Sharepoint 2010 - Strange blog URL issue with site using Variations(Multilingual site). - REALLY WEIRD ISSUE!

Scenario/Symptoms

  • We have a site with variations. English/Spanish
  • Structure
    • Main Site > en > English Blog(Add 1 or 2 sample blogs)
    • Main Site > es > Spanish Blog(Add 1 or 2 sample blogs)
  • On the "Main Site" we added a "Content Query Web Part". Apply the below given setting.
  • Click on the link of any English blog. IT WORKS FINE!!!
  • Now click on the Spanish blog link. IT SAYS "PAGE NOT FOUND"!!!
  • Another way to get this is.
    • Go to the URL of Spanish blog site.
    • You can find the blogs on the page.
    • Click on the blog link IT SAYS "PAGE NOT FOUND"!!!.
    • Or navigate to "Administrar entradas de blog"(AllPosts.aspx). This page will show all the blogs in the list. Click on the blog link IT SAYS "PAGE NOT FOUND"!!!


Cause

We added a column to the list "Post". Now this small thing was causing the whole havoc.


Solution

There are 3 ways to
  1. Either don't add any column to list "Post". => BAD ONE
  2. Copy SharePoint Designer > Lists > Estrada De Blog and paste it there with name "Post". Don't delete the folder. Just need to duplicate and rename the folder.
  3. Read the blog => Sharepoint 2010 - Solution to blog URL issue with site using Variations(Multilingual site) to see the feature stapler solution for this issue.


Hope this helps. If you have any questions or a better solution, I am all open for it. Thanks for reading the blog.
