shouldn't pagemenues be hidden in editpost and viewpost pages?

they are not in the version I have.

I had to add this.SuppressPageMenu(); to them manually to hide pagemenu.

why should they be in viewpost?

this is a request for change.

adding a subpage corrupts my viewpost page. see this page when pagemenu is not hidden:

No why should they? If you don't want pages below the blog page then don't create pages below the blog page or else if you want hidden pages below the blog page use a different skin on the bog page that doesn't have PageMenu

I don't know what you mean by "corrupts the page", possibly you will have some problems using Persian urls, there is nothing I can do about that.

Re: shouldn't pagemenues be hidden in editpost and viewpost pages?

well, if you had checked the home page; the blog module is not sitted on a just a blog page . (homepage is not visible to anonymous users for two or three days now until I finish the site)

there are many modules in the home page, some of them being blogs.

I expected that the user would see no pagemenu when just visiting the blog post. he should see pagemenu in the page that contains the blog module, but not in the blog post view page (why should he?)

anyways, the pagemenu ruined the blog post view because I had designed it to spread accross the whole page and no pagemenu was expected to be shown. I mean

I will accommodate you, if you get the latest code from the repository then you can add these to your user.config to suppress the PageMenu

<add key="Blog:BlogViewSuppressPageMenu" value="true" />
<add key="Blog:EditPostSuppressPageMenu" value="true" />

but I also want to say:

blogs will not work well if you try to put the same blog on multiple pages or if you move a blog from one page to another. This is because the friendly urls must pass in the correct pageid in the real url to enforce security

your usage seems unusual to me if you have more than one blog on a page.

also when you say "there are many modules on the home page", my advice is don't do that, just because you can use a bunch of modules on a single page does not mean you should. Each module is making several hits to the database so you should use good judgment about how you construct your content. Its ok to use a few but I would not get carried away with using lots of feature instances per page. Rather than putting multiple html features on a page consider that you can use a single instance and do layout within the content and you can make content templates with different layouts to make it easier.

thanks.

the blogs sit on the homepage and there is no plan to move them or reuse them.

but unfortunately I have 10 blog modules on the home page!

it's a news publishing website.

Hi Joe,

It appears the BlogViewSuppressPageMenu option is enabled by default now? Seems to me that this should be disabled by default because most people are probably going to want the PageMenu to show up on the BlogView pages.

Thanks,
Joe D.
