Use FireBug or the Web Inspector and that'll tell you where the CSS comes from (https://developers.google.com/chrome-developer-tools/docs/elements).

Where can I change "BlogContent" div settings?

First of all forgive me if I'm just too dumb to figure out but I've looked everywhere, searched the forum, and probably overseen it. I'm a noob!

I want to change the margins of the blog content - in the code I see the element is

Where are these settings? I've look in every .css I came across.

Hey all,

Just a quick question.

Does PageCommentInterface::set_comments_require_login(true) remove the RECAPTCHA code?

I haven't yet found an easy solution to remove the RECAPTCHA codes from comment entry.

Thanks,

Re: Userform v0.5: Issue Adding Fields with SilverStripe 3

Thommo — Sun, 28 Apr 2013 08:48:26 +1200

Frustrated with this issue too.

I am just starting out with Silverstripe and wanted to make use of Userforms. Initially it didn't work and I read a post about installing the HEAD file. I managed to get it going.

Since then, I rebuilt the machine and have tried all manner of installations (include the HEAD file) but cannot create a field in the form. The drop down list box appears, but when I click 'Add', nothing happens. No error on screen and I can go to other tabs without issue.

I've flushed and dev/built until my fingers hurt. I've looked at the composer.json file and also find it is referencing files in the javascript folder that don't exist.

It feels that I'm almost there, but its just not happening.

Any ideas about what might be wrong, or about what I might be able to try..
(from ANYONE!!)

Thanks

I've just read through the FieldEditor.php file and saw (if I understand the code correctly) that if a field type is not selected, that an error message should be displayed to the user.

I went back and tried to create a form field without defining a type - same result as before (Nothing).. So I'm not even getting an error message..

Hi,
Yes, the framework was folder in the root directory. You know what I did? I found this on Google SapphireTest.php at Github.com under https://github.com/silverstripe-australia/silversocial/blob/master/framework/dev/SapphireTest.php and have them copied to the old file. Now everything works and the website and the blog you can call. I am so glad that you gave me suggested this idea with SapphireTest.php.

Now I want to remove from the blog comments the NoFollow attribute. I'll probably open a new thread here in the forum.

You tell me, you have to install the plugin after each command dev / build run? I hope that I will have no more problems. Thank you for your time and help.

Do you have two framework folders in the root directory? Looks like it's trying to redeclare a class somewhere http://internet-blogger.org/dev/build

Hi guys,
just wondering why the most recent version of blog & widget module uses private static $db rather than public? Are all objects moving towards this?

EDIT: is this just to stop people using the master branches? I notice the other branches don't appear to have this.

Sorry if it's been answered before, a quick Google and glance on the forums didn't reveal the answer.

Extension - Hide BlogEntry from CMS sitetree (SS3)

Lightning — Sun, 21 Apr 2013 20:17:42 +1200

Maybe someone implemented this before, but I made a small extension that hides BlogEntry items (except modified, drafts) from the CMS sitetree and adds the management/creation of it to a seperate BlogHolder tab 'Blog Entries'.

Requires: SS 3+ and Blog module
Extract it to folder 'extension-hidepages' (CSS relies on it)

2 extension classes are attached to 'BlogHolder' and 'BlogEntry' in _config/_config.yml

BlogHolder:
extensions:
- CMSHideBlogEntryExtension
BlogEntry:
extensions:
- CMSFormatGridFieldTreeTitleExtension

I couldn't figure out how to make the BlogEntry Title searchable in the GridField. Maybe someone can help me with that?

ps. The extension is quiet generic, except from the name of the extra BlogHolder tab and Griedfield, which means that it can be used for other page types as well.

Make sure you have downloaded the correct version of the blog for your need. Using the new composer functionality makes this easier, but you can check by hand. If you're running 3.0 use 0.6 - https://github.com/silverstripe/silverstripe-blog/tree/0.6

Re: [SOLVED] Multilanguage blog

siorp — Fri, 05 Apr 2013 20:58:52 +1300

I solved the problem of the blog translation.
In the lang folder it was missing the YAML file I fond at https://github.com/silverstripe/silverstripe-blog.
In fact, "by default, SilverStripe 3.x uses a YAML format" (http://doc.silverstripe.org/framework/en/topics/i18n).

So:
1.
In my my site/_config.php I've set:

i18n::set_locale('de_DE');
Translatable::set_default_locale('de_DE');
Translatable::set_allowed_locales(array('de_DE', 'it_IT', 'en_US'));
// Important: Call add_extension() after setting the default locale
Object::add_extension('SiteTree', 'Translatable');
Object::add_extension('SiteConfig', 'Translatable');

2.
I added the following to my Page_Controller's init() function:

if($this->dataRecord->hasExtension('Translatable')) {
i18n::set_locale($this->dataRecord->Locale);
}

3.
I copied the de.yml file to the lang folder of the blog module.

Sorting Future Posts

2.4.7 > Hi I'm using the parent-child structure to create a calendar that takes events specified by the user. So I have a calendar holder and then child calendar events. However my difficulty is only showing posts that are close to the current date as the user will input all events in one sitting thus causing my current function to only display the first 3 or last 3 events - dynamically that is showing 3 posts that are in the future from now. These posts will then change in a months time to the other events that are in the future. is it possible to use strtotime('now') and this function, replacing "StartDate ASC" with the current date and displaying future events relevant to today.

function LatestEvents($num=1) {
   $news = DataObject::get_one("CalendarHolder");
   return ($news) ? DataObject::get("CalendarEntry", "ParentID > 0", "StartDate ASC", "", $num) : false;
   }

Any help is much appreciated

Don't forget to adjust \blog\templates\Includes\BlogSummary.ss, for example:

   <% else %>
         <% if BlogImage %>

Make "lang" folder under mysite

and make the locale file like de_DE.php in it

and add to that files lines like so:

<?php

global $lang;

$lang['de_DE']['BlogTree.ss']['VIEWINGPOSTEDIN'] = 'the translation for: Viewing entries posted in';
$lang['de_DE']['otherblogtemplate.ss']['SOMEODTHERTRANSLATEBLELINE'] = 'Some other translation for the line';

Also add this lines to your mysite/code/Page.php

if($this->dataRecord->hasExtension('Translatable')) {
i18n::set_locale($this->dataRecord->Locale);
}
}

Action 'post' isn't allowed on class BlogHolder_Controller

susgeek — Mon, 18 Mar 2013 09:53:09 +1300

I am using Silverstripe 3.0.5 and I installed the most recent version of the blog module from https://github.com/silverstripe/silverstripe-blog

I can add posts using the [mysite/CurrentBlogHolder]/post link, and unpublish posts just fine while logged into the CMS as an administrator.

According to the Readme file,

"[site/CurrentBlogHolder]/post (this is a good url to bookmark if you will be using it to blog regularly). This shows a blog entry form, which requires a subject and some content at the least. Clicking "Post blog entry" takes the user back to the blog. A login form will show if the user is not logged in."

So to test it, after logging out, I went to [mysite/CurrentBlogHolder]/post expecting to be redirected to the login screen, but I received this error:
Action 'post' isn't allowed on class BlogHolder_Controller

I have to explicitly go to the login page, and log in as an administrator, then return to the post link. Logging in as a content editor does not remove the error.

I would prefer to give my users only content editor priviledges, and also I would prefer they only use the post to blog link - I don't want them monkeying around in the admin panel. I want it to work as indicated in the Readme file - they just use the post link, and are redirected to log in, then redirected back to the post page.

What am I missing?

Re: Selecting Particular Posts [SOLVED]

Hi Shluckey,

If you're still looking for an answer to this you could use the following to get 2nd post.

function LatestBlogPosts() {
$news = DataObject::get_one("BlogHolder");
return ($news) ? DataObject::get("BlogEntry", "ParentID = $news->ID", "Date DESC", "", "2,1") : false;
}

Using "2,1" in the limit clause tells MySQL to return one record at the second position. So to get the third item you would use "3,1".

Hope this helps.

Pigeon — Wed, 13 Feb 2013 22:00:32 +1300

Hi Juan,

This sounds like something to do with versioning.

There may not be an entry in BlogEntry_Live with ID 739, but that is because the IDs of the *_Live tables aren't 1-1 with the IDs in the draft tables. Instead, RecordID is used in the *_Live tables.

Versioning should take care of this for you with your DO::get() queries, so, is the blog post you're trying to filter published?

If it isn't, publish it or view the site as draft mode.

If it is, then try BlogEntry.RecordID != xxx

If that still isn't working, make sure your site is in 'dev' mode, then add a 'die;' imediately after the DO::get() that isn't working and add '?showqueries' to the end of the url, this will print out all the SQL queries that are run. Then copy the LAST query on the page, save it into a txt file and upload it as an attachment with the next post you leave here.

Dan

Hi Juan,

I'll explain your problem here and how to fix it specific to SilverStripe and SQL.

Behind the scenes when you call DataObject::get, lots of joins happen. Because the same column name is sometimes shared between lots of tables, the SQL engine doesn't know which table's column you're referring to if there's two of them.

Luckily, SilverStripe handles this for you easily. In this instance all you need to to do is change this:

$posts = DataObject::get('BlogEntry','ParentID IN('.$idList.') AND ID != '. (int) $postID,'Date DESC','',$limit);

In to this:

$posts = DataObject::get('BlogEntry','ParentID IN('.$idList.') AND "BlogEntry".ID != '. (int) $postID,'Date DESC','',$limit);

Notice how I've added "BlogEntry". at the front of the ID? This tells SilverStripe's ORM that you're specifically talking about BlogEntries, not any of the related tables needed to build your data model.

While everyone's up for helping with even the simplest problem, it's safe to say that everyone would also be really grateful if you took the time to try a few things yourself: What Have You Tried?
