/view/27556#70810

Contact.aspx.cs file for the root directory
http://blogengine.codeplex.com/SourceControl/changeset/view/27556#52329

Created Issue: 404 Error Page Returns with Code 200

Cygon — Fri, 03 Jul 2009 10:16:52 GMT

BlogEngine.NET's 404 error page loads with code 200 (success). This prevents google's file-based page verification from working since querying for _any_ URL will cause the server to respond with http 200. It may also cause some web crawlers to mess up (any invalid URL in your blog will look like actual pages to the web crawler and it might think your site consists of lots of duplicate pages)

I fixed it by adding a

Response.Status = "404 Not Found";

in the 404 page's Page_Load() method.

Created Issue: Server Error when Browser Specifies Invalid Region

Cygon — Fri, 03 Jul 2009 10:12:18 GMT

When I view a post with Links (at text-mode browser), a server error occurs. I think this is because Links specifies an invalid region code (127). The error may be in Links, but it would help if BlogEngine.NET could at least fall back to some default so the post can still be viewed.

Here's the exception I'm getting:

Region ID 127 (0x007F) is not a supported region. Parameter name: culture

Description: HTTP 500. Error processing request.

New Post: Unable to Add New Entries

nevets2001uk — Fri, 03 Jul 2009 08:53:57 GMT

My apologies. I overlooked a simple issue which I've now fixed.

After replacing the deleted directories the permissions had been reset and I simply added the modify rights for the ISUR to the App_Data directory to get it going.

New Post: Unable to Add New Entries

nevets2001uk — Fri, 03 Jul 2009 07:26:16 GMT

I made a bit of a mstake early in the week when upgrading some of my website. I accidently started deleting the Blog directory. I stopped the delete as soon as I realised but a lot of files had been scrapped. Luckily I'd backed up everything before hand so I proceeded to overwrite the Blog directory with my backup.

Everything seemed to go ok and the blog was once again available. However now when I tried to Add a Blog it let's me login and type the post but when I click save I get an error:

This one's down to me! Please accept my apologies for this - I'll see to it that the developer responsible for this broken link is given 20 lashes (but only after he or she has fixed this problem).

You can also try to search for the page you were looking for:

The URL is http://mydomain.com/Blog/error404.aspx?aspxerrorpath=/Blog/admin/Pages/Add_entry.aspx

I've also tried adding an entry as admin with the same result.

matharuajay — Fri, 03 Jul 2009 06:54:44 GMT

You can change that in you default.aspx.cs page. It will be in the page_load event. Find out this line

Page.Title = BlogSettings.Instance.Name + " | ";

I am on linux and I changed the permissions on the admin directory to 777 or everyone full access and it solved the problem.

New Post: Change default.aspx name

walterigo — Fri, 03 Jul 2009 05:28:02 GMT

I think I have a working example of what Amateur was trying to do.

here is some code that uses the blogengine controlls and then access some of the non blogengine controls. This example is a downoad page.

the first part is download.aspx.cs

public partial class download : BlogBasePage

   }
        protected void Button2_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
       // Some code here. whatever you are trying to accomplish

        }

}

download.aspx

<asp:Button ID="Button2" runat="server" onclick="Button2_Click"
Text="Start Download" Width="158px" />

</asp:Content>

_________________________

I got to this point by hacking contact.aspx and contact.aspx.cs and then of course put the <a id="A2" href="~/download.aspx" runat="server">Download</a> By the other links in site.master

I spent about 6-8 hours on this. I sould of gave up on google after 20 minutes and worked it out myself.

I was patiently waiting for the final version of BE1.5 and was tracking http://www.dotnetblogengine.net/

This website STILL is talking about a release candidate, while the final version apparently was released on CodePlex 2.5 months ago. Thanks a lot, webmaster!

Commented Issue: Emails are not sent out

Hi,
I downloaded BE 1.5.1.6 from your source code tab above and realised after much effort that it does not have the bin folder (its empty). Without those new files for the bin folder I am unable to move any futher cos its generating error. Any help in locating the new BlogEngine.Core.dll and BlogEngine.Core.xml?

There were improvements made to the emails for new comment notifications and the contact page. These improvements were made in BE 1.5.1.6. The latest build of BE can be downloaded on the Source Code tab above. These improvements were made in response to the following 2 items in the tracker:

http://blogengine.codeplex.com/WorkItem/View.aspx?WorkItemId=9283

If possible, please try using the latest build of BE to see if these issues are resolved for you, thanks.

I want to change "|" to "-" in the title (e.g. "Blog | xxxxxx - browser" to Blog - xxxxxx - browser"). I choose to "Use blog name in page titles" I was unable to change "|" to "-". Where can I get it done for this?
Thank you in advance.
