ASP.NET MVC 4 - Blog engine based on Twitter Bootstrap

That's an amazing job. Well done. There are a few incongruousness but it still be a well done blog engine

Hi, JavaScript or JqueryScript written not taking effect. Please me help me out. working with : https://github.com/danielpalme/MVCBlog

@Paul: Did you change the setting "sendMail" to "true"? If that's the case please try again. If anything goes wrong, you can have a look in the log file in directory "Logs" or you can debug if something goes wrong.

Having provided the mailsettings creditals in the appsettings.jason, i am unable to confirm user's email address amongst others. I have tried numerous procedures which hasn't been working either, having been working on this issue for a week now, i am completely drained. Any help to resolve the issue will be highly appreciated and would also help to continue on my learning journing. I would like a confirmation of email address to be sent to user upon registration. I am using the .net core app : https://github.com/danielpalme/MVCBlog

@Daniel Thanking you for taking time out to attend to my enquiry. I'm now successfully able to access my file, following your instruction. More power to your elbow.

@Paul: Have a look at the CSP rules in Statup.cs: https://github.com/danielpalme/MVCBlog/blob/4245ab4a626c756a732ca4128230d9140e242250/src/MVCBlog.Web/Startup.cs#L151 You probably have to reconfigure some if the rules.

Thanks a million for the unique piece of work shared with other people, to benefit from. I have spent a significant amount of time trying to fine-tune your application to my suitability, all efforts and time spent seemed to have proved abortive. I am trying to include a multi-media file in the app, but for some reasons unknown the file is prevented from loading. multi-media files (mp4, webm, ogg) included in the project can not be accessed through html tag or by specifying full path in the browsers. It displays the video player image in static form without the file content. Below is my html tag : <video width="350" height="400" controls loop > <source src="~/videos/Sample_01.mp4" type="video/mp4"> <source src="https://localhost:****/videos/MySample.mp4" type="video/mp4"> </video> and browsers path : https://localhost:****/videos/MySample.mp4 I am using the .net core app : https://github.com/danielpalme/MVCBlog Any help will be highly apprecaited. Thanks

Hi @Daniel I am just fork you repo and changed to my blog It's awesome man. https://github.com/RajaduraiAz/personalBlog this is my personal blog source forked from yours. Thanks

Hi Daniel I have Add Some filed in BlogEntries in Sql Database.and same filed Changed BlogEntry.cs class through error like The model backing the 'DatabaseContext' context has changed since the database was created. Consider using Code First Migrations to update the database (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=238269). help me please

@Ted: I don't have plans to update the blog engine or to add more features. If you like, you can create a fork and customize the project.

Hi Daniel, Your original Blog engine is a great accomplishment. My shop prefers the MVC approach and I hope we can contribute to your MVC version of the BlogEngine. To that end, do you have an implementation road map for making the current version of the MVC BlogEngine feature complete, or equivalent, with the ASP.NET version? The UI customization is of particular interest in my shop. I am asking so that, if I can convince my management, I can begin with an approach that is in line with your plan and does not distract. Both BlogEngines are great work. I would like to contribute. This is just my attempt to make a first contact and get your thoughts. Thanks very much and best wishes in your future work. Ted Campbell

hey Bill i try your source code but i have some error , how to fix this t4MVC.ttl problem After i downloaded the project , I ran the T4MVC.tt generator. It has errors and then the solution example error : Severity Code Description Project File Line Suppression State Error Compiling transformation: Type 'GeneratedTextTransformation' already defines a member called 'Write' with the same parameter types MVCBlog.Website C:\Users\musti\Downloads\MVCBlog-master\src\MVCBlog.Website\T4MVC.tt.hooks.t4 1

Yeah, It's possible to add new users using Registry editor. Superb option for web. Config file. Thanks for sharing!

In order to use the generic commands<entity> and their handlers I needed to change the signature of the handlers to take two Type parameters (Tcommand and Tentity). Otherwise I couldn't instantiate these generic handlers: No implicit reference conversion from Command<T> to EntityBase... I noticed that you don't use these generic commands and opted for specific handlers like: 'AddOrUpdateBlogEntryCommandHandler' instead of AddOrUpdateCommandHandler<T>. Any thought on that?

Any fast way to migrate sdf DB to a mdf?? Great project thx a lot!

@Bill: There nothing special. You could add a ContactController, the corresponding models and views. Then you implement the required methods in the controller. Then you should update the code generated by T4MVC.tt (right click then select "Run custom code").

Hello Daniel, Great work. I am having trouble understanding exactly how to add on to this project. I am getting errors when I add typical MVC models and views. Would you briefly explain the process on adding a Contact page?

I just wanted to say thank you for this. I'm studying MVC and this code is robust enough to teach me some things and yet simple enough that I can run with it. I hooked it up to a SQL 2012 DB and it worked on the first try. I had absolutely no issues. Kind of shocked by that actually. Great work.

hello, i have not make any query or table in sql but all content of blog like create new blog or post comments all save and never gone after refresh, i have question that how can be possible or working on your blog? can you please give a brief on it?..thankss

Hello sir how i get these files of blog.............Help me......

muy super este articulo. gracias por compartir experiencia

After extracted 'src' folder. I open it with VS 2013 also run. But occur some error on global.aspx and application can't work.

i download your blog project but i dont find username and password

Hi Daniel, I personally preferred SimpleInjector over any other, simply because it's fastest, as fast as having no IoC Container. But SimpleInjector is not very simple when you like to integrate Identity 2 for roles and membership. As Identity use poor man's Ioc throughout and mostly implemented using multiple constructor methods for Controllers etc. There are few people who overcome this by adding more code, which was getting too complicated for me and the whole purpose of SimpleInjector was to keep things simple and speedy, isn't it! While Unity is comparatively slow, but is very flexible. I spend almost half a day trying to support simpleInjector and then gave up later it took me less than an hour to make my website up and running again with Unity. Call it my incompetence, but personally I like to have very neat and less code in my projects, less code means less maintenance.

@Naveed: You can of course use Unity instead of SimpleInjector. But I don't understand why Unity should work better as SimpleInjector. Can you explain?

Hi Daniel, Thanks for the blog engine. I have been thinking to integrate a CMS into my website, silly me, figured out, you can't integrate one. They want you to integrate your website into the CMS. Which i can't afford at the moment. A quick question, I want to use Unity, as its easier with Identity 2. I was using SimpleInjector before setting up Identity. It was just very complicated to set it up with it. So, do you see any problem if I use Unity with your MVC4 / bootstrap implementation?

Hi Denial, Awesome job man. Good work!! I downloaded your stuffs for learning purpose. So many things in your code are new. Give me guideline how can i improve my skills. Thank you from core of my heart. Thanks

Thanks for this nice information. It is very nice and clear way to setup. It is a great post. It is a kind interesting to do so because of the integrating blog engine into an existing site. Last time I am hosting a web site that using myasp.net. I learn many more idea here.

BTW, the problem was that somehow the ZIP package had all the carriage returns stripped out with only line feeds in. The first 8 bytes of the good t4hooks had a CR/LF EF BB BF 23 2B 0D 0A The first 8 bytes of the zipped t4hooks had only an LF EF BB BF 23 2B 0A 2F That probably messed up the TT parsing.

Hi Daniel, Yeah, I downloaded the zip. Thanks for looking into it. I will try getting it directly from GitHub for the tt files then. BTW, your code excellent. Very clean. Thanks for sharing it!

@Alan: Very strange issue. When I download the ZIP file, I get the same error. When I check out the files directly from Github, it seems to work.

Great project! I have one issue though that I havent been able to resolve. After i downloaded the project , I ran the T4MVC.tt generator. It has errors and then the solution wont compile. Error 82 Compiling transformation: Invalid token 'this' in class, struct, or interface member declaration Error 83 Compiling transformation: Method must have a return type Error 84 Compiling transformation: Type expected

thanks for all Daniel! it's an excellent project and it's works great! Very usefull and complete!!! Regards!

Hello, many thanks for this blog engine. That's exactly what I was looking for. Simple, performant, minimalist, and very efficient.

@Andrey: Yes, that's supported

Hello! I see an RSS icon on the screenshot. Does your blog engine support rss feed generating? Thanks.

Is there any code/mechanism to import existing blog content via a blogml.xml file?

@Robert: The Github repository contains a solutions file. You should be able to build to solution. Be sure you have Nuget package restore enabled.

Can you upload on Git the version which can be built out of box? The current one doesn't have solution file and doesn't build for me. Preferably changing it to web application project.

@Nico: No credits required.

Hello if using this blog must i provide any credits?

Hello, Thank you very much for this project! Really great! I have one question. I am not familiar with Dependency Injection and I would want to remove SimpleInjector and no dependency injection at all. Any advise how can I remove the SimpleInjector and make the blog work without that? I know I have to remove the nuget and so on but what I have to change in the code so I will make it work without dependency injection? Thank you very much!

@Rob: When you are editing a blog entry you can add and remove its tags. If you want to change an existing tag name, then you have to do this at database level. There in no specific UI for that.

How do I change the Tags?

@Alec: I have no plans for any modifications at this time. My spam protection works pretty well (hidden website field and time stamp) and stupid comments are very rare on my blog, I delete them right after receiving the corresponding email notification.

Are you considering implementing comment moderation? That appears to be the only downfall of an otherwise great project.

@Mein Name: There seems to be an issue with async child actions: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/13959251/async-and-await-in-mvc-4-controller https://aspnetwebstack.codeplex.com/workitem/601 I can't reproduce this on my machine, but fixing the problem is easy. Will apply the necessary changes soon.

Any ideas how to deal with this run-time error? HttpServerUtility.Execute blocked while waiting for an asynchronous operation to complete. Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.

when I trying to run this website Got this error. {"HttpServerUtility.Execute blocked while waiting for an asynchronous operation to complete."} MVC.Blog.Tags() MVC.Blog.PopularBlogEntries()

It doesn't matter, I managed to fix it. I would like to ask as well how it is possible to edit or insert pre-exisiting data on to the sql since otherwise the dates would be wrong.

I appreciate your help, but when ever I change the SHA1 password I get an error

@Dor: The default username and password is "admin". You could/should change this in web.config. See https://github.com/danielpalme/MVCBlog/blob/master/Setup/Readme.html for help.

Hey, I would like to use your blog engine as a base for my website. But I'm not managing to figure out how to login

Cool, thanks :D I student your code now haha :p

@Mika: These is no register functionality and no user administration. But you you could add new user to Web.config (<Authentication /> section) manually.

is it possible to create new users? :)
