I think I'm getting myself in a pickle here!! I have an U8 site with DTGE grid content. I've installed uSync Packer, and created a zip file from the backoffice (I have to manually add my content configs to the zip as their missing) In the V13 site, I've installed uSync Migrations and uploaded the zip file. I can see the migration in the Existing Migrations list, Site Files is ticked, BUT Converted is not. Do I "need" to convert the files, I thought that using V8 usync files, meant that I didn't need to convert them? I have tried converting, and then running an uSync Import, but this doesn't seem to work very well. I don't see any Grid Layouts or Row configs, and when I try to load the front end I get a "item with the same key has already been added" error from the internal Umbraco BlockGridPropertyValueConverter

Hi there 👋, I'm trying to host my Umbraco 13 CMS on my debian server. I installed .net8.0, umbraco (along with its templates), created a .service file so the CMS can run as a service and ran

dotnet publish --os linux

. Before running the service i started the web with dotnet build and synchornized some files so it installation would match my lcoal dev. That said, with

dotnet build

Umbraco worked perfectly fine - frontend, backend, file handling all went well. But with the service running the backend doesn't seem to work anymore. The browser is trying to fetch files like https://mydomain.com/umbraco/login/login.iife.js but the kestrel server just returns a 404. Nothing obvious is logged. I didn't find anything similiar yet - has anyone an idea what might be the cause / solution to the cause? This is my .service file:

[Unit]

We have suffered from this issue before when setting up a new project on Azure. Old thread: https://discord.com/channels/869656431308189746/1183873525031911554 Now, we are seeing this issue on local development on localhost:8080 on a project where we're upgrading from Umbraco 10 to 13. After logging into the CMS, there is about a 40-60 second wait. Then there is a call to

/umbraco/backoffice/umbracoapi/authentication/GetRemainingTimeoutSeconds

that returns:

)]}',
0.0

Upon which the user is logged out showing message "Session timed out." We have tried using incognito mode to rule out cookies, as well as completely fresh browser profile in Chrome. Are we missing something completely basic for this problem to occur? appsetting Umbraco.CMS.Global.TimeOut is set to

08:00:00

. 8 hours is more than 1 minute. We have not supplied any other setting that should affect this. In our previous 'fresh' project the settings were also default. Umbraco.CMS.Security.KeepUserLoggedIn is not set to

true

thus it should be interpreted as the default

false

. > When set to false a user will be logged out after a specific amount of time has passed with no activity. You can specify this time span in the global settings with the TimeOut key. This is exactly what we've done. Umbraco.CMS.Security.AllowConcurrentLogins is showing a bit of a strange behavior. We don't have this defined at all. But setting it to true, and then restarting Umbraco, and then simply reloading the browser window of the recently auto-logged out user in a fresh browser profile will automatically log them in and show the backoffice. Logging out above mentioned user and then logging in seems to work fine as well.

GetRemainingTimeoutSeconds

returns the full 8 hours. However, logging out, setting

AllowConcurrentLogins

to false again and then logging back in, the problem reappears. In our tests, this is the only browser window using the site. Why are we seeing this problem?

I'm a Tailwind newbie and although it's still feels a bit "wrong" I'm persevering with it. One issue I've come across is what to do in an RTE stylesheet. Is there some trick to getting the TW classes to output to the front end while still showing the manual styles in the editor itself? Thanks.

I have a custom blocklist property as part of a document type. It's very simple and only accepts one block component type. I am trying to access this property in my code. While following the umbraco documentation here: https://docs.umbraco.com/umbraco-cms/fundamentals/backoffice/property-editors/built-in-umbraco-property-editors/block-editor/block-list-editor, It tells me it returns an IEnumerable. On that same page, it says that I can pull the value as that or BlockListModel... but with either, it returns null.

if (content.HasProperty("locations"))
{
    var locations = content.GetValue<BlockListModel>("locations");
    (or)
    var locations = content.GetValue<IEnumerable<BlockListItem>>("locations");
    ...
}

If I pull the value as a string or dynamic object, it will show as:

{"layout":{"Umbraco.BlockList":[{"contentUdi":"umb://element/74437d1928534a9287430056e140b99b"},{"contentUdi":"umb://element/382ddba6783948b28696798b3b6dad16"}]},"contentData":[{"contentTypeKey":"0285ad7f-763f-4bc5-80be-45f85f8a39e6","udi":"umb://element/74437d1928534a9287430056e140b99b","city":"Colville","stateA":"[\"WA\"]","name":"Colville Toyota"},{"contentTypeKey":"0285ad7f-763f-4bc5-80be-45f85f8a39e6","udi":"umb://element/382ddba6783948b28696798b3b6dad16","stateA":"[\"OR\"]","name":"Coos Bay Toyota","city":"Coos Bay"}],"settingsData":[]}

In converting to the BlockListModel, it has to be erroring causing it to return null; right? I need to pull the values this way because I am using those values to calculate other properties and then save that property to the document. Anyone running into this or have a solution? Is this enough info? I feel like I've tried quite a bit without success.

Hello everyone, I am encountering some challenges with handling Save and Publish events in Umbraco, specifically using SaveAndPublishHandler class. Here are the details of my issue: **Problem Description**: I have implemented a SaveAndPublishHandler class in Umbraco to handle Saved and Published events for content items. The goal is to send an HTTP POST request to an external endpoint whenever content is saved or published with a specific ParentId (in my case, ParentId 1249). *Code : *

c#
        public SaveAndPublishHandler(IContentService contentService)
        {
            _contentService = contentService;
        }

        public void Initialize()
        {
            ContentService.Saved += ContentService_Saved;
        }

        public void Terminate()
        {
            ContentService.Saved -= ContentService_Saved;
        }

        private void ContentService_Saved(IContentService sender, SaveEventArgs<IContent> e)
        {
            foreach (var content in e.SavedEntities)
            {
                if (content.ParentId == 1249)
                {
                    var dataToSend = new { ContentId = content.Id, Title = content.Name };
                    var json = Newtonsoft.Json.JsonConvert.SerializeObject(dataToSend);
                    var contentToSend = new StringContent(json, Encoding.UTF8, "application/json");

                    using (var httpClient = new HttpClient())
                    {
                        var endpointUrl = "http://localhost:65137/umbraco/surface/UpdateApprovedAccount/UpdateApprovedAccountV2"; 

                        var response = httpClient.PostAsync(endpointUrl, contentToSend).Result;

                        var responseContent = response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync().Result;
                    }
                }
            }
        }

Composing :

c#
public void Compose(Composition composition) {
composition.Components().Append<SaveAndPublishHandler>();
}

See theres a breaking change in 13 when using RTE's with Custom Views (in the back office) https://github.com/umbraco/Umbraco-CMS/pull/15029 However it doesn't show an example of how to show the data. The raw data from the RTE now comes back as: {"markup":"Text from the RTE","blocks":{"layout":null,"contentData":[],"settingsData":[]}}` Can someone please let me know what I need to change this code from to show the value from the RTE in the new format? {{block.data.richText}}` Thanks 🙂 The documentation for Block Custom Views seems to me missing for 13 https://github.com/umbraco/UmbracoDocs/blob/main/13/umbraco-cms/fundamentals/backoffice/property-editors/built-in-umbraco-property-editors/rich-text-editor/build-custom-view-for-blocks.md

I get an error when trying to rebuild the examine index (umbraco 12) this is a new issue from upgrading from 8 to 12. Any advice in solving? Error message: Newtonsoft.Json.JsonSerializationException: Cannot deserialize the current JSON array (e.g. [1,2,3]) into type 'Umbraco.Cms.Core.Models.Blocks.BlockValue' because the type requires a JSON object (e.g. {"name":"value"}) to deserialize correctly. To fix this error either change the JSON to a JSON object (e.g. {"name":"value"}) or change the deserialized type to an array or a type that implements a collection interface (e.g. ICollection, IList) like List that can be deserialized from a JSON array. JsonArrayAttribute can also be added to the type to force it to deserialize from a JSON array.

I'm trying to find out how to render the element within RTE strings? I'm guessing that I need to execute a helper method of some kind to scan and render out detected block editors.

From v13 methods such as umbracohelpers

ContentSingleAtXPath

is being deprecated. For example, we get our global settings node as such:

var globalSettings = (GlobalSettings)_umbracoHelper.ContentSingleAtXPath("//globalsettings");

How can we get the same published content but adhering to current conventions? Looking at the documentation there is a method

Content

that takes a

guid

, but we do not wish to rely on a hard coded guid for this scenario. We need to base this on what the slug is named within the backoffice. And yes, we know there might be other approaches that do not rely on the slug to solve this, but this is our current scenario and not the only instance we need to cater to.
