Hi Elias

Every module in Cuyahoga can use its own data access solution. A perfect example is this forum. It uses DataReaders and SP's.

But, when developing new modules, i highly recommend NHibernate. Once you get a little bit familiar with it, it's so much more fun developing and saves you a lot of cumbersome work.

Hi Thomas

Yaf requires some very little changes (version 0.9.9). I attached the changed files. Config.cs and Data.cs belong in the /classes folder and ForumPage.cs in the /pages folder.

Besides that, there is a Cuyahoga.Modules.YetAnotherForum module in the SVN repository: http://tijnthuus.demon.nl/svn/repos/cuyahoga/trunk/Yaf/. You can obtain that with a subversion client like tortoisesvn.

- You have to build both, the changed yaf sources and the Cuyahoga module. - After building, create a Yaf folder in /Web/Modules/ and move the all the yaf files to that folder that are required to run it (aspx, ascx, images etc.).
- Also copy CuyahogaYaf.ascx to to that folder.
- Copy yaf.dll and Cuyahoga.Modules.YetAnotherForum to the /bin folder of Cuyahoga.
- Merge the web.config that comes with yaf with the Cuyahoga web.config.
- Add an entry for the forum in the cuyahoga_moduletype table.
- Add two settings to the cuyahoga_modulesetting table: BOARDID (System.Int32, required) and CATEGORYID (System.Int32, not required).

After this, you can add a new section with a forum.


Disclaimer: Yaf is GPL software, so I don't know if it's completely legal to post the modified sources here on the forum. If not, please some one let me know and I'll remove them.

That's great. Are we going to see the result somewhere?



Hmmm that's strange. Maybe the path to the calendar .js files is invalid?

I'll create a JIRA issue for this that will remind me to give it a look.



I've never really thought about that, but now you put it here, it makes more sense to use the encoding of the RSS source. Another JIRA issue .
i like the Cuyahoga Framework, a great concept, congratulations! :-)



Nice!

Can anyone send me the files (Config.cs and Data.cs belong in the /classes folder and ForumPage.cs in the /pages folder.) ?

I want to integrate the forum in cuyahoga framework !!

Thanks ! ;-)

Hello Martin,

I've followed your instructions and could not get YAF to work with the latest Cuyahoga svn.

The first error I have is due to the CuyahogaYafModule.cs file, I can't geti to compile under VS2005 so I have to modify this:
public CuyahogaYafModule(Section section) : base(section)
into this:
public CuyahogaYafModule() : base()


Then I could build the module.

Now I'm having the following error after installation and when trying to acces a page with a forum section:

Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
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.

Thanks for your help!

I get the same error:

when accesing directly by the yaf page: http://www.itiar.com/Modules/Yaf/default.aspx

The YAF module created the tables, but it mentioned that I may have to login as administrator before using the forum, could this be the problem? If so, how can I log in as administrator to yaf?

Thanks,
Patrick.

So something is wrong in the forum. Are you in a position to debug it? Do you have the correct yaf section in the web.config?



You must log in on Cuyahoga with an account that has the same username as the admin that was created after installing the forum. Yaf knows that it is running under Cuyahoga, so it doesn't display login or registration links, but directly logs you in with the Cuyahoga identity (and creates an account in the forum if there is no matching account).

Ok, thanks Martin, I will try to debug.

Patrick.

I think that the problem could come from the we.config file, root element for yafnet

What do you use here?

I use /Modules/Yaf/



Thanks,
Patrick.
