blogpostlist on folder name based multiple sites

I am a bit surprised I can't find any reference to this situation... but it seems BlogPostList control has problems in name-based multi-tenancy mode. I have Blogs on a child sites (mapped to some folder named "yyy" or "xxx" or whatever), then I have a BlogPostList on child site that displays last posts of a blog control. But links in BlogPostList posts are wrong. They link to root site instead to the subfolder based child site.

I tried to solve the issue in razor template of the BlogPostList somwhow, but also got stuck. If you use "@Request.Url" in razor template, the default root page "root/default.aspx" is referenced, not the actual page in subfolder where the BlogPostList instance is running.

Can you please provide any help?

Re: blogpostlist on folder name based multiple sites

Hello,

I've found the problem with this and have fixed it in our code. 

To work around the problem, use the following view as an example. Basically, you ned need to add @using mojoPortal.Web; to the top and then @SiteUtils.GetNavigationSiteRoot() in front of each instance of @item.ItemUrl and @Model.ModulePageUrl.

@using mojoPortal.Web.Helpers;
@using mojoPortal.Business;
@using mojoPortal.Web; @*add mojoPortal.Web to this line *@
@model PostListModel

<div class="blog-postlist">
    @foreach (var item in Model.Posts)
    {
        <article class="blog-postlist__item">

            <header>
                @if (!string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(item.HeadlineImageUrl))
                {
                    <figure class="blog-postlist__item-featured-image">
                        <img src="@item.HeadlineImageUrl" alt="@item.Title" />
                    </figure>
                }

                <h2 class="blog-postlist__title">
                    <a class="blog-postlist__item-link" href='@SiteUtils.GetNavigationSiteRoot()@item.ItemUrl'>@item.Title</a> 
                </h2>
                @if (@item.SubTitle != "")
                {
                    <h3 class="blog-postlist__sub-title">@item.SubTitle</h3>
                }
            </header>

            <div class="blog-postlist__item-body">
                @Html.Raw(item.Body)
            </div>

            <footer>
                <div class="blog-postlist__metadata">
                    @if (item.ShowAuthorName)

Re: blogpostlist on folder name based multiple sites

Thank you, it works!

Just one more question, if may I... I guess there is no possibility that the same razor template would be used for BlogPostList and for the Blog? So that blog posts in both would look the same?
