I have ben installing the dashboard feature 3 times manually, and thought that has to be enough...
I tried to look after a package for this feature without luck. I looked at the weather and 2 rainy hours later I have a package :)

you can download it from here

Hey Ronnie... this sounds like a great idea.

One problem, the installer doesnt work with virtual folders - tries to install to /config/... instead of config/, so with virtual foldeers it tries to install below the site's root.


Wishes he could work with Umbraco all the time.

The path looks like this /config/Dasboard.xml
Are you sure you have write permission to the config folder?

The problem is that the preceeding / (/config) forces the script to go to the site root (localhost/) instead of the virtual folder root (localhost/umbraco/).

no matter i'm trying to set up on my hosted server now, so if i can get it working (3rd time lucky) should be all good. i'll keep u posted

I placed the zipUpload in the devoper section, isnt it there?

I will change zipUpload to be placed in the media section instead of the developer section tonight.

hey thanks for that.. installed and working (not fully explored yet but seems good)

This actually got me thinking... wouldn't it be cool to create a full website hosting environment for clients through Umbraco.

The ZIP upload gives a input string is null if you don't select a location (would be nice if it defaulted to the Media folder or gave a warning).

It would also be nice, in my view, to add the zip upload to the core Umbraco? I can imagine most people will always bulk upload when first creating a website.

I'm having a problem with zipUpload. When I try to upload a zip to a folder in the media library, I get a "Could not find a part of the path" error. The zip with my images is created in the data folder with a guid, along with two additional empty folders, but an error is reported:

C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\mba\data\a4994948-1765-465a-ad0d-4bc4ef4941e7front_pagefront_page\barman.jpg

It looks like there is a missing directory seperator? Anyone have else have this problem or a fix?

Thanks,
Tom

@Tom: It might be a problem when you have a zip-file with folders in it. For me the zip-upload works great if I just have zipped files.

But I have started on modifying the zip-upload, to create the same structure in the Media-tree as the folders in the uploaded zip-file. And the files will also follow umbracos current file-name-standard (from /a4994948-1765-465a-ad0d-4bc4ef4941e7image.gif to /1234/image.gif)

Hi Tobbe!

I've done that update already, and also including a progress bar for large files (based on NeatUpload). I'll release it soon (the NeatUpload makes it a little tougher to install, though)

Jeeeez, did I really start this :-)

@Niels

I'm really looking forward to the update supporting folders in zips -- I've got about 2600 images in hundreds of folders to move over.

Thanks!

Can you elaborate on what the 'Instruction Board' is and what should be placed in the 'SourceNode' and "PropertyAlias' options for this to work properly?

Also, I installed sucessfully, but then when I click on the 'Content' section, I see this error:

Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.

Any ideas what I did wrong?

Thanks for your help!

I found that manuallyediting the config/Dashboard.xml file fixed many of my problems, though I still don't know what the 'instruction board' is about...

Here is what my Dashboad.xml file looks like now, in case anyone else is getting an error:
Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<dashBoard>
<entry section="default">/usercontrols/dashboard/LatestEdits.ascx</entry>
  <entry section="content">/usercontrols/dashboard/LatestEdits.ascx</entry>
  <entry section="default">/usercontrols/dashboard/newestItems.ascx</entry>
  <entry section="content">/usercontrols/dashboard/newestItems.ascx</entry>
  <entry section="member">/usercontrols/dashboard/memberSearch.ascx</entry>
  <entry section="media">/usercontrols/dashboard/zipUpload.ascx</entry>
  <!--<entry section="default">/usercontrols/dashboard/instructions.ascx</entry>
  <entry section="content">/usercontrols/dashboard/instructions.ascx</entry>-->
</dashBoard>
