I installed SS 2.3.3 with blog 0.2.1. Everything works fine except that I canÂ´t write new entries with the blog manager. The form shows up, it can be submitted and the new entry finds itÂ´s way to the database. My problem now: New entries donÂ´t show neather in the frontend nor in the backend.
I appreciate your help.

Now I know why they do not show. In my _config.php i set

i18n::enable();
i18n::set_locale('de_DE');
Translatable::set_default_locale("de_DE");

Entries via the frontend get the locale "en_US". Now I need to find out how to change that.

I added one codeline to the BlogHolder_Controller:

        $form->saveInto($blogentry);
        $blogentry->ParentID = $this->ID;
        $blogentry->Content = $form->datafieldByName('BlogPost')->dataValue();
        $blogentry->Locale = "de_DE"; //Otherwise "en_US" will be set and the entries wonÂ´t show if site language isnÂ´t english.
        $blogentry->Status = "Published";
        $blogentry->writeToStage("Stage");
        $blogentry->publish("Stage", "Live");

This is a quiet cheap solution, maybe IÂ´ll finde a better one.
