Hi Helena,

Thanks for your reply, eventually I've managed a workarond. For other users who would like to add blogposts automatically under a year instead of a month, below is the changed code in edit.aspx.cs which might have some unnecessary code left behind, but it works.

However, there is another thing:

When changing the already existing date of a blogpost or the startdate of a blogmonth, Kentico doesn't move the underlying documents if the new date isn't valid anymore according to the rules. These rules only apply for adding a new document. Any ideas?

Best regards,

Gabriëlle

// Special treatment for blog post (ensure parent month)
if (newdocument && (ci != null) && (ci.ClassName.ToLower() == "cms.blogpost"))
{
// Get parent node
node = tree.SelectSingleNode(nodeId, TreeProvider.ALL_CULTURES);
if (node != null)
{
// Get parent blog ID when inserting post under blog month
if (node.NodeClassName.ToLower() == "cms.blogmonth")
{
node = tree.SelectSingleNode(node.NodeParentID, TreeProvider.ALL_CULTURES);
if (node != null)
{
parentId = node.NodeID;
}
}
// Get parent blog ID when inserting post under blog
else
{
parentId = nodeId;
}

if (node != null)
{
// Validate the form first
if (formElem.BasicForm.ValidateData())
{
System.Globalization.CultureInfo cultureInfo = new System.Globalization.CultureInfo(CMSContext.CurrentUser.PreferredCultureCode);

// Prepare the data
DateTime startDate = ValidationHelper.GetDateTime(formElem.BasicForm.GetFieldValue("BlogpostDate"), DateTimePicker.NOT_SELECTED);
string monthName = startDate.Year.ToString();
startDate = new DateTime(startDate.Year, 1,1);

// Check existing
DataSet existingDS = tree.SelectNodes(CMSContext.CurrentSite.SiteName, node.NodeAliasPath + "/%", TreeProvider.ALL_CULTURES, true, "cms.blogmonth", "BlogMonthStartingDate = '" + TableManager.GetDateTimeString(startDate)+ "'", null, -1, false);
if (DataHelper.DataSourceIsEmpty(existingDS))
{
// Create the month node
node = new CMS.TreeEngine.TreeNode("CMS.BlogMonth", tree);
node.DocumentCulture = CMSContext.CurrentUser.PreferredCultureCode;

// Insert the month
node.SetValue("BlogMonthName", monthName);
node.SetValue("BlogMonthStartingDate", startDate);
node.DocumentName = monthName;
node.Insert(parentId);

this.formElem.NodeId = node.NodeID;
}
else
{
// Set existing
this.formElem.NodeId = ValidationHelper.GetInteger(existingDS.Tables[0].Rows[0]["NodeID"], 0);
}
