FrontPage theme not working
Hello, I tried using the frontpage theme of roller, but it seems like this theme has some issue as It did not show up any data (no blogs, hottags, hot blogs etc.) But when I tried searching in the search of that theme, then it shows the blogs. I am looking into this, just want to know Is anyone out there for whom this theme is working perfectly fine ? -- Regards, *Gaurav Saini* /Developer, Digital Marketing and Pursuing B.Tech/ /Email: gauravsain...@gmail.com/
Re: FrontPage theme not working
It should work ok, the front page theme is for the initial front page weblog, right? Cheers Greg.

Re: FrontPage theme not working
Hello, I am still not able to populate the results in frontpage theme. The condition I see in this theme is different from other is this [#foreach($pinnedEntry in $pinnedEntries)]. Can any one explain me what is pinnedEntry here ? As in that theme we still use #foreach($entry in $entries) for the search results, that is why I was saying search results are coming fine.

Re: FrontPage theme not working
Hi Guarav, The front-page theme is designed to be used on the weblog that is designated to be the front-page blog of a Roller site. See the Server-Admin -> Configuration page and the "Weblog to serve as frontpage blog" option. You must also turn on the "Enable aggregated site-wide frontpage" option. If both of those are set, then the front-page blog should work fine. If not, then we may have a bug. The pinned-entry option is a way to "pin" a weblog entry to the top of the page. It was used by Sun to "pin" temporary announcements to the top of it's blog server so that everybody would see them. Hope that helps. - Dave On Tue, Dec 17, 2013 at 8:33 AM, Gaurav wrote: > Hello, > > I am still not able to populate the results in frontpage theme.

Gaurav, following through the logic: #set($pinnedEntries = $site.getPinnedWeblogEntries(5)) #foreach($pinnedEntry in $pinnedEntries) $site == org.apache.roller.weblogger.ui.rendering.model.SiteModel So if you check getPinnedWeblogEntries(..) of SiteModel: /** * Get pinned entries. * @param sinceDays Only consider weblogs updated in the last sinceDays * @param lengthMax number of results to return */ public List getPinnedWeblogEntries(int length) { List results = new ArrayList(); try { Weblogger roller = WebloggerFactory.getWeblogger(); WeblogEntryManager wmgr = roller.getWeblogEntryManager(); List weblogs = wmgr.getWeblogEntriesPinnedToMain(length); for (Iterator it = weblogs.iterator(); it.hasNext();) { WeblogEntry entry = (WeblogEntry) it.next(); results.add(WeblogEntryWrapper.wrap(entry, urlStrategy)); } } catch (Exception e) { log.error("ERROR: fetching pinned weblog entries", e); } return results; } It retrieves a list worf weblogs: List weblogs = wmgr.getWeblogEntriesPinnedToMain(length); from method getWeblogEntriesPinnedToMain of org.apache.roller.weblogger.business.jpa.JPAWeblogEntryManagerImpl public List getWeblogEntriesPinnedToMain(Integer max) throws WebloggerException { Query query = strategy.getNamedQuery( "WeblogEntry.getByPinnedToMain&statusOrderByPubTimeDesc"); query.setParameter(1, Boolean.TRUE); query.setParameter(2, WeblogEntry.PUBLISHED); if (max != null) { query.setMaxResults(max); } return query.getResultList(); } it will execute a named query: WeblogEntry.getByPinnedToMain&statusOrderByPubTimeDesc from: app/src/main/resources/org/apache/roller/weblogger/pojos/WeblogEntry.orm.xml SELECT w FROM WeblogEntry w WHERE w.pinnedToMain = ?1 AND w.status = ?2 ORDER BY w.pubTime DESC Is this OK?

Re: FrontPage theme not working
Thanks a lot Greg, It really cleared me about the work flow of roller and how we get the results from database. I was really struggling understanding the roller flow, day by day I am becoming more familiar to the structure of roller. One thing I was having problem today was understanding the CreateUser form, for creating the new user we have form in which action marked is createUser!save. I did not find any servlet mentioned in web.xml for this and how its using CreateUser class. . . . I will be very thankful to you if you can explain me how this struts form works ?

Re: FrontPage theme not working
Gaurav, is a struts action: app/src/main/resources/struts.xml .CreateUser So, Struts will call the save() method of org.apache.roller.weblogger.ui.struts2.admin.CreateUser. btw, anything after the ! (bang) is a method of the class. Part of the struts2 framework.
