Server Error in '/' Application.

---

I'm having the exact same problem!

I'm using Umbraco 4.7 as well. Exact same error apart from different Node ID

Same here, having the same problem. I backed up my production data and restored it to a localDB in order to test 4.7 before upgrade.

Same problem.  I'm still looking for the cause, but for now, there's a workaround:

After clicking Save & Publish (and getting the error), refresh the node list from the blog root.  Navigate down to the blog entry in the appropriate date folder and click to edit the content.  If you look at the general Properties tab, you should see the link to document listed as just a hash.

Click Save & Publish again (should ALSO get an error).  Once you do this, though, and reload the content by clicking it again from the tree, the properties will show the correct url, and it will now appear in the blog lists on the site.

Annoying, since I can't train users around this (well, I can, but it makes Umbraco look unpolished).

Is there a move to port blog4umbraco over entirely to razor?  I've found the razor syntax much easier to work with than xslt (which is the only reason I've returned to umbraco after trying it 2 years ago).  It would be great to see the project tidied up (especially w.r.t. metawebblog api access!)

Hello Trevor!

I have downloaded the newest source code as you described. But i am having trouble compiling some of the solutions.

Could you please explain exactly what solution i need to compile? And also which DLL's i need to deploy and where i need to deploy them to?

I had the same problem, and downloaded the latest source code. Compiled and replaced the dll's, and now its finally works :)

hi Trevor Loader, which changeset you downloaded?

i see the project structure has changed mostly after v2.026 release.

By the way, is there anyone who downloaded the latest source code ( with changeset 67452 by codegecko on Feb 6) and mannually installed b4u with new features?

hi again, i downloaded  changeset 51174, it is the one before codegecko branch that has many major difference than v2.026.

i debuged the code and exception is thrown while executing the bold statement below.

Document_AfterPublish method is of  Umlaut.Umb.Blog.EventHandlers. Autoping class.

 void Document_AfterPublish(Document sender, umbraco.cms.businesslogic.PublishEventArgs e) {

            if (sender.ContentType.Alias == "BlogPost") {                

                string urls = GetValueRecursively("pingServices", sender.Id);

                if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(urls)) {

                    XmlDocument xd = new XmlDocument();

                    try { xd.LoadXml(urls); }

                    catch { }

                    string blogName = GetValueRecursively("blogName", sender.Id);

                    string blogUrl = umbraco.library.NiceUrlFullPath(sender.Id);                    

                    string currentDomain = HttpContext.Current.Request.ServerVariables["SERVER_NAME"].ToLower();

                    if (!UmbracoSettings.UseDomainPrefixes)

                        blogUrl = "http://" + currentDomain + blogUrl;

                    foreach (XmlNode link in xd.SelectNodes("//link [@type = 'external']")) {

                        string ping = link.Attributes["link"].Value;

                        //Log.Add(LogTypes.Debug, sender.Id, ping + " n:" + blogName + " u:" + blogUrl);

                        PingService(ping, blogName, blogUrl);

                    }

                }                

            }

if you are not using ping services in your blog, you can easily comment the all method code

or just the bold statement, so you can temporarily fix the issue.

i could handle it like that at the moment, hope it helps you too.

is there anyone have an exact solution about that? let me know about it.

I'm working on it :)

I refactored the method code like below (i added the bold ones), this is also a solution, but not an exact one.

Because library.NiceUrlFullPath(sender.Id); returns "yoursite.com/#" url and it goes to ping services with wrong one.

So if you publish your post twice, the second time right url willl be generated.  

void Document_AfterPublish(Document sender, umbraco.cms.businesslogic.PublishEventArgs e) {

            if (sender.ContentType.Alias == "BlogPost") {                

                string urls = GetValueRecursively("pingServices", sender.Id);

                if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(urls)) {

                    XmlDocument xd = new XmlDocument();

                    try { xd.LoadXml(urls); }

                    catch { }

                    string blogName = GetValueRecursively("blogName", sender.Id);

                    string currentDomain = HttpContext.Current.Request.ServerVariables["SERVER_NAME"].ToLower();

                    string blogUrl;

                    try

                    {

                        blogUrl = library.NiceUrlFullPath(sender.Id);

                        if (!UmbracoSettings.UseDomainPrefixes) blogUrl = "http://" + currentDomain + blogUrl;

                    }

                    catch (Exception)

                    {

                        Log.Add(LogTypes.Debug, sender.Id, "Cound not get 'NiceUrlFullPath' from current application");

                        blogUrl = "http://" + currentDomain + "/" + library.NiceUrl(sender.Id);

                    }                            

                    foreach (XmlNode link in xd.SelectNodes("//link [@type = 'external']"))

                    {

                        string ping = link.Attributes["link"].Value;

                        //Log.Add(LogTypes.Debug, sender.Id, ping + " n:" + blogName + " u:" + blogUrl);

                        PingService(ping, blogName, blogUrl);

                    }

                }                

            }

        }

Note: I got that solution from source code in one of the changesets in codeplex project page.

Has anyone either got a proper compiled version that doesn't have this error or can someone describe the steps needed to compile the project and which files i'd need to copy across please?

Thanks

Chris

Hey Chris,

As the starter of this post thought I might as well comment. To be honest I gave up with Blog4Umbraco but prehaps you could try a later version from here http://blog4umbraco.codeplex.com/SourceControl/list/changesets ?

You might also want to check out http://our.umbraco.org/projects/starter-kits/ublogsy

Thanks Rich,

I have seen the ublogsy but i need to do some custom development and i have no experience of Razor to do what i need to do...

Cheers

Chris

Rich, uBlogsy v1.xx is not razor based...only v2Beta is...so it might be worth a look.

Whoops - I meant Chris!

is working on a reply...
