Can you confirm if it can be made mandatory for a user to register before leaving comments on the EviBlog.

Cheers

I have a main content placeholder of phBody that I would like to stick the blog in but it doesn't appear to work. Does the Blog have to use it's own Blog Layout?

The reason for the null ref error came from the rss checkbox being checked, but no rss item had been created. Yay!

Makes it hard to figure out what I'm missing. Are isnull conditional statements outlawed in Europe? :) I’m getting a null reference error too, but mine is coming from Blog.Initialize() rather than GetCategories().

This module looks great, but I am getting the same null reference exception reported above. I receive it when I attempt to view the blog item that I created in the sitecore content tree. I created this item because after my installation (and full republish) there were no sample or test blogs created as indicated in the videos. This might be because my start path is different as I'm using an existing dev copy of sitecore rather than a fresh install. Any input is welcome as I would love to see this in action and utilize it if it fits all of our needs. Thanks! Hi Mark!

Did you modified anything or did the error occured after installation of the module? @ben637 In the system/modules/eviblog/blogs folder there needs to be an item based upon the settings (/sitecore/templates/Modules/EviBlog/Settings) template. The template has only one field which needs to contain the ID of the Blog item. @Paul I haven’t seen this before. Did you modified anything or did the error occured after installation of the module?

I am able to establish a connection but it says i have no active blogs. I have made sure i have ticked the livewritter option in the settings. I also noticed that in the video there appear to be items in the system/modules/eviblog/blogs folder. Mine is empty. I can only assume that there is supposed to be something in there. I also tried creating a proxy in there to see if that helped, but it didn't. Anyone had this problem? I have tried using the Eviblog recently and had problems getting it to work with LiveWritter.
