Thread: Integrating blogengine.net with aspdotnetstorefront

Hi Guys,

I am trying to integrate BlogEngine.Net into aspdotnetstorefront.
I am facing problem in viewing the blogengine admin page.
When I have the blogengine admin folder named as admin aspdotnetstorefront redirects me to his admin signing page.

I renamed the blogengine admin folder now it redirects me to the site's signin page.
Can any one help me tweaking the urlrewrite?

All I want is if the url contains "blog" keyword the aspdotnetstorefront urlredirector should not redirect it to some other page.

Any help is highly appreciated, Many Thanks.

Are you putting BE.net in the root folder of your website or is it in a subdirectory?

I've got a couple of installs where BE.Net resides in subfolder (/blog/ or /customergalleries/) of the root where the store lives and have had no problem. I did need to add a few lines to the web.config for the blog as shown below but it seems to work fine.

C#/VB.NET Code:

<httpHandlers>
      <!-- MJGMod: Added to make this work underneath ASPDNSF -->
      <remove verb="*" path="action.axd" />
      <remove verb="*" path="execpackage.aspx" />
      <remove verb="*" path="googlemall.aspx" />
      <!-- End MJGMod -->
....
</httpHandlers> 


BTW - The blog resides in a virtual directory under the store, not in a physical directory. That way I can upgrade one or the other separately.

Best of luck to you!

Hi guys, were you able to get the extensions to show up in the extension manager? This is the only issue I have with the integration, I cant seem to figure out what the problem is.

I have it set up with blog as a physical path and one web.config file

Thanks

Any Updates on this?

I am also looking for blog functionality.

If you follow Ajay Matharu methods http://www.ajaymatharu.com/integrati...existing-site/ you can integrate blogengine. I have done this making the blog and ADNSF one application. you will use VS to map the correct path of the widgets etc to the correct path. I have my blog in a /blog folder. everything will work fine accept one thing your extensions will not show up. What happens in Blogengine is looking for all files that end with .dll in the bin folder, but since you combined the bin files the blogengine tries to use all files ending in .dll which of course included ADNSF DLL's. You must have a copy of the Blog Engine DLL in a different location and you must use the BE source code and map the path to the Blog Engine DLL.

I said everything will work fine but I guess I should not have said that. I do not use BE to manage the users/profiles I just removed those pages from the admin. I made a few changes on Add entry and some other pages, but I don't recall what changes exactly, unless these changes are made however you will have a couple pages in admin that will not work.
