Why is there no bin folder in \sBlog.Net-v3.0\sBlog.Net ?
it is causing build errors because of the missing sBlog.Net.dll file.

actual error: Metadata file 'D:\sBlog.Net-v3.0\sBlog.Net\bin\sBlog.Net.dll' could not be found

hello, just a suggestion as i am going to try my hand at implementing this myself. but i think a more robust post entity would be nice and allow alternate layouts depending on what sort of stuff was attached to the post. i.e. specifically, a table for files associated with the post.

with that, you could create downloadable assets associated with the post, add banner graphics to a post, and also have an easy way to embed videos associated with the post.

Something like the following:

on the post:

public List<AttachmentEntity> Attachments { get; set; }

namespace sBlog.Net.Domain.Entities
{
    [Table(Name = "Attachments")]
    public class AttachmentEntity
    {
        [Column(IsPrimaryKey = true, IsDbGenerated = true, AutoSync = AutoSync.OnInsert)]
        public int AttachmentId { get; set; }
        [Column] 
        public int PostID { get; set; }
        [Column] 
        public string AttachmentName { get; set; }
        [Column]
        public string AttachmentType { get; set; }
        [Column]
        public string AttachmentPath { get; set; }
        [Column]
        public PostContextType PostContext { get; set; } 
    }

    public enum PostContextType //context of the post, is this for a banner?  a main content video?  downloadable asset?
    {
        Video,
        Banner,
        Downloadable
    }
}

Also, you could store the entire file in the db as a byte array and decode the context on the other side for secured files...

Provide the ability to log to various formats [txt, database etc] for debugging. This could be done using MEF, so that the logging could be done optionally, if required. So, this would require the following:

(1) Create a ILogger interface w/in sBlog.Net.Extensibility
(2) Modify NinjectControllerFactory.cs. After the controller instance is created, compose that instance.
(3) Add imports in the base controller, provide a method to log (virtual methods)
(4) Add logging statements as required

Based on @shiggan arguments, check if you could just use log4net/ nlog.

I have a need to allow multiple users in a group to have an individual blog of their own. Not all posting in the same blog as authors.

Ideally, I would be able to switch to each authors blog via a URL. I do see that the Posts in the database has an owner field, but it appears to be ignored.

Is there an easy way to accomplish this with sBlog?

So, in my layout, i want the tags for an individual post to show in the sidebar, so to do this i used RenderSection but it refuses to render... even debugging it just glances right over it, any ideas?

in my _Layout:

    @RenderSection("tags", false)

the tags themselves:

@section tags { 

<h3 class="section-title">Tags</h3>
<div class="widget tags-wr">
    <ul class="tags-list">
        @foreach(var t in Model.Post.Tags)
        {
        }
        @if (Model.Count > 0)
        {
            foreach (var tag in Model.Where(tag => tag.IsTagEntityValid()))
            {                                           
              <li><i class="fa fa-tags"></i> @Html.RouteLink(tag.TagName, "Tag", new { tagName = tag.TagSlug })  </li>
            }
        }
        else
        {
              <li><i class="fa fa-tags"></i>No tags!</li>
        }
    </ul>
</div>
}

The title says it all! Here is the complete exception from the Errors table

I am getting an exception

"A potentially dangerous Request.Form value was detected from the client"

So I have changed the code as

if (keyName.Equals("Post.PostContent"))
{
var unvalidatedValueProvider = bindingContext.ValueProvider as IUnvalidatedValueProvider;
return unvalidatedValueProvider.GetValue(keyName, true).AttemptedValue;
}

Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'textColorTitle' of undefined ckeditor.js:47

Hi,

I am sitting in Germany and i had to set the "en-us" CultureInfo in the DateTime.Parse methods located in MockPost and MockComment classes. Otherwise it was not able to parse all the hardcoded dates.

Have a nice day and thanky you for your blog!

Setup does not start during first run - due to the addition of custom razor view engine in global.asax.cs

private void SetupViewEngines()
{
     var settings = InstanceFactory.CreateSettingsInstance();
     ViewEngines.Engines.Clear();
     ViewEngines.Engines.Add(new CustomRazorViewEngine(settings.BlogTheme)); <--- error, load the default view engine if BlogTheme is null
 }

Side bar displays authors url as Author/AuthotListing. Should be the rest safe authors
