so i am having quite a bit of difficulty to use the multinode tree picker in umbraco 7.6.4

i am using mvc, and have controllers, models and view divided.

I have setup my picker, and i can select blog posts in my page in backend. But how do i get the data for the picked blog posts ? so far i can only get the properties which umbraco sets, and the name of the blog post. But how do i get the data from the actual post ?

i am using viewbag and the data needs to get pulled in a partial view.

My Controller ( specificly TopMonthPicks, TopYearPicks )

public class MasterController : RenderMvcController
    {
        // GET: Master
        protected override void OnActionExecuting(ActionExecutingContext filterContext)
        {
            // set frontpage.
            var frontPage = CurrentPage.AncestorsOrSelf().FirstOrDefault(x => x.Level == 1);

            ViewBag.Global = new Global()
            {
                MainMenu = GetMainMenu(frontPage),
                Title = frontPage.GetPropertyValue<string>("pageTitle"),
                SubTitle = frontPage.GetPropertyValue<string>("subPageTitle"),
                CurrentPage = CurrentPage,
                TopMonthPicks = frontPage.GetPropertyValue<IEnumerable<IPublishedContent>>("monthlyTopPicks"),
                TopYearPicks = frontPage.GetPropertyValue<IEnumerable<IPublishedContent>>("yearlyTopPicks"),

            };
        }

Hi, i am getting an annoying error, when trying to render an umbraco grid..

I have another solution where it works perfectly and exactly as this solution is made.

i am running umbraco 7.6

my code:

My Controller :

namespace Carinas_Univers.Controllers
{
    public class TextPageController : MasterController
    {
        // GET: TextPage
        public ActionResult TextPage()
        {
            var model = new TextPageViewModel();

            //GridDataModel grid = CurrentPage.GetPropertyValue<HtmlString>("textPageGrid");
            // GET grid 1
            var textPageGrid = CurrentPage.GetGridHtml(DocTypes.TextPage.TextPageGrid);
            //add to model.
            model.TextPageGrid = new HtmlString(textPageGrid.ToHtmlString());


            return View(model);
        }
    }
}

The error is on var textPageGrid

I am Getting This error:

I Hope there is someone that can help me figure this out..

Hi all,

I'm new with Archetype and I can't figure out how to nest them. I want to build a "widget" based website where the client can add these "widgets" so he can build his own pages.

This is what I did:

1. I created a new data type called Slider, I chose Archetype as my property editor (obviously). I added one fieldset and in the properties section I added a Media Picker

2. I created a new data type called Page builder. In this data type I added multiple fieldsets (Header, Text and Slider).

3. I created a new document type named Generic page where I added the Page builder

In my GenericPage.cshtml I have the following code:

@inherits Umbraco.Web.Mvc.UmbracoTemplatePage
@using Archetype.Extensions
@using Archetype.Models

@{
    Layout = "_Layout.cshtml";

    var fieldsets = Model.Content.GetPropertyValue<ArchetypeModel>("modules");
}


@Html.RenderArchetypePartials(fieldsets, "~/Views/Partials/Archetype/")

The header and text renders perfectly but my slider isn't. How can I render the nested archetype data type?

I hope this make sence and you guys can help me out.

Hi,

I am looking for a way to prevent the page from refreshing if the validation fails, for instance a wrong email format. The page does not refresh if a field is required and left empty which is just the way I want it.

Is it possible?

I am currently running two sites (Australia and New Zealand) with very similar content. There is a number of categories on the Australian site which do not exist on the NZ site, however to create the facade they do, i would like to link them back to the Australian site. I have tried to link document and also insert the href in the source, however it returns with a 404 error.

What is the simplest way to fix this, so it redirects to the Australian site?

I am trying to get the url for an image from my "updates" node in Umbraco. All other data is displaying perfectly, but the image url just says NULL. I can get the ID of the image, by removing the URL at the end.

Do you have any idea about what im doing wrong?

using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using System.Web.Http;
using crossmind.dk.Models;
using Umbraco.Core.Models;
using Umbraco.Web;
using Umbraco.Web.WebApi;

namespace crossmind.dk.Controllers
{
    public class UpdateApiController : UmbracoApiController
    {
        [HttpGet]
        public async Task<IHttpActionResult> GetAllUpdates()
        {
            var updateList = new List<Update>();
            var updates = UmbracoContext.ContentCache.GetById(1061).Children();

            foreach (var updateItem in updates)
            {
                updateList.Add(new Update
                {
                    Title = updateItem.Name,
                    Date = updateItem.CreateDate.ToString("D"),
                    Url =  updateItem.Url,
                    ImageUrl = updateItem.GetPropertyValue<IPublishedContent>("billede")?.Url()
                });
            }
            return Ok(updateList);
        }
    }
}

Thanks in advance, Andreas.

I am trying to extend the current media picker property editor to allow for the image cropper overlay to be opened in the content section when the user presses the "edit" link on the media thumbnail, instead of redirecting the user to the media section.

At the moment I am calling this function when the user presses the edit link:

$scope.openOverlay = function (item) {
            //initial image croper overlay
            $scope.imageCropperOverlay = {
                mediaId: '',
                saving: false,
                show: true, //controls whether to show the overlay or not
                value: item.value,
                config: item.config,
                view: '/App_Plugins/Our.Umbraco.OutCrop/cropper.html',
                close: function (oldModel) { //when the overlay is closed, dont show
                    imageCropperOverlay.show = false;
                },
                title: 'Image Crops',
                submitButtonLabel: 'Save Crops',
                submit: function (model) {         //when user clicks save crops button
                    imageCropperOverlay.saving = true;
                    //do savings
                    //get media item again and replace it's umbradoFile value
                    mediaResource.getById(imageCropperOverlay.mediaId).then(function (media) {
                        media.tabs[status.umbracoFile.tabKey].properties[status.umbracoFile.propertyKey].value = imageCropperOverlay.value;
                        mediaResource.save(media, false, []).then(function (media) { //save changes to media item, or craete if new
                            imageCropperOverlay.saving = false;
                            imageCropperOverlay.show = false;
                            notificationsService.remove(0);
                            notificationsService.success("The crops for '" + media.name + "' have been saved");

                        });
                    });
                }
            }
        };

This is the overlay in the HTML:

<umb-overlay ng-if="imageCropperOverlay.show"
                 model="imageCropperOverlay"
                 view="imageCropperOverlay.view"
                 title="imageCropperOverlay.title"
                 position="right" class="super-wide">
    </umb-overlay>

The edit link:

<a class="umb-sortable-thumbnails__action" href="" ng-click="openOverlay(image)">
                    <i class="icon icon-edit"></i>
                </a>

However when i click the edit button nothing happens. I am not sure what the correct way of passing the media item to the overlay is. Right now I am doing: value: item.value.

Why is my overlay not being shown?

By default articles allows the author to create new tags when creating an article. I force them to choose from a predefined list. The author can then choose one or more of these tags. This is to make filtering and searching via the tags more straightforward and manageable.

Is there a way to prefix a list of tags for a specific tag category ?

Hi all

Using Umrbraco 7.2.4

Need to set up cdn for media and media cache. However, client wants to avoid an Umbraco upgrade and I want to use the ImageProcessor AzureBlobCache which will only work with a later version of ImageProcessor than the one installed with U7.2.4 which is 1.9.5.0. AZB requires ImageProcessor >= 2.5.3.

Is it safe to upgrade just ImageProcessor? Anybody done this?

Hey friendly Umbracians

I am an Umbraco newbie currently working on a client project.

We are creating a site from scratch in Umbraco, and I will be working on the site together with a designer.

Project has been kicked off, and we are currently working on the Umbraco instance that sits in Azure.

I have to get the site into source control ASAP. We use Visual Studio online.

With the Umbraco site & DB sitting on a client's azure portal at the moment, what is my best option to get a local copy of the site that I can both work, and check in to source control?

P.S. I did a search on the forum, but found the majority of the source control threads to be a few years old.

P.P.S. Thanks in advance!

Hi devs,

I'm curious how other developers and companies are doing things with Umbraco Cloud with their existing workflows and habits. I've been talking a lot with community members during various events, but I think that having it in some kind of manuals or even this thread to help others might be a good solution to shorten the path for people doing the same things in the future. I'm still not sure if what we developed as our working solution is the best practise or even good solution for it. So.. thank you in advance for your input here.

I've been struggling a lot with combining our current setup with Umbraco Cloud workflow. Maybe a combination of both is not a good idea at all.. We're using TeamCity and Octopus for CI/CD + we have our custom infrastructure setup creating our repos, enviroments and everything else for specific projects. When we started to play with Umbraco Cloud all what we wanted was only to have additional deployment step in TC which will do the deploy into Umbraco Cloud enviroment when all the previous steps are correct - either if it's a development enviroment on Cloud or live one (depending from our current needs).

So we followed some tips from community (e.g. Sebastian's post from here: https://cultiv.nl/blog/visual-studio-and-umbraco-as-a-service/) and used provided tools to setup Visual Studio solution and we adopted it to fit our needs. We've ended in a really advanced Team City build step which is doing some magic behind the scenes to merge stuff from Cloud repo into our internal one and after all checks performing deploy/push to Cloud. It works in most of the cases, but still - it's interesting how others are doing it.

The most important part for us was to keep ability of Pull Requesting changes for all types of items in the project (including Views for example etc.), code-reviews and then just merge changes and perform a deploys to wherever we want to.

So, how you're doing it?

1. You're creating subrepository in your repository with the files from Cloud and pulling whenever you're working on the new features + you're adopting your build servers to just deploy the same website project which is pushed to Cloud?
2. You're keeping your web app + creating Cloud "deployment" website on the fly and it's only pushed to Cloud repos while all the rest is same as it was before adding this step? If so, how you're dealing with conflicts and updates on the Cloud side? You're doing Pull Request from command line for example or other kind of tricks?
3. You're doing some other kind of magic steps to make it done? :)

I will be glad for sharing as much as you can to help me understand your way of achieving the same goals I think.

Thank you in advance!

Hello,

How can I make the receiver mail dynamic.

I have tried{email} , [email] , but none is working.

I am using Umbraco Forms: "6.0.2".

Thanking you for your help.

kusum

Inside the backend i've got errrors when loading / filtering the list.

The properties that give errors have relations / logic from othet methods in it. I don't need this fields inside Umbraco. Ignore is ingored attribute inside the view-o-matic logic 2.0.3.

How to hide them?

Example:

[Ignore]
public ModelName FieldName
{
    get
    {
         return Methods.Methods.Name(this.Id);
     }
 }

I have an image cropper overlay that is being displayed for a media item selected from a media picker. I am able to display the media item and make changes to its crops just fine, but I am not sure how I go about saving my changes.

This is the overlay in question, without the saving functionality:

$scope.remove = function (index) {

            $scope.overlay = {
                mediaId: $scope.images.udi,
                saving: false,
                show: true, //controls whether to show the overlay or not
                value: $scope.images[0].metaData.umbracoFile.Value,
                config: $scope.images[0].metaData.umbracoFile.Value,
                view: '/App_Plugins/Our.Umbraco.OutCrop/cropper.html',
                close: function (oldModel) { //when the overlay is closed, dont show
                    $scope.overlay.show = false;
                },
                title: 'Image Crops',
                submitButtonLabel: 'Save Crops',
                submit: function (model) {         //when user clicks save crops button
                    $scope.overlay.saving = true;
                    $scope.overlay.show = false;
                    //do savings...
                }
            }

When i press the submit button I need to have the new crops saved to the media item. The values the overlay uses to display the current crops are located in the "metaData.umbracoFile.Value" of the image. Only a single image is able to be selected.

When gathering node data, like when rebuilding the external index, i get a entry in the log telling me:

System.Exception: Error indexing queue items,System.ArgumentException: Illegal characters in path.
   at System.IO.Path.CheckInvalidPathChars(String path, Boolean checkAdditional)

   at Examine.LuceneEngine.Providers.LuceneIndexer.ForceProcessQueueItems(Boolean block) in X:\Projects\Examine\Examine\src\Examine\LuceneEngine\Providers\LuceneIndexer.cs:line 1530, IndexSet: ExternalIndexSet

From what i've learned the Illegal characters in path is the key, that something that my client has uploaded has a a character in the file name that Umbraco doesn't like. Or rather System.IO.Path doesn't like. Or maybe it isn't uploaded, maybe it's a node with a name that got through the requestHandler/urlReplacing handler.

However, I can't figure out how to find the media (or node) that contains the illegal character. How would I do that?

I tried to copy all media and the actual DB from the server to my local environment, without luck..

Hi, I have created Custom Grid editors using package.manifest file and placed the file in

App_Plugins/CstEditors/package.manifest

The content of package.manifest :

{
    "gridEditors": [
        {
            "name": "H1",
            "alias": "headline1",
            "view": "textstring",
            "icon": "icon-coin",
            "config": {
                "style": "font-size: 36px; line-height: 45px; font-weight: bold",
                "markup": "<h1>#value#</h1>"
            }
        }
}

I can see the H1 appearing as editor in my grid but when I published my page I cant see any styling at all. Any idea what I am doing wrong here?

Thanks

I am using Umbraco 7.5 with Optimus 1.4 with less

My first action after installing both CMS/pkg was to create a new dynamic stylesheet and got a YSOD:

Could not find a part of the path '...\css\main.less'

I created the css directory manually in the root and that fixed the issue.

First, please accept my apologies if this is too basic, but if someone could set me off on the right path, I'd be really grateful. I'm not expecting someone to do the work for me!

I'm looking to add my own property editor that has 2 inputs

1. Headline
2. Content Picker (multiple items).

I've made an assumption that I don't need to write my own Content Picker as this obviously already exists in Umbraco. But I can't seem to find what I need to add and where in the manifest file.

I know I can use LeBlender for this, but I need to make the grid strongly typed and the Skybrud.Umbraco.GridData.LeBlender package doesn't seem to work.

Again, thanks for any help that anyone can offer

I'm trying to install Umbraco CMS 7.7.1 and Umbraco Forms 6.0.3 from Nuget (VS IDE)

Umbraco CMS 7.7.1 is fine, but then install Umbraco Forms 6.0.3. and after executing (after rebuilding) the following error occurs.

Maybe some proxy request is causing this problem.

Any ideas on what to configure to avoid this request?
