Bug: 16 (identical) subblogs result in each post displayed 16 times! 
Modified By Juan de Vashon Isle  on 8/22/2008 12:25:43 PM)

Here's what appears to be a bug (perhaps with me, but I suspect more with DNN 4.8.4 or the latest blog module, v 3.04.00):

At http://msugar.com/Blogs/tabid/143/Default.aspx you can see a simple blog site. If one expand the list of available blogs, one will see about 16 identical subblogs for each parent blog. On any of the actual blog pages -- only with blogs posted before a few days ago, not since - you should see each blog repeated some 16 times! I've gone back in the DNN Blog forum a few months and haven't seen any other posts of this so thought I'd raise it as a potential bug.

My situation: DNN site with two portals, this is the 2nd portal, created a few weeks ago. Currently at DNN v. 4.8.4 but the original site has been active for over a year. Upgraded to Blog 3.04.00 and added metapost functionality which I use with MS Live Writer successfully.

I created a blog for myself, created a dedicated page for my blogs, made some entries using Live Writer. Everything is good.

I then copied my page, with NEW references to each of the modules therein, to create a new blog page dedicated to my sister's blog entries. I logged in as her and created a blog for her and set things so her page would only display her entries and made a few posts to her blog on her behalf. All is OK.

I repeated this basic situation to create a blog and blog page for my mother, but this time made the copy form my page with COPY references to the existing modules (aside from the actual Blog Listing module which I still used NEW). I logged in and out as me and my mother to get view and edit and other permissions set correctly. I did nothing extra or wierd more than once, and if I did make a mistake, it was certainly not 16 times!

About the end of this, I suddenly saw that all previous blog entries, from me & my sister, were showing up some 16 times each. I deleted one of the 16 duplicate posts, but the other 15 still show up (i.e., apparenlty not 16 views of one actual post). I see that there are 16 subblogs listed under the View Blogs module, and if I go to a module setting page where I can select a subblog. I thought I'd post this so you can see what I'm referring to before I try to laboriously walk through and delete the extraneous subblogs or posts.

You can see a few pictures of this at: http://msugar.com/Blogs/Evidence/tabid/153/Default.aspx

I got brave and have made a few new posts, and these seem fine.

Any ideas?!

Re: Bug: 16 (identical) subblogs result in each post displayed 16 times! 

Hi Juan,

I was able to reproduce this weird behavior on my test environment. The issue arises when creating a new page using the COPY option for the blog module. This will need a close insight to understand what goes during the creation of the new page. In the meanwhile, the NEW option should be used, since I verified it works correctly.

Best regards,
Dario Rossa

Thanks for verifying my reality Dario! I'm (sort of) glad to be a gunea pig and find a bug for you.

Is there any expedient way to delete subblogs, e.g. with a SQL Query or something? Not a huge deal obviously, but would save me a few mouse clicks.

Re: Bug: 16 (identical) subblogs result in each post displayed 16 times! 

No need for SQL scripts, I just went through and deleted the subblogs fairly easily. I do see some posts are duplicated and still need to delete those one by one, but do not see that these are necessarily connected to the same issue as noted above. If I notice any patterns I'll get back with details.

*                    *                      *                   *

I do notice another seeming bug: if one choses in the module settings to only have less than the first 1024 default characters of a blog displayed, the cutoff seems to be precisely that many characters from the source HTML (NOT the actual characters to be displayed), and may result in part of an HTML tag being displayed, which then results in rendering errors if an img tag is truncated before the closing brace, or the numbers of charcaters will be quite few as there is a long HTML tag that doesn't get displayed, but still eats into the max number of characters to be displayed. At a minimum the code should continue until critical tags are closed...

A note of appreciation is still due though for all the blog does so readily. I really enjoy using it and it is helping our family reach out to others. Thanks.

Hi Juan,

Thanks for posting these issues!  I just wanted to let you know that we've addressed both the truncation issue as well as the child blog duplication issue in the next release of the blog module which is currently in the release tracker.
