One thing I have found frustrating about the BlogEngine, when you are developing is I have to go on the the server to recycle the application pool if I need to refresh the object loaded in memory.
In addition I wanted a way to find out how may posts, pages and files the BlogEngine held in the application. Also find out the amout of hard disc space they used would be useful.
So I went ahead and wrote a Maintenance section
Installation is quite simple copy the admin/Maintenance folder in to the admin/maintenance folder.
Ammend the web.sitemap to include the maintenance
<siteMapNode url="~/admin/Pages/Maintenance/" title="Maintenance" description="" roles="administrators"/>
When you login as an administrator you will find the maintenance section appear.
I think you have an errant a tag over your comment form….clicking in the textboxes cause the user to go somewhere else, instead of into the textbox. lol
Anyway, this is really cool. Has it been working well for you?
Thanks for seeing the tag, now sorted 😉
Yes the maintenance and resetting working link a dream, it has saved me so much time.
And for those who do not have access to resetting the AppPool or IIS it could not be any easier.
Thanks for the tips in control panel of blog.
