Thanks

Hi Thomas,

There are instructions here: http://www.codeplex.com/umbraco/Release/ProjectReleases.aspx?ReleaseId=9591

Be aware of course, that v4 is still in beta, so you might want to hold off on upgrading any production sites you have, and do a fresh v4 install for playtime!

UK meetup anyone?

Hi again,

I have completed the upgrade to v4 and have a problem when trying to create a new media folder / item. When I right click a folder and select Create I get an error in the Create dialog box with the message "Server Error in '/' Application."

But when I click on the Create button at the top of the screen I can still create new folders / items as normal. Also the Media folder in the Media section is now mispelt as "Medier", it was spelt normal in the v3 installation.

Are these known problems (I couldn't find anything on Code Plex) or have I messed up somewhere along the upgrade process.

Does anybody have any suggestions?

Thanks

Thomas

If you haven't already, try renaming the folder back to "Media", and double-check the permissions on the /media folder.

UK meetup anyone?

Sounds like a corrupt installation ("medier" is from the Danish language file)

Jeeeez, did I really start this :-)

Hi Lezzles

The link with the upgrades instructions points to the v3.0.5 upgrade instructions. Does these instructions also apply for v4 ?

I thought the was some DB upgrades for the new version :-)

Did anyone find a way to change "Medier" back to Media? I have the same problem!

Hi guys, for anyone whose interested, if you find the Media folder titled "Medier", then to change it you can edit the field in the database which I did using the following SQL statement...

update umbracoAppTree set treeTitle='Media' where treeTitle='Medier';

The better way to fix this (since this will just change the name) is to change the treeAlias to "media" instead of "Media"

you'll notice if you leave it as "Media" after an upgrade you probably won't be able to delete or add media items either.


I've posted up some details instructions on upgrading here too:

Hey, I have changed the treeTitle to "Media" and treeAlias to "media" as suggested but to no avail - I get this error:

[ArgumentException: ERROR CREATING CONTROL FOR NODETYPE: Media]

Any had this or thoughts to fix it?
Thanks ;)

Oh sorry forgot to mention - i have installed the Multiple Upload Files package and I hadn't tested the Media folder before install, maybe related...?

Well fancy that: i just forced a rebuild with an overwrite of a dll and we are in business.... the treeAlias MUST be "media" lowercase!

I also got a problem when creating Media nodes after a 3.0.5 -> 4.0 upgrade. Renamed treeAlias from "Media" to "media" and things worked again. The root node also got the correct name (Changed from "Medier" to "Media")

Hi, I've followed the advice of renaming the treeAlias from "Medier" to "media".
Now I can delete content in the media tree, but after I delete an item and reload the nodes, the icon identifying the item is changed to a "blank" icon and when I select the item the following error is created:
Has anyone experienced this too...?

Server Error in '/' Application.

I've done a bit of digging, and found that while the delete of a media item does indeed delete the physical file, it does not delete the nodeid row in dbo.umbracoNode. Once that is done, the "blank" media item is removed from the node.
I suppose that someting in the code behind the delete function does not delete the nodeid row correctly - or am I the only one having this issue...?
The installation is an upgrade from 3.0.6 to 4.0

Best regards,
Michael

hey.. i have the same issue. just upgraded from 3.0.3 to 3.0.6 and afterwards to 4.0.2.1 (the latest release, June 3rd) and the folder is misspelled (but the issue with the blank icon after deleting the media file was not reproduced).

To anybody with the same problem:
first step is to change treeAlias, next restart App Pool and login again to umbraco backend.
After that umbraco Media Management is working properly again
