Thanks
Thanks any way
Installed on BlogEngine.net 2.5 with modified "Boldy" theme and it caused the site to throw a 401 error. Any thoughts?
Ooops. There was some kind of problem. Apologies for the multiple posts!
@John: It should be possible that you can use the same code on a normal asp.net page.
Code doesn’t work. Throws an error on 2.5.0.6

@[Mattia Baldinger] Could you got an sample?
getting past the
"CS0246: The type or namespace name ‘ExtensionSettings’ could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)"
error : http://blogengine.codeplex.com/discussions/252017
The fix is to add "using BlogEngine.Core.Web.Extensions;" statement to every file. This problem is a common problem with the 2.x version. The extension is developed for 1.x. I will provide a 2.x version soon….
using BE 2.5.0.6 and v5 of addthis throws an error of
Error 330 (net::ERR_CONTENT_DECODING_FAILED)
when viewing the post.
do you know what the fix is for this?
thanks
@brain: no idea! does the problem occurs with every browser on any computer? it is maybe a browser or OS specific problem! You could deactivate all buttons and then activate one by one to detect the script, which your browser doesn’t like.
@all: sorry for the problem with posting comments! The problem will be fixed when I upgrade to the new version of blogengine…!
