Blog Sites

What blog sites can you use with iWeb '09?

Hi ,
For your issue, it is impossible that merge two SharePoint 2010 Sites directly. For a workaround, you can refer to the steps as below:
If these two blog sites are not in a same site collection, you need to move one blog site for making these two blog sites are in same site collection. You can use PowerShell cmdlets to export and import the
blog Site or the SharePoint Content Deployment Wizard Tool:
http://spdeploymentwizard.codeplex.com/ .
Then you need to copy all the users from one blog to another blog site. You can refer to these articles:
http://suryapulipati.blogspot.com/2012/11/get-all-sharepoint-users-and-groups.html and
http://get-spscripts.com/2010/07/adding-groups-with-permission-levels-to.html.
Finally you need to go to the site collection where the two blog sites are located in ->Site Settings -> Site Content and Structure, copy the content you want to retain.

SharePoint 2013 Blog Site not showing current navigation(Left Navigation)

I have created a blog site but blog pages are not showing my current navigation, it has got its own left navigation, Can i show left (current) navigation? I am trying to find the page layout being used for blog items but unable to find.

Hi,
By design, there is a left navigation in the blog site. Like the following image show.
Please check whether there is CSS style in site to hide the left navigation.
If you don’t want to use the default navigation, we can also customize a new one.
We can use SharePoint designer 2013 to modify it(In /_catalogs/masterpage/seattle.master ).

Issue with AjaxControlToolkit for SharePoint 2013 Blog site template.

Hi,
Please find below the details of issue -
History - We are working with SharePoint 2013 and we are using AjaxControlToolkit in our project. Basically this is a migration project from MOSS to SharePoint 2013. So we have migrated code MOSS to SharePoint 2013. Previously in MOSS project, AjaxControlToolkit
was used so after migrating we have also used AjaxControlToolkit with updated version which can work in SharePoint 2013. This is working fine now.
Scenario - There is one web application in SharePoint 2013 farm. Under this web application there are two site collections. One site collection is created with Team site template and second site collection is created with Blog site template.
There are three feature in our wsp that we have created. One feature is at web application scope (which will do web.config modifications and it will add below entry in web.config file through SPWebConfigModification in section 'configuration/system.web/compilation/assemblies'
<add assembly="AjaxcontrolToolkit, Version=4.5.7.725, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=28f01b0e84b6d53e" />
). And there are two site collection features.
Now when we deploy our solution (wsp) to web application in SharePoint 2013 farm and activate the Web.Config modification feature which is at web application level, it has added above mentioned entry in web.config file.
Our application in first site collection is working fine which we are expecting but in the second site collection which is created using out of box Blog site template, 'comment box' and Post button are invisible as shown in below screen shot -
If we remove below entry from web.config file -
<add assembly="AjaxcontrolToolkit, Version=4.5.7.725, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=28f01b0e84b6d53e" />
and refresh the Blog site page then the Comment box and Post button is appearing again as shown in below screen shot -
We also tried with updated versions of AjaxControlToolkit (Version=4.5.7.1005 & 4.5.7.1213) but no success.
I will highly appreciate if you could help me in this.
Thanks for your time.
Thanks & Regards,
Rajendra Gaikwad.

Hi,
As you said, the issue only comes with the Blog site template.
I suggest you take a look at this blog about how to make Ajax Control Toolkit work with SharePoint 2013:

Issue in Custom Blog site definition based on SharePoint 2010 blog site definition after migrating the sites to SharePoint 2013 and site collection upgrade

I have created a custom blog site definition using SharePoint 2010 blog site definition with Configuration ID 31 in onet.xml (new value). This was working fine for SharePoint 2010.
We created new SharePoint 2013 farm and deployed the all Custom solutions in
14/15 folders. After migrating the sites to SharePoint 2013 using Content DB approach, site created previously using my custom definition are working fine.
But after running site collection upgrade these sites stop working. When I post a comment then comments not getting listed on post detail page. However comments are getting added to Comments List but
PostTitle column of Comment is not getting populated.
Also, when we create a new site in SharePoint 2013 using my custom blog template then that is also not getting provisioned. default.aspx and look-up between post and comment list are not working.
If any one has faced such issue then please share your findings and any solution to fix this.
Thanks in Advance :)

Hi ,
According to your description, my understanding is that the blog based on custom blog site definition didn’t work correctly after migrating custom blog site definition to SharePoint 2013.
If you customized the Onet.xml file in a previous version's site definition, you should modify some sections in the file to work in the current version, like <BaseTypes> and <ListTemplate> etc. More information, please refer
to the link below:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/aa543837(v=office.14).aspx
For that the PostTitle column of Comment is not getting populated, please try to modify the view, then compare the result.
I hope this helps.
Thanks,

Can't post comments to Blog site

Since .Mac switched to Me.com, I cannot see comments on my blog site.
I can post/publish to the site from iWeb and others have said they can post comments (using Firefox, but not Safari). But when I go to view the comments, I get an error message:
# Exception: TypeError
# Message : Value undefined (result of expression postLinks.forEach) is not object.
# File : Comments.js, Line:138
I have not done anything differently in how I'm publishing the page.
I am using Safari 3.1.2 to view the site.
I am using iWeb '08 2.0.4 to publish the site.
I have also tried to use Firefox (3.0.1) to see the comments, and get this error message:
# Exception: TypeError
# Message : postLinks.forEach is not a function
I can see the comments if I open iWeb and read down the page. I cannot post comments using iWeb though.
Any ideas?

Error in Archives data in SharePoint 2013 blog site

Hi,
I have created a blog site in SharePoint 2013.
Here when i clicked on the month of june, it shows the header as May but showing the posts of july.
Is there any solution for this issue.
Please help.
Thank you

Hi,
I checked the link for the archives, the date interval for the month of June is "31 may 2014 to 30 June 2014".
Is it possible to change these date interval?
Please help.
Thank you.

I used to have an RSS feed to a blog site which is protected by a username and password rembered by Firefox. I am now asked for those details when trying to enter the blog and despite entering them correctly I am denied entry.

My old server (5.5. years) was failing me and loosing some random items. I have accessed this blog site for the past three years and during that period the access passwords and user names have been changed several times. Each time I asked Firefox to remember the correct details and I gained entry with no problems. Before I replaced the equipment I was continually refused entry despite entering all the correct information. I received a message telling me that I was either not entering the correct information (which according to the Blog editor I was) or that my server did not know how to connect to the RSS feed.

Try BottomFeeder for those live feeds.

Link Title field to custom display form in SharePoint 2013 blog site

Hi,
I have blog site in sharepoint 2013.
I want to display the item in read only view of the selected item.So I have created one custom display form.
Now I want to link this display form with the Title Field.
So that when user click on the title field, the display form should show to view only the item and if the user is approver, can approve also.
Please help me to achieve this.
waiting for your quick response.
Thank you!

Hi ,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to display custom display form when users click on the title field.
For achieving your demand, you need to implement an ihttpmodule and intercept the request. For more information, you can refer to the code as below:
private void context_BeginRequest(object sender, EventArgs e)
HttpApplication application = sender as HttpApplication;
if (application != null && application.Context != null && application.Request != null)
HttpRequest request = application.Request;
HttpResponse response = application.Response;
if (request.Url.ToString().ToLower().Contains(http://yoursite/libraryname))
response.Redirect(newlocationurl);

Limiting Body size post list in SharePoint 2013 blog site

Hi,
I want to fix the length of the body content in the post list in blog site in SharePoint 2013.
And also i want to set the limit to show number of blog in the home page.
Please help.
Thank you!

Open page in SharePoint Designer.
When the default.aspx page is opened we can see that the web part is actually a XlstListViewWebPart. Taking a look at the XML Definition we can see that there is a field called RowLimit:

Display count for each category in sharePoint 2013 blog site

Hi,
I have added category list in the left side as web part in SharePoint 2013 blog site.
Here i want to show the count for each category. And on clicking on the category, it should show the blog posts related to that category.
Is there any way to do this.
Please help.
Thank you.

Hi Aditi,
To show item counts on a list, you might need to query the list by title in the navigation menu and retrieve item count in the list, then use CSS to add the number to navigation menu. You need to use Client Object Model and JQuery.

SharePoint 2013 Blog Site Comments permissions

Hello,
Have researched this and all articles I can find so far give identical advice.
Blog site (subsite of root SiteCollection) is populated by a manager of the company. He wants everyone to see it (default "Visitors") and leave a Comment (default "Members").
I have customized List permissions for Comments as Visitors, broken inherited perms with parents to be sure the List perms are specific to Visitors of the List, and Visitors -- expectedly -- cannot post a Comment or see other Blog admin links (Add Post,
Manage Comments etc).
When adding everyone to the Members group, then customizing under Advanced Settings so they can only edit their OWN content, the users can naturally post Comments. But as Members, they are still allowed to Manage posts, Comments,
etc. Too many perms.
Visitor perms = insufficient
Customized "Members" perms = too much granted.
Need to constrain perm traits to posting/editing own Comments and nothing more except Read.
Despite List perm customization, and Advanced Settings customization, this Member perm still grants waayyyyyyy too many perms. I simply cannot permit every user to create posts, manage comments, etc.
Thank you in advance.

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you want to customize the permission in the blog site.
It is recommend customize your own permission level for this scenario.
What’s more, to enable users can only edit their own items, we can set the item level permission in the post list advance settings.

Sharepoint 2013 Blog site landing page

On a blog site, you are shown categories, archives, then your posts, then blog tools and rss feeds. Is there an easy way to increase the width of the post size. If you increase the size of the web part the posts do not increase.

Use the developer tools and identify the class and increase the width.

SharePoint 2013 Blog Site or Discussion LIst - Comment on a Comment

Hi,
Quick question. Is anyone aware of a plug-in or feature or new blog add-in for SP 2013 that allows "comments on comments". From what I can tell in the blog site and discussion list, you can only comment on the original comment.
You cannot comment on someone else's comment as in a tiered fashion.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
Thanks! Patti N.

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you want to be able to comment on someone else’s comments displayed in a hierarchical structure.
In SharePoint 2013, it’s by default that the Discussion Board list’s replies are in the “Flat” view, and it won’t display the replies in a hierarchical structure.
However, the Discussion Board list have another default view is the “Threaded” view, and it can display replies in a hierarchical structure.
Therefore, I recommend that you can directly modify the default view of the Discussion Board list’s replies to the “Threaded” view to achieve your requirement.
For SharePoint 2013 Blog site, as a workaround, I suggest that you also can create a Discussion Board list into it to implement this function.

Modify/Change the CSR for view page for a POST in a Blog Site.

I am working on CSR to add a button and change the look and feel of like
and comment button for a Blog Site. Currently I am able to achieve
this, and it is functional(Button).
I am using the below (JSLink) code to achieve it.
    (function () {
        var overrideCtx = {};
        overrideCtx.Templates = {};
        overrideCtx.Templates.Fields = { 'Body':{'View': CBody} };
       console.log("Registering CSR");
        SPClientTemplates.TemplateManager.RegisterTemplateOverrides(overrideCtx);
    function CBody(ctx) {
        var ret = ctx.CurrentItem.Body + "<b>" +
    "<button onclick='myfunc(ctx);' type='button' >Report Abuse</button>" + "</b><hr/>" ;
        return ret;
Now I should make it look like this.
is there a way that i can append a button after the Comment button of Image 1, after that manipulating css will be easier.
I tried to override like below,
    overrideCtx.Templates.Fields = { 'PostCategory':{'View': CDate} };
    function CDate(ctx) {
        var ret = "<br> <b>" +
    "<button onclick='func(ctx);' type='button' >One More Test</button>" + "</b><hr/>" ;
        return ret;
But for my luck it didn't worked at all.
what field should I override in my case. CSR is under documented for
SharePoint please suggest me which field/Tag/View/Whatever is need to
overridden.

Hi,
The Client Side Rendering(CSR) may not be able to meet your requirement as the “Comment” button is not a field in the Post.aspx page, it just work as a button that when we click
on it, the TextBox “Add a comment” will be focused for waiting user input.
A workaround is that we can just apply JavaScript to this page to add elements you want behind the “Comment” button.
For how to find a specific element in a page and inject HTML on a page, you can take a look at the links below for a quick start:
