Thursday, December 24, 2009 by Per Ploug Hansen

It's only 24 days since we coined the idea of improving the Blog 4 Umbraco package as a christmas calendar. Today we're releasing what we've accomplished so far - and it's quite a lot so in case you've missed anything here's a summary:

In addition to the work done by Per Ploug Hansen, Tim Geyssens and yours truly, several community members have contributed with code, testing and skins. Morten Bock, Warren Buckley and Thomas Höhler have contributed with xslt improvements and Ian Houghton, Warren Buckley, Jason Prothero and Alan Ballard have contributed with skins with many more community members working on more. Awesome.

You can install the final version of Blog 4 Umbraco version 2.0 with just one click from the package repository or download the package from Our Umbraco. You can download the documentation from Our Umbraco and you can download the full source of the project from CodePlex. You can also download the nightly updates from our build server.

Merry Christmas!

    I guess there will be a need for a forum to support this package. How about adding the project to our.umbraco.org projects?

    Happy Newyear!

    Does the comment moderation work in this latest blog package update?

    I note the documentation link for comment moderation is dead, so if you can point me in the right direction to another link, I would be very grateful.

    @Andrew, yes it should work, but you need to have a valid api key. Check out the documentation on http://our.umbraco.org/projects/blog-4-umbraco

    I've updated blog package v2 for comment moderation, so that all comments have to be moderated before it is shown on website. I would love to share, as I think my implemenation is quite clean. Can I upload it somewhere @Tim for your review?

    Cheers
