Any takers?

Does anybody have any solutions to this please guys? It's proving quite hard finding info/help on this issue.

You could create an xslt extension in which you use Linq2Umbraco to fetch the correct data. Here is a start:

public static XPathNodeIterator GetBlogData(int id)
{
    BlogPost post =
        (
            from blogPost in UmbracoDataContext.BlogPosts
            where blogPost.CreatorID == id
            select blogPost
        ).Single();

//TODO convert data into XPathNodeIterator. Something like this:
//XDocument index = new XDocument(
//    new XDeclaration("1.0", "utf-8", "yes"),
//    new XComment("Return the data of an blog"),
//    new XElement("blog",
//            new XElement("title",  post.Title),
//            new XElement("text",  post.Text)
//            )
//    );

//return index.CreateNavigator().Select("/blog");
}

Thanks for your reply Jeroen, I will have a look into creating the list using this method.

Is creating a new umbraco extension essential for this type of function? or is it possible to do this with the existing blog4umbraco setup using a customised XSLT file?

Apologies for my ignorance, but I'm a front-end designer who has been tasked with quite a few back-end development jobs on this project.

is working on a reply...
