In a class using IUmbracoContextFactory, I'm trying to get the Guid of a node for later use, but all I get is a load of 00000's. I've tried many things but none work. I think this should work but it doesn't:

var orderConfirmedGuid = siteRoot.DescendantsOrSelf<GeneralPage>().Where(x => x.Name == "Order Confirmed").FirstOrDefault().GetUdi().AsGuid();

I can get the Id, so I know the Name string is correct, but not the Guid. Any ideas? Thanks.

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.

Hello, we are using Umbraco Cloud with Umbraco v13 and the default External examine indexer. We have 8 different node types we are filtering on the search of the site. At some point on our Live site, Examine(the external index) stopped indexing everything and was only returning data from 1 node type. Those nodes are only updated by a Hangfire recurring Jobs. It worth to mention that our staging site, which have the same recurring jobs and almost the same data from the Live site, it is working perfectly fine, the Examine external index is returning all the expected results. Hence, after reading a bit, we decided to push the "red" Rebuild index button. After that, more content was coming up, but not all of them. Only the recently published one, like the ones updated by the Recurring jobs. And a couple of other that were "Save and Published" after the rebuild. The rest of the nodes that were published before the rebuild are not showing up. Does this rings a bell? Is there a way to force an import of the old published content? FWIW, the internal index returns all the expected data. And no errors were found on the logs related with Examine or "ExternalIndex". Als, the rebuild on the Umbraco interface was finished after about 2 minutes but on the logs you can see it took more than 20 minutes https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1296843811300970579/1296843811728916500/Screenshot_2024-10-18_at_11.33.26.png?ex=6713c36a&is=671271ea&hm=0313e1fa3de36a83cdee8d2240c86a6f4311a7e8561b59ed4606a662b909e4af&

We are using Image Cropper data type for one of the image field. In model its auto generating as ImageCropperValue. I want to get orginal image height and width for that field but not able to find any way Thanks in adanced

What are the recommended minimum requirements for hosting Umbraco (13+) on-prem? I can only seem to find that the minimum recommended Azure tier is S2 but nothing about on prem. What would the equivalent for a server be?

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!

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]
Description=Noels umbraco CMS web
Wants=network.target
After=network.target

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.

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>();
}

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.
