Hi

I've tried to set up a nested list structure for my menu, but I'm having
the hardest time getting it to work...

I'm setting it up using xslt and I've added the following element (like
topbar.xslt)

Alias    Name        Type
source    Get nodes from    contentTree

- but I can't get it to work properly...?

How does the xml look that I'm trying to style?
- it doesn't seem to be the same as the xml file used for the site -
umbraco.xml
What's the difference between contentAll, contentSubs and contentTree?

Have I completely misunderstood everything or could some helpful soul
help me out here?

I've come so far as to create the first level of the menu, but whenever
i click a page, the menu is not looking the same, which I don't get
since I thought I was accessing the same XML?

A XSLT like this:
<xsl:template match="/">
     <ul>
        <xsl:apply-templates
select="/macro/source/descendant-or-self::node" />
     </ul>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="node">
     <li>
        <a href="{umbraco.library:NiceUrl(./@id)}">
           <xsl:value-of select="./@nodeName" />
        </a>
     </li>
</xsl:template>


Gives me (for the first page) all nodes, but if i click a page, I get a
different output. This puzzles me - shouldn't this output be the same no
matter what page I'm looking at?

Hi Anders!

First off: Rumours says that Kasper Bumbech - co-umbraco developer - very
soon is releasing a shop for umbraco under the GPL License...!

But, anyways - when you use macro elements together with .NET Controls you
only get the id of the page send - not the xml as when you work with XSLT.

So in order to access the umbraco data you need to provide a reference to
the umbraco.dll in your control and access the content through:
"XmlDocument umbraco.content.xmlContent"

Hope this helps a little!

Best,
Niels...

Emne: [umbraco] Getting data from umbraco to .net control



Hey

I have been working on a shop in umbraco. I created a number of
products, and wanted to get those loaded into a .net control, handling
the shopping-cart. But how ?

Having read umbraco.org/assets/usingcontrolswithumbraco.pdf i just
thought changing the type to ContentSubs would send the data, but with
no effect ...

Hi Simon!

It's because umbraco tries to repopulate the umbraco.xml file and doesn't
have write access.

The reason that it works when you reload it is because the xml is already
loaded into memory.

When umbraco starts it checks to see if a file called "xmlChanged.txt" is
present in the /media folder. If it's present it means that the xml has been
changed in memory (which occurs when you publish content). Umbraco does not
write all xml into a file every time a page is published, instead it creates
this little file, and reloads the xml into memory when the application is
re-started (ie. when new files are uploaded into the /bin folder, the
web.config is changed or the server is re-started).

So you need to get modify access to the /umbraco.xml file for the ASPNET
account or other users accounts used by the ASPNET worker process. You also
need write/modify access to other directories - you can see the install
instructions for further info.

Best,
Niels...

Emne: [umbraco] Weird Site error



I have just managed to install Umbraco on a shared host (Rackhosting,
Denmark) - occasionally when I enter my site, a .NET error pops up
claiming that umbraco.xml is not accessible. But when I reload the
site again it shows up normally .. is that due to a misconfiguration
of Umbraco or do I have to speak with my host about it?

you can try it out here: simm.dk

Thanks in advance for any help,

Hi Andreas,

Precisely, however it puzzles me that it works whenever the page is
refreshed. But I'll try to talk with my host to see if they can make
the problem perish

Thanks for your help

Hi Simon

It appears (correct me Niels if I'm wrong) that the ASP.NET user on the
server doesn't have the rights needed. Consult the installation file on
how to grant the rights needed to the ASP.NET user.

To correct this you have to administrator rights on the server - so you
might have to go through your hostmaster.

I got the following error when I tried to access your page:

Server Error in '/umbraco20' Application.
Access to the path
"C:\Inetpub\vhosts\simm.dk\httpdocs\umbraco20\umbraco.xml" is denied.
Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the
current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information
about the error and where it originated in the code.

Exception Details: System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Access to the
path "C:\Inetpub\vhosts\simm.dk\httpdocs\umbraco20\umbraco.xml" is denied.

ASP.NET is not authorized to access the requested resource. Consider
granting access rights to the resource to the ASP.NET request identity.
ASP.NET has a base process identity (typically {MACHINE}\ASPNET on IIS 5
or Network Service on IIS 6) that is used if the application is not
impersonating. If the application is impersonating via <identity
impersonate="true"/>, the identity will be the anonymous user (typically
IUSR_MACHINENAME) or the authenticated request user.

To grant ASP.NET write access to a file, right-click the file in
Explorer, choose "Properties" and select the Security tab. Click "Add"
to add the appropriate user or group. Highlight the ASP.NET account, and
check the boxes for the desired access.

Sounds like the /umbraco_client folder isn't uploaded or are incorrect mapped?

Hi,

After transfering my Umbraco project to my hosting provider I am getting this weird issue with the rich text editor. The installation seems to work fine except for the menu bar above a rich text control. The buttons for (for example) view source and bold are not showing up. I only get spacers and the save, save & publish and preview buttons.

What can be wrong? It seems everything is ftp-ed correctly.

Regards, Boris

I am downloading... ;) THX!

Need UserName and Password?

I am trying...
3Q..
Good luck.

Thanks for the quick response Niels.  Your right have a happy
easter....and must spend time with family...

I've well versed in xml/xslt....just don't know how umbraco uses
it...but i guess i will start to dive in myself....still will wait
for docs from you when you get them...

thanks

You need subversion tools to download umbraco.

For accessing from Explorer:
http://tortoisesvn.tigris.org/

For accessing directly in Visual Studio.NET:
http://ankhsvn.tigris.org/

Unfortunately you cannot download the source directly in your browser...

I can't download source. What's wrong?

Hi!

No, not yet - we're working on it at the new umbraco.org website
(http://org.umbraco.dk), but these days are Easter and family so progress is
really slow.

So patience - I'll write documentation on especially the xml/xslt macro
section first. Until then, I recommend that you read a bit on XSLT and Xpath
which really is a fundamental technology in umbraco.

However, I want to explore "hand-on" but I see some reference

Are there any documentation that helps understanding the design and

Hi Jon!

You've probably forgot to assign a start node in the medialibrary when
creating the user. It's a bug that a new user doesn't get the root node of
the medialibrary as default, but login with your administrator account (the
old umbraco/default login), edit the user and assign the root node of the
medialibrary as the start node.

Hope this helps you!

Best,
Niels...

Emne: [umbraco] Error in media library



Hi folks,

I've been looking at Umbraco for a day or so. Good work!

However, I've run in to a problem. If I go to the media libary,
the "Medias" node is empty. If I click on the "Medias" node, I get
an error message:

    [NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance
    of an object.]
    umbraco.cms.businesslogic.Content.get_ContentType() +70
    umbraco.controls.ContentControl..ctor(Content c, publishModes
    CanPublish, String Id) +457
    umbraco.cms.presentation.editMedia.Page_Load(Object sender,

    System.Web.UI.Control.OnLoad(EventArgs e) +67
    System.Web.UI.Control.LoadRecursive() +35
    System.Web.UI.Page.ProcessRequestMain() +733

If I try to create an image or a folder, the wizard allows me to
select a destination, a type and a title, but the image is not added
to the Medias node.

What could be going wrong?

Cheers,    - Jon -

Yeah - just this very moment before reading your message, i made that
discovery myself!

What about the forwarding option? Is that something, you plan on
integrating later on?

Hi Tobias

Excellent - yeah that appears to solve my "problem" with the url. Thanks.

I still don't like having toplevel navigation in 2 different levels....
it still appears wrong to me. I'll still hope for at forwarding
option... :o)

Hi Mailand!

You can use h1, h2, etc, just by calling the alias "h1" instead of .header
or whatever umbraco suggest when you create it!

Cool and brilliant!

Although - it would be nice if you could name it something meaningful
instead of the actual HTML property - like H1 etc.

- but cool it possible!

Whatare your experiences with the hierarchy structure of the document
nodes - do you get my question?

I think the hierarchy "problem" is solved already.
If you check the video
http://www.090978.org/umbraco-screencasts/assignDomain.html you can
see how to add domains to nodes.

But I havn't tried it :-)

Hey

I have been working on a shop in umbraco. I created a number of
products, and wanted to get those loaded into a .net control, handling
the shopping-cart. But how ?

Having read umbraco.org/assets/usingcontrolswithumbraco.pdf i just
thought changing the type to ContentSubs would send the data, but with
no effect ...

/Anders

Cool and brilliant!

Although - it would be nice if you could name it something meaningful
instead of the actual HTML property - like H1 etc.

- but cool it possible!

Whatare your experiences with the hierarchy structure of the document
nodes - do you get my question?

Hi Andreas,

I had the same problem last week.
"How do I populate the drop down box in the content editor
withdifferent styles? Am I missing something os is this not possible
to edit?"

You do like this:
* Go to Settings>Stylesheets
* Rightclick on the Styles object and Create

Thats it. Then just use the editor to create the style you like.

Hi

I've worked worked with Umbraco for the last couple of days trying to
set up a small site knowing next-to-nothing about xslt and .net...

I've actually got it to work although I do have some questions I'll
try to sum up here - especially generating a useful menu for my
purpose has given me a headache

The first one - how does the hierarchy structure work?

The example site is build up like the following:
itworked
- Need help
- Documentation
- Credits
- Latest news
   - umbraco released

So when you browse the site, you'll get a url like:
/itworked.aspx
/itworked/needhelp.aspx

... is it possible in umbraco as it is to change the node loading
first? i for personal reasons don't like the different 'toplevel'
nodes to be on different levels. In my opinion it would be nice to be
able to decide which node loads first - e.g. loading 'Need help' as
the first.

By being able to do so, menu structure would be more logic. Having a
structure like:

site 1
- top level 1
   - sub level 1
   - sub level 2
- top level 2
- top level 3
site 2
- top level 1
   - sub level 1
   - sub level 2
- top level 2
- top level 3

That would also create more logic url structure on the frontend. e.g.:
/toplevel1/sublevel1.aspx

If you, for instance, have a page named 'Frontpage' or 'Welcome' as
the entry page for your site, all other pages will, looking at the
url, appear as subpages of 'frontpage' or 'welcome'...

Maybe it could be solved by adding a 'forward' option for each page.
So requesting the root would forward to e.g. 'top level 1' in the
above mentioned example.

The forwarding option would overall be a nice feature, so in general
you could be able to direct a user to the first sub page of a
requested page.

... my main struggle with the xslt is how to populate a
<ul><li></li><ul> menu when the very first top level page and the the
other top level pages are on different levels. i'm trying to modify
the topbar.xslt example that follows the standard installation, but
since i  want the menu as nested lists and not independent lists, it
gives me a headache...

Another thing about the menu that confuses me - it seems impossible to
see other top level pages - if i create a page on the same level as
'it worked' in the standard installation, i can't get it to output
using a macro similar to Topbar - it doesn't seem to be in the
contentTree output...


Another question...

How do I populate the drop down box in the content editor with
different styles? Am I missing something os is this not possible to edit?



This being said - I really enjoy working with umbraco and i'm looking
forward to getting to know it a bit better and being able to extend it
with my own elements.

The lack of documentation is a bit troublesome trying to figure
everything out by myself - but hopefully this list and the new
ressource page will help a lot!

Godspeed developing this CMS that really has surprised me how easy it
was to set up the fundamentals for a new site...

Hi Tobias!

Welcome aboard - I hope you'll enjoy umbraco...! Thanks for asking - here's
some answers

> Version system
umbraco creates a new version of the page every time it's published, but
stores the old versions. So the old thing that the versioning system in
umbraco does is letting you modify a new version of the page, while keeping
the published content intact. A little red star symbol in the tree lights if
the published content is different from the version that's being edited. By
using the preview button in umbraco, you can see the version you're editing.
Right now there's no way to rollback or to diff the different versions of
content and you cannot manually create a version. Any input on this would be
great - I don't know if anyone actually would be using functionality like
this.

> User rights [CRUDs]
You've probably seen a screenshot on umbraco.dk which is actually showing
umbraco 1.0 that had CRUDs. The coming version of umbraco will have CRUDs
too, and the development of this function has been kindly financed by the
Danish company Ebita (http://www.ebita.dk) which is a consulting firm with a
strong focus on umbraco - thanks a lot! Hopefully will be able to include
this functionality in version 2.0.1 that is to be released next week.

Best,
Niels / umbraco

Emne: [umbraco] Two questions about Umbraco



Hi,

I give this emaillist a try.

I am a developer and have tried alot of CMSes. At the moment I do
development in the Swedish system EPiServer ( www.episerver.com ).
I must say that Umbraco has a great chance to compete with this.

But I have two questions:

* the versions system. Is it under development or is it supposed to be
a  commercial plugin? I saw that the database already stored versions
of content.

* User rights. In your screenshots you have a page where you can set
page-user privalegies. Is this also under development?

Thanks,
/Tobias

I will be hanging around here and play with Umbraco for some hours now.
