Hi everyone, I've implemented a language selector that i've copied from another project that we have running in v13. After selecting the correct languages and binding a domain to a culture I can switch to the new link. As far as I can remember, that should be enough to change the UI culture in Umbraco. I'm being redirected to the correct url but the thread culture does not change. Meaning that the "active" field will always be true for the default language (NL) even though the language should switch after switching to the new Url. This is because

Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture.Name

will always be nl-NL Does anyone have a fix?

var languages = _localizationService.GetAllLanguages();

        var publishedLanguages = languages.Where(x => pageCultures.Contains(x.IsoCode, StringComparer.InvariantCultureIgnoreCase));
        foreach (var lang in publishedLanguages)
        {
            var lowercaseIsoCode = lang.IsoCode.ToLower(System.Globalization.CultureInfo.CurrentCulture);
            if (!website.IsPublished(lowercaseIsoCode))
            {
                continue;
            }

            var isHomepage = current is HomePage;
            var content = !isHomepage && current.IsPublished(lowercaseIsoCode) ? current : website;

            var name = string.Empty;
            if (lang.CultureInfo!.IsNeutralCulture)
            {
                name = lang.CultureInfo.NativeName;
            }
            else
            {
                name = lang.CultureInfo.Parent.NativeName;
            }

            yield return new LanguageUrl
            {
                Name = name,
                IsoName = lang.CultureInfo?.TwoLetterISOLanguageName,
                Alt = GetLanguageUrlAlt(lang.CultureInfo!.TwoLetterISOLanguageName),
                Url = content.Url(lang.IsoCode),
                Active = lang.CultureInfo.Name.Equals(Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture.Name, StringComparison.Ordinal)
            };
        }

Anyone with examples or documentation on how to use the link picker modal in Umbraco 14? For one, the link picker modal is not part of

@umbraco-cms/backoffice/modal

like most other modals. I've found old'ish examples to indicate that it may have been (might have been the pre-reeleases), but its not in 14.1.0. I haven't found other references for it in the import map, so currently I'm importing this directly. Which feels a bit wrong - e.g. there is no cache busting in the URL.

js
import { UMB_LINK_PICKER_MODAL } from "/umbraco/backoffice/packages/multi-url-picker/link-picker-modal/link-picker-modal.token.js";

The modal also still feels a bit incomplete. The modal with is currently

small

, but I'd say it should be

medium

to give some more horizontal space. This is general for the modal, but especially around the URL and query string inputs being on the same line. Ideally the query string field should be shown below the URL field. When picking a content or media node, the title field isn't populated. But entering a value in the title field after having selected an node, the returned link object will only contain the

name

property, meaning the

type

,

unique

and

url

properties are lost. Similar if picking a node and then entering a value in the query string field, only the

queryString

property is returned. The

url

property will also just be the GUID key, and not an actual URL. In previous versions of Umbraco, the URL would be resolved before picking the node. https://github.com/umbraco/Umbraco-CMS/issues/16596 describes a part of this, but I haven't been able to find other issues about this. Someone from HQ that can shed a bit of light on the status of the link picker modal? Is it still being worked on, or should I create an issue to bring attention to the issue?

Anyone here using Obsidian? Not so much for note taking but I've been using GitBook for creating steps for common tasks. I keep asking myself why I am not just using an Umbraco site which I find much more enjoyable to edit. However, I thought I would do a bit of research and discovered Obsidian and further still the Zettelkasten technique. All seems very interesting so wondered if any of you have been down this rabbit hole?

While I am certainly impressed with the immense work that has been put into the rebuild of the backoffice, I find myself asking if it really is production ready? I've stumbled across numerous bugs while working with the backoffice setting up document types, many which are already reported as issues. I've looked at so many documention pages marked as out of date for v14. Obviously it's not an LTS-version, but it is a proper version release without any "early adopter"-asterisks. What are your experiences?

I have done a bunch of working exporting Kentico into an Umbraco solution locally (I also had to sell teeny bit of my soul). Now I'm trying to get it into Heartcore - is this even possible?

Hi. I would like to ask all the agencies out there: How do you host umbraco? Specifically if you have a cloud setup? At my agency we're currenly hosting all our solutions on a windows machine, for the most part utilizing SQL express for the database. We have one for dev, stage and 2 for production websites. When we're setting up websites we RDP into said machine and configure everything manually. I loathe this setup, i think it's arcane and cumbersome. Now luckly for me and my colleagues, we're forced to change hosting provider. Therefor i've been looking into Azure. I love working with it. IaC makes everything so much easier, and services like KeyVault blows our old setup of manually setting environment variables out of the water. Now i have to make the argument that this is the way to go. Sadly my team lead is very nervous with making the switch. He's afraid we will need a dedicated DevOps Team. That if anything goes wrong, we can't call a tech support etc. Basically he knows what he gets when he just RDPS into a windows machine. I think it's abit blown out of the water - I think we would have less issues with a cloud provider like azure and a easier time configuring it than we would with a IIS site on a remote machine. But then there's the question of costs. Azure pricing is not very transparent. With our old solution we had one price, which is much easier to forecast rather than x USD per cpu hour. How do you keep costs down? I would imagine for ie a DEV environment that you have one shared AppServicePlan, with X amount of AppServices. But then how about SQL server? The license is quite expensive, do you use a shared license or did you look into alternatives? for this setup i asume pretty basic CRUD umbraco sites, so propbably not alot of fancy Services Thanks a bunch! TLDR: Do you have tips on how to determine pricing and setup for x amount of umbraco solutions in the cloud

Hey folks. I have a specific case where the Client wants us to display a custom message on the propertyEditor when user is not part of a specific group Following this tutorial https://umbraco.com/blog/mvp-blog-beyond-umbraco-2-hooking-angularjs-again/ managed to add our own logic behind the umbPropertyEditorDirective. On the screenshot it's possible to see that we are trying to hijack the template with our custom template. What we tried so far: We tried to add editor: { view: "~App_Plugins/path/to/html"} (This didnt work) We also tried what you can see on the screenshot => This approach only works if we remove the async methods, which is not possible since we need to know the user group before changing the template. We tried to hook up a custom controller on the propertyEditor using the ng-controller="MyController" but this also didn't work I'm out of Ideas, can anyone help? https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1228292017021386795/1228292017738747924/image.png?ex=662b8315&is=66190e15&hm=e8c8c190bf70bc6d9318ba0c927849d4bfc961f19aa91f57935e0cb75cf1d9c2&

I'm creating a custom property in Version 13.2.0, and this custom property needs to get the value from another property on the same page, is that possible? All the posts i see seem to tell me to use the 'tabs' in

editorState

, but this doesnt exist in my angularjs. Some context: I'm creating a custom property on a block, this takes a form property that lives on the same page, just under a different tab. I'm using that to get the fields to use in that custom property. Basically, works the same as the form conditions does in Umbraco Forms, but doing this for content off the back of a submitted form. I could call an API endpoint to get it by the property alias, but I dont want to go down that route as I wont be able to get the property unless the user has saved / save and published the page already, so if a user creates the page and sets it up in one go without saving, it wont work.

Hey All. Attempting to upgrade our baseline project finally to 13. Got all of our other dependencies sorted however, when attempting to sort out Umbraco.Forms we are getting a version conflict error. Error is as follows:

Version conflict detected for Umbraco.Forms.Core.Providers. Install/reference Umbraco.Forms.Core.Providers 13.1.1 directly to project 
 MyProject.Web -> Umbraco.Forms 13.1.1 -> Umbraco.Forms.Core.Providers (>= 13.1.1 && < 14.0.0) 
 MyProject.Web -> Umbraco.Deploy.Forms 12.2.0 -> Umbraco.Forms.Core.Providers (>= 12.0.0 && < 13.0.0)

As far as I can see on Nuget. Umbraco.Deploy.Forms only goes up to 12.2.0 which doesnt seem to allow for Umbraco.Forms's "Umbraco.Forms.Core.Providers" namespace. Any ideas how we can get past this?

Hi all, today I have decided to host one of my sites in a VPS. I just got the site running, but the backoffice doesn't work. I figured because I am running the app behind a NGINX reverse proxy where the app is hosted on http://localhost:5000. Can anybody help me set up a certificate so that I can use https with kestrel? Right now it's fine but the backoffice of course needs to be accessed.
