Ok, lets see, I have the document type textpage and I create some pages with it. Then I add a new document type "plans" but I dont give a default template. I...
Suddenly all my pages have disappeared in Umbraco under Content. All my macros, datatypes and all other stuff is there, but not my content. Strangely enough, I...
I'm trying to list the files in my media folder in a template, using the following code, but it doesn't output anything. I guess it's just a simple error, but...
This happened to me.. It was an error created many revisions ago with a circular copy bug. I found the node causing the problem and manually deleted it and...
Kasper, It would seem that the tree loading call is not returning anything if the content is too deep; such as a circular copy creates a deep tree. Anything...
Hello, I've got a small request for a variable in the page field/variable listing for both XSLT/Macro editing and template editing. Scenario: I am on the URL...
Hi! Daniel and I talked this morning about security issues on the umbraco.xml file. Especially in umbraco 2.1 where you can protect pages, meaning that they...
... I vote for writing security guidelines instead of renaming. Although I've not been good at protecting my own xml files, I'll vote for this 'correct' way of...
... Hello, Throwing a few ideas and thoughts out: One other techique that tangents on this: renaming the file with an .aspx ending (or other ASP.NET reserved...
Hey Actually this aint a bad idea. Since the umbraco.xml is updated on every site restart, why not just pic a random GUID and throw the file in the /data/...
Because the only thing the umbraco.xml file is used for, is to load all data when the application starts. So umbraco needs to know the filename on start-up -...
So just go for GUID, simplest thing in the world, and very Microsoft-ish to use as well, and, they're path-safe, even better. One thought I've had regarding ...
Just use in your mind that many people will install umbraco in shared hosting enviroments. So the solution you may find must be combatible with that. (no IIS...
Saving down an XML file with a GUID is compatible with this as long as you set the actual file save path to writable, which already is required for several of ...
So a solution could actually be to save the data in a folder like: /data/umbData/[GUID].xml Then umbraco would just look for a file in the umbData folder and...
For someone to random out the actual GUID string would take a while, and if nothing else, spam the crap out of the logs, so say a culprit actually reaches the...
If the file is only of temporary use ... why not delete it after use? Or even better don't put it into a file ... use some in mem static reference or service? ...
I vote for that one too. I agree - but I've learned that what system administrators do, is to look for the smallest and theoretical chance of a security whole....
You got my vote ... From: umbraco@yahoogroups.com [mailto:umbraco@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Niels Hartvig, umbraco Sent: 3. oktober 2005 10:53 To:...
... It *is* used when the application restarts to populate umbraco content into memory, instead of loading everything off the db. Very good for performance... ...
I would classify myself as a pretty damn paranoid system administrator when it comes down to it. Although I scream more about cleartext passwords in databases,...
+1 for file renaming. Thing is that I guess some people would want to host Umbraco in a shared hosting environment. It can be quite hard to get such a provider...
A good thing when creating open source software is multiple eyes, and so Kasper Bumbech just asked me: "Why not just create one table with one column and one...
What happens if the SQL server is down at the time of server restart? Possibly it will still work if rendering with the cached XML file? Or? But, I suppose ...
Good point, but if the SQL Server restarts, the umbraco site won't work anyway because it ask for a lot of metadata from the sql server (templates, macros,...
True. Hmm. Well, perhaps something to consider for a future major release of Umbraco is to cache the templates and metadata to disk, might make that an option....
Let's see if I understand this correctly: currently umbraco.xml is only used every time the application is reloaded? After contemplating Torgnys zen-inspired...
I forgot to tell you, that I'm using Umbraco 2.0 and if I try to use your advice Casey, I get the error "Object reference not set to an instance of an object"....
