I thought I seen someone on here who may have did this already but I cant find it.

T rying to see how complicated it would be to add blogs to my user profiles..

I want the logged in user to be able to have their own blogs on their profile page and then allow them to edit them

I would also like to do the same for events if possible.

Hi,

I'll try to find the source sample that we have for the blog, and can you please open a new topic for the calendar events so we can track these separately.

Regards

Ok..

I got blogs creating upon registration by adding the following code I found on the forums
Slightly edited..

//create usr blog

BlogEntity blog = new BlogEntity(GuidExtension.NewSequentialGuid());

blog.Name = membershipUser.UserName;

blog.Slug = UrlSeoOptimizer.GetOptimizedString(blog.Name);

blog.DateCreated = DateTime.Now;

blog.UserId = userId;

blog.ApplicationId = MembershipRepository.GetInstance().GetApplicationId();

blog.LanguageId = LocalizationUtility.GetCurrentLanguageId();

MonoXCacheManager cacheManager = MonoXCacheManager.GetInstance();

cacheManager.RemoveAll(CacheKeys.Blog.Root);

cacheManager.RemoveAll(CacheKeys.Blog.Editors);

using (BlogRepository rep = BlogRepository.GetInstance())

rep.SaveBlog(blog);

I added the code to my
public override void CreateAccount(MembershipUser membershipUser)

function.. at the end after i know the account was created..

Ok now I seem to be able to navigate to
http://localhost/blog/posts/username/
and load the blog up.

Ok, now I think I need to build a customer part that I can place on all my members profiles to list just their blogs..

I am thinking I can prob inherit
<%@ Register TagPrefix="MonoX" TagName="BlogList" Src="/MonoX/ModuleGallery/Blog/BlogList.ascx" %>
and sets its property somehow to the current profiles name ?

That would be great...

I found a property in the API on bloglist for userid=guid..

I then tried just hard coding it in but when i try bloglist.userid the field is not known..
Not sure if this is a mistake or if it was removed or if its not exposed.

you got it..

According to the API documentation there is already a userid field that can be set..
But I cant seem to see this property inside .net only inside the API documentation can I find this.

Maybe its not exposed ?

Or maybe I need to create my own web part for this beyond that of a simple property I can set upon page load.

Hi,

which MonoX version do you have? I've checked it on our side and UserID property is exposed and it works fine when I set the UserId, it fitlers only blog posts for that user.

Do you have source code edition?
