    Trouble using uDateFoldersy for anything other than "Blog"

    I've installed the uBlogsy package on my umbraco installation (Umbraco v6.1.2) and set up the blog correctly, working with no issues. I thought it would be a good idea to use uDateFoldersy for an Events section I'm working on, but I can't get it to work automatically like it does with the Blog section.

    I've set up an "Events" document type, as well as an "Event" sub-type. I've set the allowed child node types of Events to be Event and "[uDateFoldersy] Folder - Year", and allowed Event as a child node type of "[uDateFoldersy] Folder - Day". I've also modified the uDateFoldersy.config to add the Events root alias and Event doc type alias. I was playing around with the date property, but ended up just leaving it at default and adding a "uBlogsyPostDate" property to my "Event" doc type, just to try and get things to work.

    When I add an Event to my Events node, it just gets added at the root of the Events node. If I change the uBlogsyPostDate, nothing happens. Am I missing something to get this to work automatically as it should?

    I've included my uDateFoldersy.config, just in case

     

    <uDateFoldersySettings>
        <DateFolders enabled="true">
            <!--- csv of doc type aliases which are the roots of where date folders should go (eg. news, blog)-->
            <RootDocTypeAliases>uBlogsyLanding,Events</RootDocTypeAliases>
    
            <!-- enables month folders -->
            <YearFolders enabled="true" docTypeAlias="uDateFoldersyFolderYear"/>
    
            <!-- enables month folders... note: this setting will not apply if year folders are disabled -->
            <MonthFolders enabled="true" docTypeAlias="uDateFoldersyFolderMonth"/>
    
            <!-- enables day folders... note: this setting will not apply if month folders are disabled -->
            <DayFolders enabled="true" docTypeAlias="uDateFoldersyFolderDay"/>
    
            <!-- csv of doc type aliases which will be put into folders -->
            <TargetDocTypeAliases>uBlogsyPost,Event</TargetDocTypeAliases>
    
            <!-- the date property - must be a date type -->
            <DatePropertyAlias>uBlogsyPostDate</DatePropertyAlias>
    
            <FolderNameFormat>
                <!-- Valid values: M MM MMM MMMM == 3 03 Mar March -->
                <MonthFormat>MMMM</MonthFormat> 
    
                <!-- Valid formats: d dd == 9 09 -->
                <DayFormat>dd</DayFormat>
            </FolderNameFormat>
        </DateFolders>
    
    </uDateFoldersySettings>

    I'm having a similar issue with uDateFoldersy on a stock Umbrac 6.1.3 install and a 6.1.1 site as well.  It doesn't seem to work at all with the doctypes I've specified in the config.  It adds the doctypes, and I've followed the install instructions as Gordon has, and it still just creates my posts directly under the landing page root.  Tried the available hotfix and that doesn't solve the issue.  Anyone have any success with uDateFoldersy on 6.1.x?
