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

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?

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#?

First u13 site locally, .net 8 set up, just installed u13 and can see the front end fine but cannot log into the backoffice. Just keep getting "oops! we couldn't log you in. Please check your credentials and try again". I'm 100% sure my credentials are correct, I still have the commands with which I set it up. Is this an error which is actually referring to something else, ie, not actually a credentials issue? Think the db is set up correctly, like I say, I can see the front end ok. I have used code generated by PSW Codeshare - initially with uSkinned, uSync, SQL server etc, and then just a plain vanilla version using SQL Lite and neither backend worked. Is there something I'm missing? Thanks!

I'm trying to show the value of a Multi-URL picker from a block list. I've looked at @Joe Glombek docs here (thanks Joe! https://joe.gl/ombek/blog/umbraco-angularjs-filter-cheat-sheet/ I can get the 'title' from the picker by using myURLPicker[0].name However I want the actual node that's been picked, the 'link' In the API it comes back as 'destinationId', but that doensn't work here. Any ideas please?

I am trying to upgrade to U13 from latest 12 but I run into heaps of issues. After upgrading VS multiple times and installing dotnet 8.0 SDK etc I try to run my project. It wants to find the source for System.Globalization\GlobalizationMode.cs for debugging. Have you experienced similar problems and managed to proceed with the upgrade? What did you do in that case? Cheers and happy X-mas!

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?

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

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 there, What's the best practice to restrict umbraco backoffice to public? We found blocking /umbraco#/ in URL but not all of the firewalls capable of doing this.
