    API issues with umbracoSettings.config

    Hi, I had setup the API and have been able to remotley retrieve a collection of umbraco node using the API. The problems started when I tried to update them and I kept getting stack overflow exceptions. I could not find any answers on the forum that worked for me so I downloaded the umbraco source code so I could step into the umbraco functionality to see where the crashes where occuring. The first crash due was to an infinate loop leading to a stack overload exception that occured when the code logged some information. I commented out the line and tried again, and it crashed on another log and then on looking up umbraco settings for things like XmlCacheEnabled.

    To finally get to my question do I need the umbracoSettings.config file on the remote compter accessing umbraco via the api and if so how do I set it up in my remote application?

    Hi Andrew,

    You'll need the Umbraco install to get the nodes. In the next version 4.1 I've heard that  it should be possible to get nodes using Linq. For now I suggest you create a webservice in your Umbraco Install that retrieves the nodes and let your remote application retrieve  the info you want through that webservice.

    Cheers,

    Richard

    +1 on using webservices to expose the functionality that's required. For the webservices part, umbraco comes with some services oob, so you could use those. Only a single drawback that users get wrongly authenticated, but Darren has a fix for this.

    Thanks for the advice I will look into using the web services to get it done.

    Hi I got it working with web services thanks, the only issue is that I need to recycle the app pool for the updated values to display. I turned of xml caching to see if that helped but no joy. But happy that it is publishing now.

     

    thanks for the help
