Adding string field to blog

Hi there,

I'm trying to add an extra field to the blog, that takes a string like the title field. I've added the code to the various sections of the blog and the field in the DB. I manually added some text in to the DB field. When i click on edit blog the field i've added is populated by the text from the DB, however, when i try to update the blog i get the following error:

"parameter's name doesn't match cached parameters"

Can anybody point me in the direction of what else i need to change to get this to work? Also is there an easier way to add a field to the blog using one of the codesmith templates? Not 100% on using them yet.

Thanks in advance for any help

Re: Adding string field to blog

Hi

You must change in the following points:

1- mp_Blog_Update stored procedure in your database and add a new parameter for your new field.

2-UpdateBlog method in dbBlog:

SqlParameterHelper sph = new SqlParameterHelper(GetConnectionString(), "mp_Blog_Update", 14);
sph.DefineSqlParameter("@ItemID", SqlDbType.Int, ParameterDirection.Input, itemId);
.

.

.
add new line for your parameter.

 

Hope help you.

Re: Adding string field to blog

Hi A.Samarian,

Thanks for that! I had already added everything including modyfying the stored procedure, however, I had missed changing the following line for "13" to "14":

SqlParameterHelper sph = new SqlParameterHelper(GetConnectionString(), "mp_Blog_Update", 14);

Thanks for pointing that out, it's working now

Re: Adding string field to blog

I think you would be better of creating your own clone of the blog as an external project and using a different prefix for the stored procs and tables. I've done this before when one of my customers needed a custom blog. It basically copy paste, edit namespace and tables scripts, use a new guid for the feature guid and put all the files into a new folder.

The problem is by modifying the existing one you are basically forking the code and making it difficult for yourself when you want to upgrade mojoportal later on.

Best,

Joe
