Setting ServiceProvider for BlogsManager CRUD - Sitefinity - General Discussions

Hello all,

I am trying to query blog posts using CRUD, I have managed to get the basic search done.

The problem that I am facing is that I have multiple service providers for my blogs (I have a custom service provider from here). When I ask for my blogs I only get blogs from the default provider, but I only want blogs from from the custom provider.

Code:

BlogsManager blogsManager = BlogsManager.GetManager();

List<BlogPost> blogPosblogsManagert = blogsManager.GetBlogPosts().Where(b => b.Status == ContentLifecycleStatus.Live).ToList();

I am able to find the provider(s) inside the blog manager, but I don't understand how to set it. (blogsManager.Provider / blogsManager.AllProviders)

Thank you,
Eduard

For anybody who is looking. I managed to solve this.

knowledgebase.progress.com/.../how-to-get-dynamic-content-items-from-all-types-and-providers-via-api

Code:

var providers = BlogsManager.GetManager().GetContextProviders();

BlogsManager blogManager;

var blogs = new List<Telerik.Sitefinity.Blogs.Model.BlogPost>();

foreach (var provider in providers)

if (provider.Name == "UrlNameProvider")

blogManager = BlogsManager.GetManager(provider.Name);

var tempList = blogManager.GetItems(typeof(Telerik.Sitefinity.Blogs.Model.BlogPost), string.Empty, string.Empty, 0, 0)

.OfType<Telerik.Sitefinity.Blogs.Model.BlogPost>()

.Where(i => i.Status == ContentLifecycleStatus.Live && i.Visible == true).ToList();

blogs.AddRange(tempList);
