Issue with using MultiBlog plugin

Vote 0 Votes

I use MultiBlog plugin for managing multiple blogs and website to aggregate every blog.

My issue is when I update one of my blog which triggers the MultiBlog to rebuild the website, MultiBlog rebuilds the website first before the actual blog entry is built. Therefore if the user click on the website link to the rebuilding blog entry he will receive "404 not found".

This is obviously an usability problem, so I was wondering if there is any way to make whatever trigger is set for MultiBlog to rebuild last. So that blog entry is built first and website with the link to the entry would rebuild last.

Any advice?

  • Hi Yuui,

    You may like to further detail your setup, eventually with some coding sample.

    Kind Regards,

  • Sorry I couldn't be more clear.

    Here is my setup:
    ===============
    Parent Website
    L Blog1
    L Blog2
    L Blog3
    ===============
    On my Parent Website I have MultiBlog trigger set to rebuild when one of these blogs publish.

    When I publish a entry in Blog2 for example Parent Website also rebuilds with it. I don't have the details on what order MT5 rebuilds its templates but my guess from experience is:

    ::Template ReBuilding order when published in MT5::
    Press Publish >> MultiBlog > Index Temp. > Entry Archives > Other Archives and Templates.

    The issue when entry is published triggered templates in the MultiBlog rebuilds first before entry archives is built in the directory. Default setup is okay if the entry archive is lightweight but my entry archive template has some heavy MT codes in it and server takes awhile to build the one entry archive. While server is building the one entry archive, if users access the Parent Website they will see newly published link from Blog2 but if they click on the link they will receive "404 not found" because Blog2's entry archive is still in the process of rebuilding.

    My site has high traffic so, I don't have the option to use dynamic publishing.

    I hope my issue made more clear!

  • You may like to try to setup the template from the parent website to rebuild "Via Publish Queue".

If you need to share template code, replace all the "<" signs with "&lt;" or use this utility.
