I have a hangfire task that loops through a bunch of data from an API, uses it to either Save, Save & Publish or Unpublish multiple content items. The ContentService itself seesm to be working as expected and is able to update each bit of content correctly, but I'm seeing the following error somewhat sporadically.

prolog
[12:30:03 ERR] Error occurred executing workItem.

This error seems to occur more frequently on the first run, then less so afterwards, although it does still happen. For context, it's currently updated around 20 content items.

Umbraco v15.1.1 The IPublishedContentCache.GetByRoute method has been deprecated, but no alternative is suggested in the code, nor in the docs. Searching the source, this method is still being used in a few places, but the unit tests have all been commented out with a "FIXME" tag. Is there an alternative method we should be using?

Our customer failed to login a couple of times and got locked out. We tried to lock out the member in the backoffice. The operation succeeds, but the member remains locked out. How to unlock the user? I cannot find any errors in logs.

Anyone got any tips/ideas for the best way to debug how asp.net deserializes objects when using a ApiController ? my google fu is failing me for this one 😦 I have an object, that i can serialize to json, and in code (using the System.Text.Json serializer) happily deserialize back from that json string - but when i call an ApiController with the json the API controller just gives me back an empty version of the object 😞 I have seen this before and done trial and error to eventually workout what was failing, but this object isn't small, and i would rather get some form of error back from .net when it happens. so just wondering if anyone has any clues

V13.6.0 Using package Umbraco.Community.BlockPreview V1.12.2 While I can see the fonts in the RTE flyout, they're not applied to the content rendered in the back office. They are the same fonts as are available to the front end and the blocks are set up to use the same stylesheet as the front end. I also have this in the appsettings.json under umbraco:cms:content

"BlockGrid": {
          "EditorStylesheets": [
            "/css/main.css"
          ]
        }

Any ideas would be appreciated. https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1342868200852819968/1342868201113128980/image.png?ex=67bb32f8&is=67b9e178&hm=89e786a62c60379b9176f126edf48faa123a928095f81d54958b442d8cd21ee7&

Has anyone succeed in creating a block that is allowed on the tiptap text editor, programmatically?

hey out there, we hit an interesting one today... one of our deployments to a vps running windows and iis locked up for nearly half an hour. when we dug into the logs of the devops pipeline, we noticed hundreds of thousands of entries looking like this:

Deleting file (client-site\umbraco\Data\TEMP\MediaCache\0\0\0\2\d\4\3\c\2574.jpg).
Deleting file (client-site\umbraco\Data\TEMP\MediaCache\0\0\0\2\d\4\3\c\2574.meta).
Deleting directory (client-site\umbraco\Data\TEMP\MediaCache\0\0\0\2\d\4\3\c).
Deleting directory (client-site\umbraco\Data\TEMP\MediaCache\0\0\0\2\d\4\3).
Deleting directory (client-site\umbraco\Data\TEMP\MediaCache\0\0\0\2\d\4).
Deleting directory (client-site\umbraco\Data\TEMP\MediaCache\0\0\0\2\d).
Deleting directory (client-site\umbraco\Data\TEMP\MediaCache\0\0\0\2).

it turns out that at some point a hacking attempt had been run against the server and the

MediaCache

had grown to over 20gb of cache entries. the pipeline was recursively going into each folder and deleting them... we've just taken a look at https://docs.umbraco.com/umbraco-cms/v/13.latest-lts/reference/configuration/imagingsettings and we're going to use

CacheFolder

setting to move the folders/files to another location on disk so they don't get deleteded on a deployment. however we wanted to know more about the

CacheMaxAge

setting:

Specifies how long a processed image may be used from the server cache before it needs to be re-processed again. The default is one year (365 days, formatted as a timespan).

does anyone know if this setting causes umbraco to clean up the files and folders? e.g. if a cache entry is found that's older than the specified timespan it physically removes the files/folders from disk?

Has anyone configured Sentry to work with Umbraco v10+? I'll like to just hook all _logger.Logxxxx() calls. https://docs.sentry.io/platforms/dotnet/guides/serilog/ I think I'm right in thinking I should use the serilog extension. I tried added the following to my startup.cs Configure method... it builds and runs but nothing is logging to Sentry.

Log.Logger = new LoggerConfiguration()
   .WriteTo.Sentry(o =>
   {
       o.Environment = _config["Sentry:Environment"];
       o.Dsn = _config["Sentry:Dsn"];
       // Debug and higher are stored as breadcrumbs (default is Information)
       o.MinimumBreadcrumbLevel = (LogEventLevel) Enum.Parse(typeof(LogEventLevel), _config["Sentry:MinimumBreadcrumbLevel"]);
       // Warning and higher is sent as event (default is Error)
       o.MinimumEventLevel = (LogEventLevel) Enum.Parse(typeof(LogEventLevel), _config["Sentry:MinimumEventLevel"]);
   })
 .CreateLogger();

Hi guys I have a brand new Umbraco 13 installed and running. I would like to add more fields/properties to the members section so they could be filled out by a user wanting to register. Example: The member area already has a username and password. I would like to add an address field and a country field. The requirement here is the country field needs to be populated with countries so it can be displayed in the public version of the site (once a View is created) but also needs to be in the admin section (so if a customer calls up the admin team would create an account for them over the phone using the back admin section). Once the details are entered upon saving the record I need to send these details as Json to a third party service. I'm not sure how to override the Save functionality to take the additional action? All the examples I've seen are in Umbraco 7 but I was hoping someone could kindly give me some starter code/steps for this? Thank you

Hi everyone, I'm currently working on an Umbraco 12 project. My client wants the ability to manage a significant portion of the website's CSS directly from the Backoffice. They envision this functioning akin to Site Builders like Igloo Theme and uSkinned. However, they've emphasized that they want a custom solution without incorporating any packages. The CSS settings they want to configure from the backoffice include theme colors, spacing, fonts, dimensions, and more. Up to now, I've created custom property editors to store these values in the backoffice. However, I'm struggling to understand how Site Builders achieve dynamic CSS updates. From what I've gathered, there's a template CSS file containing CSS properties/variables. These variables in the template CSS file have default or placeholder values. When the user updates the "Theme" node (where all theme/CSS settings are configured), a copy of the CSS template file is generated with the updated values provided by the user in the "Theme" node. Subsequently, the master template links the generated CSS file. I have a (rather large) question: How would you approach dynamically changing the CSS variables? How would you go about programmatically generating a new CSS file and ensuring that the values stored in my custom property editors are correctly integrated into the newly generated CSS file?
