NewsManager , some question...

Posted by Community Admin on 23-Nov-2010 00:00

Hello,
I'm tring to use the newsmanager (since I need some user to write the news and the others only to read them)... I've written this test application :

NewsManager newsManager = new NewsManager();

NewsItem newsItem = newsManager.CreateNewsItem(Guid.NewGuid());

newsItem.ApplicationName = "/News";

newsItem.Content = "Test news";

newsItem.Author = "Paolo";

newsItem.Title = "Paolo's";

newsItem.Summary = "Prova inserimento url";

newsItem.UrlName.Value = "newsprovaurl";

newsItem.DateCreated = DateTime.Now.Date;

//newsItem.AutoGenerateUniqueUrl = true;

newsItem.AllowComments = false;

newsManager.RecompileItemUrls(newsItem);

newsManager.Publish(newsItem);

newsManager.SaveChanges();

My questions are :

My news aren't published till I manually go to the page and publish dem (even if I use the publish method)
Why can't I set the AutoGenerateUniqueUrl to true?

I got this error message when I try to load the page that contains the news

The item does not have default url.

Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.

Exception Details: System.IO.InvalidDataException: The item does not have default url.

Source Error:

An unhandled exception was generated during the execution of the current web request. Information regarding the origin and location of the exception can be identified using the exception stack trace below.

Why?
Thanks

Hello Paolo,

Thank you for using our services.

The UrlName property needs to be set before you publish the item. you can try this code bellow:

public void CreateNews(string newsTitle, string newsContent, string author)

//Initializing the NewsManager with the default News provider

NewsManager manager = NewsManager.GetManager();

//creating a new news item

NewsItem item = manager.CreateNewsItem();

//setting the item's properties, content, etc.

item.Title = newsTitle;

item.Author = author;

item.Content = newsContent;

item.UrlName = "native-api";

item.ApprovalWorkflowState = "Published";

//generate URL and save changes

manager.RecompileItemUrls<NewsItem>(item);

//up to now, the item is in Draft State. We have to call Publish method to publish it.

item = manager.Publish(item);

manager.SaveChanges();

If you want the UrlName property to be automatically generated you can use the Fluent API approach:

public NewsItem CreateNewsItemFluent(string newsTitle, string newsContent, string author)

var item = App.WorkWith().NewsItem().CreateNew()

.Do(nI =>

nI.Title = newsTitle;

nI.Author = author;

nI.Content = newsContent;

)

//without the publish method, the news item is saved as draft.

.Publish()

.SaveAndContinue().Get();

return item;

Hi Paolo,

AutoGenerateUniqueUrl does not have a setter. You should use the code blow

          var parentID = new Guid("2230ac16-4cd1-4e8f-b45b-51ac13c7c968");
           var fluent = App.WorkWith();
           Guid DynamicGuid = Guid.NewGuid();
           var blog = fluent.Blog(parentID)
                                     .Get();
              fluent.BlogPost().CreateNew()
                                       .Do(bp =>

                                               bp.Parent = blog;
                                               bp.Title = DynamicGuid.ToString();
                                               bp.Content = "somecontent";
                                               bp.Description = "somedesc";
                                               bp.DateCreated = DateTime.UtcNow;
                                               bp.PublicationDate = DateTime.UtcNow.AddDays(10);
                                           )
                                           .SaveChanges();

Hi, how to set categories in this example code

Posted by Community Admin on 03-May-2011 00:00

Hello,

There is a data extension method

SetValue that you can use

1. Add reference to Telerik.Sitefinity.Model ( using Telerik.Sitefinity.Model;)

2. Call mynews.SetValue("Category", "name of existing category");
