Hello Umbraco Colleagues, I have questions regarding creating content in the back office.
I would like to use create.aspx in a custom section to create content nodes. Umbraco uses a url similar to the following: /umbraco/create.aspx?nodeId=-1&nodeType=content&nodeName=Content&rnd=60.3&rndo=62.7
My questions: What are the query string parameters "rnd" and "rndo" used for? Do I need them? How do I determine what values to use for them? (they seem to be different every time)
Thanks, any help is appreciated. David Hill @davidfhill
I don't think these matter, you should be able to use any value.
I believe they're currently random numbers used just for cache busting, so the browser always thinks a new page is loading and thus never loads these pages from the cache. It used to be a bigger problem but I don't think it's as prevalent these days.
So, I'd just pass in your own random numbers and see how that works.

Hi David,

Hope this helps,

Thanks, Tom. It helps a lot.
I have also tried it without passing either of those params and it seemed to work fine as well.
I do think I will pass in my own random numbers just to be safe.
Cheers,
David
