I had got a dream to start my own organization, but I did not have enough of cash to do it. Thank heaven my colleague proposed to take the business loans. Therefore I used the sba loan and made real my desire.

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

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

You can “fix” the null reference exception error by creating a “Categories” folder under your blog node.

The eviblog module does not play nicely when it is installed in an existing sitecore instance. I tried installing the package into the starterkit and it did not work. Any ideas?

Hi Mark! 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!

I’m interested in seeing some examples of this blog in action.

If anyone has this up and running, could you post your URL?

Thanks!

@Paul I haven’t seen this before. 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.

I have tried using the Eviblog recently and had problems getting it to work with LiveWritter. 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’ve been testing the EviBlog module and it looks good to me. I noticed that when user submits his/her comments, the comments are immediately available on the blog, even though workflow is in place for the blog comments template. Is it possible to only publish the comments when the workflow is completed?

Very nice! I really like the integration that has been done with Sitecore.
