Hi I have the below code public IPublishedContent GetPage(guid id) { var umbracoHelper = _umbracoHelperAccessor.TryGetUmbracoHelper(out var h); Return h.Content(id); } When I need a page I call GetPage(1234-5678-....) and the page is returned. This page could be 5 levels down. So the only way I'm able to get the parent is by writing something like GetPage(1234-5678-....).Parent.Parent.Parent Until I reach the homepage. That code looks ugly by adding multiple parents at the end of the GetPage function. Is there a better way to get the parent node for the site when using C#?

Hi, I've upgraded a local site from v12 to 13. I'm now trying to upload this to the server. The site is hosted on a third-party Windows VM rather than cloud, so there are no devops pipelines, only an FTP service. The upgraded site runs locally and I've updated the publish profile to use .net8.0 as the target framework (kept all other settings the same, such as Target Runtime: Portable etc). I deleted most of the files from the destination server as I'd read that stray v12 files can cause problems, but having then uploaded the new v13 files the site is throwing a 503 error. In v12 I think the logs were in

umbraco/logs

but I notice that there has been no

umbraco

folder created in the root of the published files. So my initial question is firstly where should the log files be on a v13 site? Should the

umbraco/*

folder structure have been created by the publish task? I tried manually creating

umbraco/Logs

and

umbraco.Data

on the server but that doesn't seem to make any difference. Thanks for any help.

We are experiencing an issue with image uploads in the back office. When I try and upload an image to an image field by clickng the upload button within the picker slide-in dialog, I cannot because it is greyed out. This is even after upgrading from Umbraco 11 to 13 and it's also a bug we saw on a previous totally seperate Umbraco 7 installation. Can anyone advise on this? The image field does have a start node, if that helps with diagnosis?

I am new to umbraco and trying to build a site as a learning project. I am trying to use

?expand=all

on the content api but properties of some nested content is empty. is about 4 levels deep in response object

Hi All, I'm trying to pack up a nuget package locally (as a test), the package is an RCL with static assets in it, targetting dotnet 8 and Umbraco v13. The Build works find, and I can directly reference the project and it works, but when I do

dotnet pack

from the CLI I get the following error:

..dotnet\sdk\8.0.402\Sdks\Microsoft.NET.Sdk.StaticWebAssets\targets\Microsoft.NET.Sdk.StaticWebAssets.Pu
blish.targets(57,5): error : Manifest file at 'obj\Release\net8.0\staticwebassets.build.json' not found. [..pathto/project.csproj]

I've tried bumping my dotnet sdk from 8.0.400 to 8.0.402 (the latest) and that's not worked. If I use the "pack" feature in visual studio it works, but the CLI doesn't.

Hi all, We've been having some issues with smidge in local dev. When working on css changes, they don't get picked up unless we do a rebuild which really slows down the workflow for our front end devs. Please can you help me work out what the optimal settings for smidge (RuntimeMinification) should be for local development without needing to rebuild and for when the site is published? Kind regards Paul

How do we configure bundles now? I was adding config in Startup.cs e.g.:

services.Configure<SmidgeOptions>(options =>
            {
                options.DefaultBundleOptions.ProductionOptions.FileWatchOptions.Enabled = true;
                options.DefaultBundleOptions.ProductionOptions.SetCacheBusterType<AppDomainLifetimeCacheBuster>();
                options.DefaultBundleOptions.ProductionOptions.CacheControlOptions.CacheControlMaxAge = 12000;
            });

But am no longer using Startup files. I have tried in the notification handler and I'm down to a single syntax error, undoubtedly a terrible way to do it but I'm trying to learn the new way as I go. FWIW other than this I have Smidge minifying and bundling as it should do ht @AaronSadlerUK https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1212081950794194994/1212081951251501166/image.png?ex=65f08a48&is=65de1548&hm=8051eefc44db1ed4afb92c0c39c87868a57c0f9b993fe9fefd52c94b114c2c01&

Hi I've been looking into the ContentService for Umbraco 13 and there's an example of creating a simple page programmatically but I can't find any examples of creating a Blockgrid or Blocklist programmatically. I have a document type which contains a Blockgrid/list which has a simple rich text editor to test against (and an image if this makes any difference). How could I save data to this Rich text box when it contains a Blockgrid/list? Thank you

In our umbraco 8 site when we paste from Word it seemed to automatically remove the Word markup tags and keep the normal styles such as Bold, Italic etc. In 12 this doesnt seem to be the case. If we use Clear Formatting it removes the Bold, Italic styles too. Any ideas if there is a setting in 12 that we can implement that will allow us to paste direct from Word to the RTE keeping the normal styles and removing the Word mark up automatically?
