I've installed ublogsy on an existing umbraco 4.7.1 site.
I've added the landing document type so it can be a child of the standard document type.
I've added a uBlogsyLanding page under my Home page, filled out all fields and published
I've added a uBlogsy - Folder: Year node under the Landing node, filled out all fields and published
Ive added a uBlogsy Post under the Year node, filled out all the fields and published
I've added a uBlogsy RSS node under the Landing node, filled out the fields and published.
When I load the blog nothing displays. I know it's probably something stupidly simple I'm missing but I'm not seeing it right now. Any help would be appreciated. I'm not getting any errors. And, for some reason, umbdebugshowtrace=true doesn't work.
The year does automatically re-direct to the landing page (this is normal behaviour), so this makes me think that the post could be of the wrong document type.
Can you look at the post and confirm it's document type (under the properties tab).
In the Content section of the admin, click on the root node (not your content, but the very root). Tabs should appear, one of which is to create blog posts. Try create a new blog via this method.
I could have sworn the post I added was the right document type but you nailed it. I guess I accidentally clicked the wrong option in the dropdown menu. Because I tried it again and it worked. And this time I have a "Post Info" tab where I didn't before. I've marked your answer as having solved the issue and High Fived you. Thank you very much for your help.
Anthony,
I wish I could mark your answer as solving the problem as well because your suggestion fixed the issue with the RSS feed. I did "High Five" you as well. Thank you for your help.
My blog is up and running. Now to style it up! :-)
If you have an existing site, you may find my integrating uBlogsy article useful. It covers how to get uBlogs working in an existing site and nothing on styling though.
New uBlogsy install - Post won't display
I've installed ublogsy on an existing umbraco 4.7.1 site.
Hello Gregg,
It sounds like you have done everything you need to and I would expect to see a blog.
Does the RSS feed show the post and are you able to go to the article directly (follow the link in the properties tab in admin)?

If I go directly to the post or the year folder either one it redirects me to the blank landing page.
If I go directly to the RSS feed I get the following error. And there's nothing below the error.
This page contains the following errors:
Below is a rendering of the page up to the first error.

Hi Gregg,
Ensure that the masterpage of your RSS template is the Umbraco default template:

hope this helps,

Hi Gregg,
Just though of one other thing you could try.
In the Content section of the admin, click on the root node (not your content, but the very root). Tabs should appear, one of which is to create blog posts. Try create a new blog via this method.
