dasBlog and DotNetNuke happy at last!

I’ve been using dasBlog to host my blog for over two years and been planning on using DotNetNuke to manage the content of my main site (yes I know I have no content there yet). I initially tried to use the blog module for DNN but I like the advanced features of dasBlog too much. I _really_ like the mail to weblog feature!

So, some months ago I attempted to get dasBlog running as a child app under DNN. I managed to get it mostly working. I had to copy over most of the DNN assemblies into the dasBlog bin folder and make some small tweaks to the dasBlog web.config. Even then, the admin bar would not work. I used this scenario for several months. However, today I decided to upgrade to DNN 4.3.3 and sat down to finally get dasBlog playing nice with DNN.

The first thing that fails when you attempt to load the blog website (dasBlog as a child web under DNN which is the root web) is a failure to find the namespaces listed in the DNN config file. My first attempt at solving this was to use the remove element for the pages/namespaces collection and remove all the DNN namespaces for the dasBlog web. This failed. So, to fix the error, I copied the DotNetNuke.dll assembly to the dasBlog bin folder.

The next error was a failure to find the UrlRewriter class. Previously I had just copied over all the DNN binaries to the dasBlog bin folder to silence these errors. This time, however, I added remove elements to the httpModules collection. One remove element fo reach DNN module listed. And that worked!

That’s all I had to do. So now, dasBlog works dandy as a child web under DNN 4.3.3. The admin bar is working as well (I’m writing this from the admin section).

Reggie:

We are attempting to do the same thing, only we would like to have the dasblog site run within the DNN framework (as a seperate page), showing the DNN menu bar, etc. The iFrame module will accomplish this, but it is not the ideal solution.

Could you send me an email. We’d be interested in talking with you further about how to get this to work.

So, to implement the WCF-based RSS and Atom endpoints for dasBlog, I used the new System.ServiceModel.Syndication namespace from the Orcas CTP, except that the engineers created a separate DLL (Microsoft.ServiceModel.Synidcation.dll) that contains all the classes and can be used on top of NetFX 3.0 (i.e. no Orcas dependencies).

#13 written by Brett 3 years ago

I have DNN 4.0.2 and das blog 2.0+ running as sub web – I did what you suggested to get DNN+dasblog to run by copying the DNN .dll’s to dasblog bin dir and adding the remove elements to the dasblog web.config – so all well "almost".

Only remiaing issue is comment approval…. User can use blog wirter or e-mail to manage blog posts… but comment approvals that come by das blog e-mail notification service do not work when clicked on – even if logged in as admin……

Any help much appreciated…

#15 written by 7 Day Complete Detox 3 years ago

dasBlog is a decent blogging engine originally created by Clemens Vasters. A nice thing that not many people seem to be aware of is that you can easily extend it by creating custom macros. Such a custom macro isn’t anything else than just a class library that you can hook into your copy of dasBlog and use it later on in one of the available templates that make up the website.
#16 written by Free Annual Report 3 years ago

From version 1.8 dasBlog of it supports custom macros through a plugin framework. I have released a set of plugins called dasBlog Extra Macros. I am also working on a few more macros. But in general there are not many who are using this feature.

Keeping a diary seems mostly an obsession of teenage girls, politicians, and people who are planning to write their memoirs at a later point in life. A diary is the place to write down a daily or weekly snapshot of very private thoughts that are nobody else’s business. No matter whether the diary is kept by a 15 year old girl who is desperately in love with rock star Robbie Williams, or by the German chancellor, all diaries have one thing in common—they are top secret, locked away and never shared with anyone.

If you’re a new install, get the Web-Files.zip, unzip it, and assuming you’ve got IIS and ASP.NET on your system run CreateDasBlogVdir.vbs and you should be set.

Making progress. I now have DasBlog running as an app but in the same app space as DNN 3. I put it into ~/DesktopModules/DasBlog.

I recently switched to Das Blog as my blogging software and so far I am loving it. It has all the features one expects and then some.Since DotNetNuke lacks a good blogger, I have started a project to make Das Blog into a DNN module. There are several challenges to this, and over the coming weeks, as I delve deeper into this project.
