Malformed "read more" link in blog module

Joe,

In 2.3.4.4 of mojoPortal, if you have the Blog module set to use excerpts, the "Read more" anchor tag for the post is malformed (it's missing the "a")

I've confirmed this happens on the demo site as well.

Thanks

Kevin

Re: Malformed "read more" link in blog module

Hi Kevin,

Thanks for the bug report I just fixed it in my copy so it will be fixed in the next release. I'm pretty sure it only affects posts where there is an explicitly created excerpt, it looks like if using auto-generated excerpts the code to make the link was correct in that part of the logic.

Best,

Joe

Re: Malformed "read more" link in blog module

If I wanted to fix this prior to the next release, could I just download the latest source, compile it, and install it, or would that be a Bad Idea (tm)?

I checked to see if this markup was in an ascx or aspx file somewhere, but it doesn't look like it. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Thanks,

Kevin

Re: Malformed "read more" link in blog module

Hi Kevin,

Yeah, unfortunately this one was in code not in markup so it would take a new build to solve it. I just pushed the changes up to the repository so you could build your own deployment package if you are confident in doing it. Its basically just rebuilding the solution in release mode and follow the instructions here:

http://www.mojoportal.com/deploymentfromwindows.aspx

Just keep in mind the default solution is configured for .NET 4, if you are hosted under 3.5 you would need to build the 3.5 solution and then use the Web.net35.config file renaming it to Web.config

Best,

Joe

Re: Malformed "read more" link in blog module

Actually now that I think of it, building your own right now might cause problems because in the repository we have updated to a newer version of AjaxControlToolkit and current releases of Form Wizard Pro and Event Calendar Pro are not compiled against the new version. It would not be a problem except for those products. I will need to make a new release of those products along with the next release of mojoPortal because those libraries changed and they depend on specific versions. I've already updated my local copies.

I will try to get an updated release out soon of both mojoPortal and updated products.

Best,

Joe

Re: Malformed "read more" link in blog module

Sounds good. I've learned my lesson regarding updating to the newset version as part of the roll-out to production.

It's one of those things that I knew in the back of my mind was a bad idea while I was doing it. smiley

Re: Malformed "read more" link in blog module

Hi Kevin,

I backported the fix into the version of the code corresponding to the 2.3.4.4 release, compiled it and sent you an updated mojoPortal.Features.UI.dll

It should solve the problem.

Best,

Joe
