Hi David

Yes you can use uBlogsy for multi sites. You need the landing node for each site. No guarantee's on the dashboard control however. The next version will have a dropdown to select your root blogs. You should be able to do some clever jquery to hide dropdown items depending on logged in users.

Hi,

I know this is an old post but I was wondering if it is possible to have the comments form work in multiple languages?

Thanks,

Ed

Quick answer is yes.

Regarding the hardcoded text... they can all be replaced with dictionary items.

What else did you need to do with it?

Thanks.

I noticed I could change a lot of the hard coded text to dictionary items but wasn't sure on the comment form labels such as Name etc.

It's just normal .net

You can change it all to Dictionary items. In fact, in uBlogsy for U5 i've a done everything with dictionary items.

Thanks Anthony, I figured out that I can just change the usercontrol file without rebuilding the dll.

The last issue I'm having with my multisite is that the search is returning posts from all blogs? Any advice on how to fix this?

Thanks,

Ed

You could set the IndexParentId attribute on the relevant indexset element in your ExamineIndex.config and search against that index? e.g.

<IndexSet SetName="PersonIndexSet" IndexPath="~/App_Data/ExamineIndexes/PersonIndex/" IndexParentId="3968">

That would require one index set per website though. Another way of doing it is hooking up into the DocumentWriting event of the indexer, and add the ID of website's root node to the index. When you search you can then simply include the website root node in the search query.

    public class ExamineIndexingEvents : ApplicationBase
    {
        private ILog log = LogManager.GetLogger();

        public ExamineIndexingEvents()
        {
            var indexer = (LuceneIndexer)ExamineManager.Instance.IndexProviderCollection["MyIndexer"];
            indexer.DocumentWriting += new EventHandler<Examine.LuceneEngine.DocumentWritingEventArgs>(indexer_DocumentWriting);
        }

        void indexer_DocumentWriting(object sender, Examine.LuceneEngine.DocumentWritingEventArgs e)
        {
            if (e.Document != null && e.Fields.ContainsKey("path"))
            {
                // Extract root node ID from path:
                try
                {
                    string rootNodeId = e.Fields["path"].Split(',')[3];
                    e.Document.Add(new Field("rootNodeId", rootNodeId, Field.Store.YES, Field.Index.NOT_ANALYZED));
                }
                catch (Exception ex)
                {
                    log.Error("Failed to add rootNodeId to index", ex);
                }
            }
        }
    }

After much thinking...

A quick solution without having to recompile anything...

Find this line in uBlogsyListPosts.cshtml

posts = PostService.Instance.GetPosts(Model.Id, tag, category, author, searchTerm, commenter, page-1, count);

Add these lines directly after

// get landing node
var landing = DataService.Instance.GetLanding(Model.Id);

// only get posts where the path has the landing node's id.
posts = posts.Where(x => x.Path.Contains(landing.Id + ","));
 

Thanks for all your help, I'll give this a go soon. The blog looks great by the way!

Hi,

I get this error:

Error loading Razor Script /uBlogsy/uBlogsyListPosts.cshtml
d:\domains\optapro.otbstudio.co.uk\httpdocs\macroScripts\uBlogsy\uBlogsyListPosts.cshtml(51): error CS1977: Cannot use a lambda expression as an argument to a dynamically dispatched operation without first casting it to a delegate or expression tree type

Thanks,

Ed

Ah..

instead of var, use IEnumerable<DynamicNode>

like this:

IEnumerable<DynamicNode> posts = PostService.Instance.GetPosts(Model.Id, tag, category, author, searchTerm, commenter, page - 1, count);

is working on a reply...
