Impossible to Use Custom Document Types with uBlogsy?
Based on the (seemingly outdated) documentation, there should be a ublogsy.config file created during intallation. Didn't see one. I did see a number of other config files (ucommentsy.config, and so on).
var posts = PostService.Instance.GetPosts(Model.Content, tag, label, author, searchTerm, commenter, year, month, day, out postCount).ToIPublishedContent(true);
Looks like GetPosts calls DataService.GetLanding, which has a hardcoded (rather than configured) document type (since I am not using that document type, I am getting a null reference):
var landing = node.AncestorOrSelf("uBlogsyLanding");
Is it impossible to use custom document types with uBlogsy? Note that I'm on Umbraco 6.1.6 and uBlogsy 3.0.1.
I was considering making those doctype aliases configurable. It has wider implications for the package though as it complicates things like lucene indexes.
Darn, that's what I suspected. In any event, I decided uBlogsy wasn't going to work for me (I have multiple "blogs" on my site, each which needs a different document, e.g. for restricting child node types), and I've already built the site I was working on.
I was able to use some of uCommentsy though. There were some bugs, but I got it working.

Looking at the source code of uBlogsy (https://bitbucket.org/anthonydotnet/ublogsy/src/e8dbdcc696fcda28367b708ad145a100240d9a29/uBlogsy/uBlogsy.BusinessLogic/DataService.cs?at=mvc), it appears that the document types are hardcoded. This is causing some errors for me, such as in the RSS feed (uBlogsyRss.cshtml). I am getting a null reference exception on this line:

Hi
The rss was alwasy inteded to be under the blog node, as it's a feed for the blog.
The root of the blog has to be a uBlogsyLanding. This was never inteded to be configurable. You can have the blog under your site root.
eg.
Content
- mysite
- blog
The source is here if you need to do something custom:

No worries.
Glad you got something working.
