Since the blog posts are standard Kentico CMS documents, you can create, modify, read and delete them using standard API for documents. You can find more details and examples in chapter Content management internals and the subsequent chapters.
The following examples show how you can work with comments using the API:
Adding a new comment
[C#]
using CMS.CMSHelper; using CMS.GlobalHelper; using CMS.TreeEngine; using CMS.SiteProvider; using CMS.Blogs;
...
// Use a valid alias path of a testing post string postAlias = "/TestingBlog/October-2007/TestingPost";
// Prepare the TreeProvider (it must be initialized with user information when editing // document structure) UserInfo ui = UserInfoProvider.GetUserInfo("administrator"); TreeProvider tree = new TreeProvider(ui);
CMS.TreeEngine.TreeNode postNode = tree.SelectSingleNode(CMSContext.CurrentSiteName, postAlias, TreeProvider.ALL_CULTURES, true, null, false); if (postNode != null) { // Add new comment to the post BlogCommentInfo commentObj = new BlogCommentInfo(); commentObj.CommentDate = DateTime.Now; commentObj.CommentPostDocumentID = postNode.DocumentID; commentObj.CommentText = "Some comment text"; commentObj.CommentUserID = ui.UserID; commentObj.CommentUserName = (ui.UserNickName != "") ? ui.UserNickName : ui.FullName;
// Save comment BlogCommentInfoProvider.SetBlogCommentInfo(commentObj); } |
Editing an existing comment
[C#]
using CMS.CMSHelper; using CMS.GlobalHelper; using CMS.TreeEngine; using CMS.SiteProvider; using CMS.Blogs;
...
// Use a valid alias path of a testing post string postAlias = "/TestingBlog/October-2007/TestingPost";
// Prepare the TreeProvider (it must be initialized with user information when editing // document structure) UserInfo ui = UserInfoProvider.GetUserInfo("administrator"); TreeProvider tree = new TreeProvider(ui); DataSet ds = null;
// Get the parent post document CMS.TreeEngine.TreeNode postNode = tree.SelectSingleNode(CMSContext.CurrentSiteName, postAlias, TreeProvider.ALL_CULTURES, true, null, false); if (postNode != null) { // Get all post comments ds = BlogCommentInfoProvider.GetPostComments(postNode.DocumentID, false); if (!DataHelper.DataSourceIsEmpty(ds)) { // Set all post comments as approved foreach (DataRow dr in ds.Tables[0].Rows) { // Edit comment and save it BlogCommentInfo commentObj = new BlogCommentInfo(dr); commentObj.CommentApprovedByUserID = ui.UserID; BlogCommentInfoProvider.SetBlogCommentInfo(commentObj); } } } |
Deleting a comment
[C#]
using CMS.CMSHelper; using CMS.GlobalHelper; using CMS.TreeEngine; using CMS.SiteProvider; using CMS.Blogs;
...
// Use a valid alias path of a testing post string postAlias = "/TestingBlog/October-2007/TestingPost";
// Prepare the TreeProvider (it must be initialized with user information when editing // document structure) UserInfo ui = UserInfoProvider.GetUserInfo("administrator"); TreeProvider tree = new TreeProvider(ui); DataSet ds = null;
// Get the parent post document CMS.TreeEngine.TreeNode postNode = tree.SelectSingleNode(CMSContext.CurrentSiteName, postAlias, TreeProvider.ALL_CULTURES, true, null, false); if (postNode != null) { // Get all post comments ds = BlogCommentInfoProvider.GetPostComments(postNode.DocumentID, false); if (!DataHelper.DataSourceIsEmpty(ds)) { // Delete all post comments foreach (DataRow dr in ds.Tables[0].Rows) { // Delete comment BlogCommentInfo commentObj = new BlogCommentInfo(dr); BlogCommentInfoProvider.DeleteBlogCommentInfo(commentObj.CommentID); } } } |
