Hmmm,

Looks like the RSS issue is a bit more generic.

XML Parsing Error: XML or text declaration not at start of entity
Location: http://www.sample.co.uk/rss.aspx
Line Number 2, Column 5:    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>Error loading MacroEngine script (file: /uBlogsy/uBlogsyRSS.cshtml)
----^

Can you paste a screen shot of your content tree here?

Sorry no. I have been playing with it to get it going and have put your node back at the top.

The RSS still doesn't work though.

Also. What is the reason for the empty holding masterpage (uBlogsyBase)?

If we are stuck with the blog being the top hierarchal object then page posts will need to inherit a different masterpage. Having the home page tied to the main masterpage is a severe contraint on diplay and functionality. I need to mod where each page gets its template howver I am concerned that functionality will turn off (like Facebook buttons etc) when I move stuff.

A truly fantastic piece of work btw, sorry for the questions.

The landing node does not need to go at the root.

However, if you want to display post from a node that is higher

eg. from a home node:

- Home
  - uBlogsyLanding   

Then you need to modify the scripts because the scripts assume the landing node is always going to be a search going up the tree.

uBlogsyBase is not necessary. You can inherit from any masterpage. The rss needs to inherit from /umbraco/default.master

What is happening with the rss?

Regarding the social media links. This could be because the js file was not included. Do a search for "addthis" in your page source in the browser. It could also be because it was included more than once.

Hope that helps.

Thanks Anthony I'll try your suggestions.

The RSS is giving me the error in the post above on a yellow background.

This is most likely because there is some space in the start of the output.

Make sure that the masterpages dont have any space in the start. This annoyingly also includes linebreaks.

The code looks exactly the same as the RSS code for an older version of ublogsy and that works OK.

You said:

How can I globally change the Model_ID so that all other scripts inherit from it?

I can see this line in listposts:

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

Looks like its calling a bespoke method.

Sorry I am new to Razor and just guessing. Just setting the model_id here won't change them in other scripts will it?

Model.Id is the id of the current page.

GetPosts does a search up the tree.

The easiest thing is to replace Model.Id with the landing node's id. 

Regarding the rss... try removing stuff until it doesnt crash anymore...then add things back incrementally until it breaks.

I have been through the master pages and stripped it out to make sure no addtional spaces are screwing with the markup.

I am pretty sure the problem is with the uBlogsyRSS.cshtml file. I have tried running it with the older uBlogsyRSS.cshtml file from version 1.3.6.1 which works fine. Still the error.

Has anyone else got this RSS bug?

How is this issue?

Is it resolved?

I can confirm I am also getting this error. I have my own masterpage and the landing page is further down the tree.

Am going to have a look at this again today. I have a bit of time.

I have this script:

@using System.Linq
@using System.Xml.Linq
@using umbraco.MacroEngines
@using uBlogsy.Common.Extensions
@using uBlogsy.Common.Helpers
@using uBlogsy.BusinessLogic
@{
    const int ITEMS_PER_PAGE = 20; // for testing
   
    // get item count
    int count = int.Parse(@Parameter.ItemCount);

    IEnumerable<DynamicNode> nodes;
    var posts = PostService.Instance.GetPosts(1116);
    nodes = ((IEnumerable<DynamicNode>)posts).Take(count);
        <ul>
            @foreach (DynamicNode n in nodes)
            {
                <li>
                    <a href="@n.Url" title="@n.GetProperty("uBlogsyContentTitle").Value">
                        <span><h3>@n.GetProperty("uBlogsyPostDate").Value.FormatDateTimeOrdinal("d MMM") - @n.GetProperty("uBlogsyContentTitle").Value</h3>
                     </span> </a>
                       <p> @n.GetProperty("uBlogsyContentSummary").Value</p>
                </li>
            }
        </ul>
  
 }

Its lifted from your script Anthony.

I have hard coded the blog ID root node (which is  subordinate of home) (id 1116) and it returns

Error loading MacroEngine script (file: [RZR]LatestBlog.cshtml)

any ideas or gaffs.

Ignore that previous.

I figured it and its so stupid I am embarrassed to mention it again.

is working on a reply...
