DotNetNuke® Project :: Blog Module

Weblog (aka "blog") is arguably one of the most popular categories of applications on the Internet today.  Naturally, this makes a Blog module a very important part of the DotNetNuke family of free BSD modules.  The DotNetNuke® Blog is actually a collection of related modules which comprise all the working parts of a Blog.  When you add the blog module to a page,  you actually add all of them (which you can choose to delete or move).  These presently include:

  • Menu: List of blog related actions that a user can take, based on permissions (e.g. changing settings, adding a post, etc).
  • Search: Utility for searching Blog content.
  • Roll: List of blogs on the site (or in some logical grouping)
  • Archive: Calendar indicating dates when blogs have been posted
  • Posts: Display of the lists and content of the blogs.

This blog module was contributed to DotNetNuke (and thus to you) by Hans-Peter Schelian, who based his work on a blog module originally developed by Matt Fraser for version 1.x.  Thanks to Matt for his initial vision, and to Hans-Peter for giving it continued life in version 2.x and 3.x.

Re: Blog 03.04.00 in release tracker

Can you give me some more info on "BLG-5949 Date & Time Issue on Blog Entries" - obviously, I should be able to look that up in support.dotnetnuke.com (btw, the link to www.support.dotnetnuke.com up there doesn't work) - BUT: Gemini crashes on me all the time and after looking for this specific bug for 15 minutes, I gave up.

The reason I'm asking is because I just lost all my entry-dates in one of my blogs because I changed my blog entries. Through the forums, I found a fix in the stored procedure Blog_UpdateEntry - and now I manually restored those dates (which was a bit of work, but at least it worked). But when I had a look at the code, I realized that there's no proper "AddedDate / AddedBy" and "LastModifiedData / LastModifiedBy" as I think it should be.

As I understand it, there has been some refactoring to this end, but I'd like to know what it exactly looks like now... probably, it's in the BLG-5949 description... but Gemini refuses to show me just that :-(

Re: Blog 03.04.00 in release tracker

@holtsch: Yes that bug was fixed in this version. I also fixed the url to the bug tracker... I mistakenly had the www. in there. The url should be this: http://support.dotnetnuke.com.

Re: Blog 03.04.00 in release tracker

Hi Antonio,

I recently downloaded blog module source code from the net and installed in my dotnetnuke solution. i am able to modify the UI and write some code in that. It's working fine.

i created a new page and added blog module in the new page . i am able to see the modified version because i changed the source code that's fine and clear.

But, both the blog modules are pointing to the same content. when i created a new blog or change some settings both the blogs are affected.

Are the two instances are dependent or independent to each other.

when i worked in forums module it is creating a new instance but i am facing this problem in blog module only.

Is it like, for any portal there is only one blog module like that. or i have to setup something else to work the modules independently.

Re: Blog 03.04.00 in release tracker

@tunersdream: The Blog module is "almost" there... a lot of effort went into release DNN 4.8. Now that that is out of the way, the Blog will be released. (BTW, Blog 03.04.00 is in DNN 4.8 ;).... don't tell anyone I told you... {grin}

Hey Dan!,

I guess you can see the result :)

Re: Blog 03.04.00 in release tracker

I encountered an error when searching blogs.
I input a few words separated by space "My Music Draft", seleced radiobutton "KeyWords" and clicked "Search", then i got an error:

Server Error in '/' Application.
The resource cannot be found.
Description: HTTP 404. The resource you are looking for (or one of its dependencies) could have been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable. Please review the following URL and make sure that it is spelled correctly.

Requested URL: /Blogs.aspx

But when i searched blogs with a single word, the right results did come.
It seemed the search-redirect failed with multiple words.

Is it a bug or is there something wrong with my configuration?

Thanks.
