Hi Team,

I have a requirement to auto increment PropertyList class value. Can you please provide suggestions to acheive this? Below are the classes which i have created.

public class QuestionOption
{
private int _id;

[Required]
[Editable(false)]
public virtual int Id
{
get
{
return _id;
}

set
{
_id = value;
}
}

[Required]
public virtual string Name { get; set; }
}

/// <summary>
/// Selection base page
/// </summary>
public class SelectionBase : QuestionBasePage
{
/// <summary>
/// Gets or sets the options
/// </summary>
[Display(
GroupName = SystemTabNames.Content,
Name = "Options",
Order = 100)]
[EditorDescriptor(EditorDescriptorType = typeof(CollectionEditorDescriptor<QuestionOption>))]
public virtual IList<QuestionOption> Options { get; set; }
}

We are using 'IList<propertyTypeInHere>' for page properties in a few places, and one of those instances we wish to extend the size of the 'UiWrapperType.Floating' window. We've managed to change the size with some simple css :

.Sleek .epi-dialog-landscape .dijitDialogPaneContentArea {
    height: 450px !important;
}
.Sleek .epi-dialog-landscape, .Sleek .epi-dialog-portrait, .Sleek .epi-dialog--auto-height {
    width: 700px !important;
}
.dijitDialogPaneContentArea .epi-collection-editor {
    min-width: 960px;
    height: 800px;
}
.Sleek .epi-collection-editor .epi-plain-grid {
    min-height: 800px !important;
    width: 960px !important;
}

but unfortunately this applies the css to ALL IList<> properties. We'd like to us an CollectionEditorDescriptor or Dojo Javascript to add a class to the HTML so that the above CSS can be targetted to only that instance. Anyone done anything similar? 

Our current basic collection editor definition:

[EditorDescriptorRegistration(TargetType = typeof(IList<ourPropertyType>))]
    public class OnPageCollectionEditorDescriptor : CollectionEditorDescriptor<ourPropertyType>
    {
        public override void ModifyMetadata(ExtendedMetadata metadata, IEnumerable<Attribute> attributes)
        {
            base.ModifyMetadata(metadata, attributes);
            metadata.CustomEditorSettings["uiType"] = metadata.ClientEditingClass;
            metadata.CustomEditorSettings["uiWrapperType"] = UiWrapperType.Floating;
        }
    }

Hi,

I randomly get an error in edit mode for a LinkItemCollection in my solution that is running CMS 7.

When clicking on the edit button for a LinkItemCollection the following error is shown in the modal:

For me it seems that this is related to Episerver and not our implementation. Does anyone have an idea about what can be the reason?

Thank you in advance.

Hi,

I wonder how to place a label without a text area in EPI server forms, just a text label, any idea? Also I wonder why my captcha is letters not a check box?

I have used,

CommunitySystem.CurrentContext.DefaultSecurity.RemoveUser(IUser user);

To remove user.

However, this was working fine. But suddenly it has given an error. And it keeps happening forever. The exception throws from the RemoveUser(IUser user).

The exception details are here as below,

System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException (0x80131904): Execution Timeout Expired. The timeout period elapsed prior to completion of the operation or the server is not responding. ---> System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception (0x80004005): The wait operation timed out

As per above error, it seems like it is happening due to a DB issue. But what DB? How Can I diagnose? What could cause this? Any help appreciated. Thank you.

Hi,

I have no issues in adding fields so that they get indexed properly in Find and usable for filtering/sorting etc...

Now for performance reasons (The example bellow is a simple example) I would like that returned search results be directly hydrated from the Find Search result.

The conventions:

protected void ApplyNodeContentConventions(EPiServer.Find.ClientConventions.TypeConventionBuilder<FoodNode> conventionBuilder)
        {
            //Add custom field to search index            
            conventionBuilder.IncludeField(x => x.DefaultImageUrl(), (x, value) => x.SetDefaultImage(value)); 
        } 

The Search Query:

            var resultsN = _findClient.Search<FoodNode>().PublishedInCurrentLanguage()
                                                        .Filter(i => i.DefaultImageUrl().Exists())
                                                        .Take(1000)
                                                        .GetResult<FoodNode>()
                                                        ?.ToList();

The Setter is never called when the results return. (I tried with GetContentResult without success)
This gives performance issue because for each results I now have to call the asset loader... I think it could be avoided since the DefaultImageUrl is part of the Find result payload.

I followed the documentation from here: https://world.episerver.com/documentation/Items/Developers-Guide/EPiServer-Find/9/DotNET-Client-API/Customizing-serialization/Including-fields/ 

Hi!

We are running Commerce 11.2.2 and are still using workflows. We just found out that exceptions are caught when we run the CartValidate workflow.

Our code:

public bool AddToCart(string code, decimal quantity, out string warningMessage)
        {
            var entry = CatalogContext.Current.GetCatalogEntry(code);
            if (SiteContext.Current.Currency != _cartHelper.Cart.BillingCurrency)
            {
                SiteContext.Current.Currency = _cartHelper.Cart.BillingCurrency;
            }
            var lineItem = _cartHelper.AddEntry(entry, quantity, false);
            // If this is not set explicitly, 
            // place price does not get updated by workflow
            _cartHelper.Cart.ProviderId = "frontend";
            ValidateCart(out warningMessage);
            return _cartHelper.LineItems.Select(x => x.Code).Contains(code);
        }

Running this code gives us this exception:

Mediachase.BusinessFoundation.Data.Meta.ObjectNotFoundException: Object Contact.PrimaryKeyId = 'c0105be4-02c0-4bb5-a257-0b9c76dfa12e' not found

Removing this line of code:

 ValidateCart(out warningMessage);

Which runs the CartValidate workflow, and the exception goes away so I guess there is something in the workflow.

The web works just fine, but I'm nort sure if this affects the perfrormance in any way?

While setting up Search on a v11 instance, I noticed that clicking "Index content" in the admin section throws a permissions error. There was one other forum post which hinted at the admin role being the cause of the issue, but I'm not really doing anything crazy for mapped roles. Just one named AD group and thats it.

Edit --> I should add that Im currently using ADFS for authentication, dont know if that matters. 

Has anyone else ran across this before? Below is the detailed error

Hello,

There is already a post for this question but it seems to be archived for new posts. Please refer to https://world.episerver.com/forum/developer-forum/-Episerver-75-CMS/Thread-Container/2017/8/content-expired-event/

Is there an event that runs when the content is expired or is expiring? I tested SavingContent but it does not get fired in this case. I am also not interested in scheduling/scheduled content since they run at the time when the page is marked with an expiration date, not at the time of the expiration date.

Here is my ImageMedia.cs file which inherits ImageData

public class ImageMedia : ImageData
{
public virtual string AltText { get; set; }
public virtual string TitleText { get; set; }
}

And it is displaying in the editmode as follows,

I have made a ContentReference as like below in the block

[CultureSpecific]
        [Required]
        [UIHint(UIHint.Image)]
        [Display(
            Name = "Image",
            GroupName = SystemTabNames.Content,
            Order = 40)]
        public virtual ContentReference Image { get; set; }

However, when I used to show that in the view (Web Forms), it is just displaying the image. Without having any Alt text or Title.

I have accessed that image like below in the view,

<EPiServer:Property runat="server" PropertyName="Image" CssClass="imageCls"></EPiServer:Property>

When it is rendered in view, the code looks like this,

<img title="true" class="imageCls" src="/globalassets/elephant.jpg" style="border-width:0px;">

How can I show the AltText and the TitleText as "alt" and "title" in the finally rendered view?

Thanks in advance :)

Hi,

We installed the latest version of Episerver.Marketing.Testing, 2.5.5 in our solution and now our webapi routes don't work anymore. We get the following error on all our webapi routes: 

ExceptionMessage: "The object has not yet been initialized. Ensure that HttpConfiguration.EnsureInitialized() is called in the application's startup code after all other initialization code."

Before installing the package everything worked fine. I think it has to do with how the plugin initializes its own routes and does it in a way that we can't add our own.

Any thoughts?

Hi guys, 

very simple question, 

I had a static helper class that provides for me the Content References for some of the most used pages in the solution. 

Then other developer said, let' not use it but create an interface and class implementation with ServiceConfiguration  attrubute. And later on use it as a constructor injection to get the instance.

As far as I understand there is nothing wrong in the static helper class when i am not referencing none of the shared variables.. which in my case should not as I only get the references to the instances of the pages.. 

Where the approach with the dependency injection seems to me an overkill..  

In any way, just would like to hear the opinions of fellow EpiServer developers on this subject. Thank you

By the way, why Injected<T> is anti-pattern?

Hi,

I'm experiencing a very odd behavior in EPiServer Commerce...

Sometimes, very infrequently, an extra tax value is added to the cart. An example is a subscription for a publication for 149kr, which includes 6% sales tax. An additional 6% sales tax is added, for a total of 157,94kr. I haven't been able to reproduce this, neither on the production site, nor in the development environment.

In the code, I leave all tax handling to EPiServer Commerce (and the prices in the (single) market includes tax). I have, however, overriden DefaultTaxCalculator.CalculateShippingTax(ILineItem, IMarket, IOrderAddress, Mone) to always return 0. Since we never add shipping cost for a line item, this shouldn't cause any problems.

I haven't been able to find anything consistent about the (very few) problematic orders. None of the orders contain the same variations (though all of the orders only contain 1 variation), they used different payment methods, they all live in the same country (Sweden), no additional shipping fees have been added.

Has anyone else experienced this?

Any tips on how to try to track this down?

Hi,

I have a requirement of grouping the content in IList propery in CMS. Below is my property example.

[Display(
Name = "General questions",
GroupName = SystemTabNames.Content,
Order = 130)]
[CultureSpecific]
public virtual IList<ContentReference> GeneralQuestions { get; set; }

So here, Editor can drag and drop all the content references but i need to have one more option of grouping content references with name.

It's kind of Visitor group format. But i dont want to use this as it's only text group format.

Hi!

Is there any way to change the favicon inside edit and admin mode in EPiServer?

We changed the image and logo on the Log-in page as Jon Jones describes here.

Is there a similar path that can be replaced for the favicon?

Browser tab 1: Edit mode (epi icon)
Browser tab 2: Site (custom icon)

Hi I have another specific feature i have to make:

I want to have a 'checkbox' in a block, that can be used to reset other properties of the same blocktype. I use a  page events InitializableModule that checks if a certain blocktype is updated:

var repo = ServiceLocator.Current.GetInstance();
            var content = repo.Get(e.ContentLink);
            try {
                if (content.ContentTypeID == Hint.Constants.PollBlockTypeID)
                {
                    PollBlock myPoll = content as PollBlock;
                    var clonePoll = (IContent) myPoll.CreateWritableClone();
                    bool resetValues = false;
                    Boolean.TryParse(clonePoll.Property["ResetVotes"].Value.ToString(), out resetValues);
                    if (resetValues)
                    {
                        clonePoll.Property["CountAnswer1"].Value = 0;
                        clonePoll.Property["CountAnswer2"].Value = 0;
                        clonePoll.Property["CountAnswer3"].Value = 0;
                        clonePoll.Property["CountAnswer4"].Value = 0;
                        clonePoll.Property["CountAnswer5"].Value = 0;
                        clonePoll.Property["CountAnswerTotal"].Value = 0;
                        clonePoll.Property["VotedBy"].Value = string.Empty;
                        clonePoll.Property["ResetVotes"].Value = false;
                        repo.Save(clonePoll, SaveAction.Publish,AccessLevel.Publish);
                        e.CancelAction = false; //??
                    }
                }
            }
            catch (Exception exc)
            {
            }

It all seems to work, however, because i change the block whilst it was active, it keeps asking me to publish the page. How can i properly update the Block and go back to previewing the block?

Thanks in advance

I was wondering if there was an online SDK reference for Episerver Forms?

Thanks

Hello All,

I am starting out my journey into EpiServer and trying to spin up the AlloyDemo application. I am playing around with Users and associated permissions (more specifically Publishing a page). I ran into an issue where the Publish "popup" is not showing up. When I see the console I get the following error. This error goes away and the Publish popup comes up correctly when I uninstall the EPiServer.Marketing.Testing (I am not sure about the dependency between the Marketing.Testing and popups)

Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'contentData' of null

Would really appreciate any pointers.
