We have a repository for our Umbraco project for a client and an automated process to copy the production database to the local development environment. This allows for very fast environment setup for a new developer. However, the developer needs to log in as superadmin somehow. We are not allowed to add a shared generic superadmin account on the actual production setup. And we can't create prod user accounts for all developers either. Is the best way to run a direct SQL command to insert a generic "local development only" user or can you set it via appsettings somehow?

New version of Umbraco CMS has just been published on NuGet: Umbraco.Cms 15.4.0-rc 🔗 https://www.nuget.org/packages/Umbraco.Cms/15.4.0-rc

I want to deploy the latest LTS version of Umbraco CMS as a Docker container using Docker image or Docker compose with official Docker images - does Umbraco publish those to Dockerhub?

I'm working in a package that installs a few document types. It also includes some views that use view models mapped from the generated Umbraco models. To avoid building issues, I need to include the generated models in the package, but when I run a test site that uses the package it fails because it tries to generate the existing classes. There used to be a way of indicating, using decorators, that a class was already generated to indicate Models Builder to ignore it. The current documentation for v15 (https://docs.umbraco.com/umbraco-cms/reference/templating/modelsbuilder/understand-and-extend#extending-models) indicates that "Models Builder does not recognize custom partial classes during regeneration. If your custom class conflicts with the generated class (e.g., overriding a constructor), it will cause compilation errors." It also indicates that "For more complex customizations, use the full version of Models Builder." There's a link to the full version but is pretty old. Any idea if it's possible to include the models? Or a workaround?

Hi, trying to use the Luke tool supplied with Lucene to investigate search issues on an umbraco site but can't get it running. I get the following error when running Luke.cmd (Windows 11)- "Could not create the Java virtual machine. A fatal exception has occurred. Program will exit." Has anybody else encountered this before? I've increased the JS heap size to 1 gig which is the most common suggestion for this error, but it's still occurring.

I am upgrading a v13 site on Cloud to v15. I don't see a v15 equivalent of Umbraco.Cloud.Identity.Cms - anyone know what it's called now? If I remove it, I can no longer log in using Umbraco ID.

In part 1, I asked a question on how to create a DataType in code in Umbraco 14+ (https://discord.com/channels/869656431308189746/1327303970724777984) and fortunately I found the solution for that. However, now that I've been working more with the code, the experience is terrible. This post is two fold: inform people who want to do this as well and also decide if I should create a bug report or not. In this example, the result is the data type in the attachment; a slider on a scale of 1 to 10. First we need to get the property editor to use, which is the slider:

csharp
//propertyEditorCollection is an injected PropertyEditorCollection
_ = propertyEditorCollection.TryGet("Umbraco.Cms.Core.Constants.PropertyEditors.Aliases.Slider", out var propertyEditor);

Next we need to create the configuration for our new DataType:

csharp
var dataTypeConfiguration = new SliderConfiguration
{
  EnableRange = false,
  MinimumValue = 1,
  MaximumValue = 10,
};

//configurationEditorJsonSerializer is an injected IConfigurationEditorJsonSerializer
var configurationDictionary = propertyEditor?.GetConfigurationEditor().FromConfigurationObject(_configuration, configurationEditorJsonSerializer);

And finally create the data type:

csharp
//configurationEditorJsonSerializer is an injected IConfigurationEditorJsonSerializer
var newType = new DataType(propertyEditor, configurationEditorJsonSerializer)
{
  DatabaseType = ValueStorageType.Ntext,
  ConfigurationData = configurationDictionary,
  CreateDate = DateTime.Now,
  CreatorId = Umbraco.Cms.Core.Constants.Security.SuperUserId, //Deprecation warning on SuperUserId!
  Name = "Example slider"
};

var result = await dataTypeService.CreateAsync(newType, Umbraco.Cms.Core.Constants.Security.SuperUserKey);

Nice and makes sense! Except that this doesn't work and there are multiple issues with this. (See next post) https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1331176660518699062/1331176661106032701/image.png?ex=6790aa60&is=678f58e0&hm=71840613f6c02ef1e3d9eef31ae58b581ed658cec6905db712409574bd3ee59e&

I'm building a custom Workspace View and I can get the basic document data, but I would like to get the info which document culture is currenty selected while editing. Is there a better user guide or a list of those tokens and all new stuff in Umbraco 14+ ? It's hard to dig examples from the code on GitHub I tried

import { UMB_VARIANT_WORKSPACE_CONTEXT, UMB_ENTITY_WORKSPACE_CONTEXT } from '@umbraco-cms/backoffice/workspace';

but I fail to get the info about the current culture of the document I'm editing. https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1324669793818775594/1324669794162573385/image.png?ex=6778fe62&is=6777ace2&hm=a51d28c8f71edd11489ebf98d57c71b84fda4a628073f1ee2852ff0911bf26a3&

How do we get hold of Umrbaco cloud support? Trying to deploy a new site for a client and not getting any reply from support. It just says wait a few hours and you'll get an email but it never comes. We don't really have time to wait hours on end to get this setup. Its supposed to be automatic and painless. Spent most of the day yesterday converting the project and can't deploy to Develop. I just wonder if this is worth it? Could have had this on Azure in an hour.

Do anybody has an example or starting point in "documentation" where I can get inspired to be able to add for example a circle after the name of a tree item if some condition is true. I do not want to make my own full blown content tree extension. I only want to hook into where the name of the items is rendered. https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1315674335561650197/1315674336132202516/image.png?ex=675844b5&is=6756f335&hm=0c1cea6f0769af2e7111b5d982dcb76681860028d51825f9c46bef03c2a2a7d1&
