Hi here. I'm a CMS Manager for an AU based company and we're trying to migrate our sites and create new sites in Umbraco. Sorry, but this will be long. Some notes: - Using Umbraco 11.4.2 - Only have an editor access (but was just granted an Admin). - Have no familiarity when it comes to setting up a new site from scratch. - 2 sites already in Umbraco - AU and rest of the world; only AU is live. https://au.blueberrymarkets.com/ and https://blueberrymarkets.com/ (not yet live, but site root + homepage is in Umbraco). Requirement - Our management would like to create a new site for CN, and other languages. We currently have one for Australia that was built in Umbraco 11 and went live last month. Questions- 1. I reached out to your HQ via email and in contact with Catalina, however, I need more information and recommendations. With the requirement above, on the developer side, would you recommend a to create a multisite setup or multilanguage instead? In terms of setting up, which is longer or more tedious? I only work as a Content Manager/Editor and have not set up a site from the start. 2. Our team also would like to install a package or translation plugin - The purpose of this in case is to translate the copy of the current AU (en) site to CN/Chinese and the copy will then be reviewed and edited as needed by a local team member . Is this possible and what would be the best translation package? Second, if we set up a multilanguage site instead, do we still need a translation package? Additional question also on this. I was looking at https://docs.umbraco.com/umbraco-cms/tutorials/multilanguage-setup. Does this mean that if there are edits or customization of the other language from the AU en site, we cannot do this? Thank you in advance.
Database created/restored from umbraco cloud has no users

Coming back to umbraco cloud after a period of not using. When creating a local copy for development I find my local db is created with no users apart from an admin user, which I have no idea of a pwd. The data base table has the usually hashed pwd with an entrty of
default
? Any ideas what credentials to actually use to gain access as the admin? Reading around it seems that umbraco.io users aren't created as a security measure. So I gues my issue of an unknown admin user only is that I only have umbraco.io users set up? It seems I can add the umbraco.io users by changing the
data\backoffice\users
and removing the leading underscore from the
_user_name.courier
but this seems to be a one time deal only creating users when the local site spins the db up for the very first time, prior to the restore content from cloud. (ps can't see any mention of users in the cloud documentation for creating a local copy have I missed something) I've tried the
echo > deploy
approach in the data folder to get a new user imported once the local db is already set up without joy. (indeed all I see here is a
deploy
file created and not the
deploy-complete
as the docs mention? How can I trigger an import of new users if required? Cheers all https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1198381723176665219/1198381723361231021/image.png?ex=65beb2f3&is=65ac3df3&hm=4ffd647b66814702ca063b25636c78c6af4aaede4a6cbd49a4ecd004aa0a7e2a&
Creating a structure that allows for editor defined filters and filter values

Hey all, Bit of a brain tickler and wondering how people may approach this to sort of give me a hand in the right direction 😅 Im in the process of trying to figure out how to create a listing page which uses filters and filter values that are defined by a content editor themselves and "tagged" onto the child pages that will ultimately live in this overview page. Wondering if anyones tackled this sort of issue before? First initial thought was to create a block list on the overview page with a content tab containing the Filter name and potential values, then a setting tab containing the filter "type" settings, such as - its a radio list, or a checkbox list, or a range slider e.t.c However, im not entirely certain if I could then somehow pull through a block list with "pre values" coming from the parent page onto the child pages themselves. Then i thought about doing it with simple node traversal, by having a "Filters" node, individual children for filter types, then allowing a child page to select from any of these children with some sort of content picker. However, that means that the nodes would technicall be routable via URL and I dont think that'd be the ideal scenario but if I could disable that in some way, that'd be top. Final idea I had was to use the Umbraco Tag property, and use some string manipulation in which the editor could type "filter:type:value" as the tag, and I would then take the tags on my overview page and effectively rebuild up the filter options from that, however I could see that being somewhat expensive if the site grows in size and also requires a bit of knowledge from the editor themselves to set up. Ultimately, if anyone knows of "the way" to do this, id really appreciate the advice 😄
