    Dictionary value in ApiController not returning value

    Hello folks!

    I can't get the dictionary value in an api controller...

    Setting the culture doesn't do the trick (either or both), and only an empty string is returned.

    Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = new CultureInfo(model.Culture);
Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = new CultureInfo(model.Culture);
var productSelectorPageId = Umbraco.GetDictionaryValue("productSelectorPageId");

    Any ideas, anyone?

    Hi Ulf,

    A few questions :

    • what is the value of model.culture
    • does the dictionary with key productSelectorPageId exist
    • does the dictionary item have a value for the language from model.culture

    Hi Ulf,

    Can you post some more code from your controller ?

    Because we are using the same approach and that works for us.

    Sorry, but no, there aren't any more code right now... (Except the method declaration and a try-catch.)

    Hi Ulf,

    Probably need the full code to see what's going on.

    Hi Ulf,

    Are you inheriting from UmbracoApiController ?

    If so can you try this

    this.Umbraco.GetDictionaryValue("productSelectorPageId")

    Dave,

    Yes, UmbracoApiController

    I've tested both of these, and on a page they both return the value, but in the controller they also return an empty string...

    pageCulture = Umbraco.GetDictionaryValue("page_culture");
pageCulture = Umbraco.CultureDictionary["page_culture"];

    Had to make a work-around in my code, so this is now for educational purposes.

    Ulf,

    I had similar issue with umbraco v6 site but I was doing some ajax with a surface controller. I fixed it by having a method that set the culture:

    protected void SetCultureForAjax()
    {
        //we lose culture and dictionary wont get labels therefore set it on the thread
        string code = _umbracoService.GetCultureCode();
        //Get the culture info of the language code
        CultureInfo culture = CultureInfo.CreateSpecificCulture(code);
        Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = culture;
        Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = culture;
    }

    Although looking at your code you are doing a similar thing to me.
