Hi Jeff

Not sure what GM stands for? However...

What user type are you logged in as? And have the user type got access to the media section?

Try checking your user settings and see if there is a checkbox for the media section.

If that IS in place then try checking the /app_data/logs file and see if it reveals any issues.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Cheers, Jan

Sorry I mean RC.  I am using an admin account. There is a checkbox already selected for media. Nothing in the logs.

Hi Jeff

No worries, just got confused - perhaps a special version I did not know about ;-)

Hmm, could you send a screendump of your users settings?

What is your setup? Server, Database etc?

Hi Jeff

Did you check out the installation documentation as well to make sure all has been setup correctly?

When I upgraded to 7.1 beta I lost the media icon. Using SQL 2005 , Windows Server 2008

Also tried to create a new user as an administrator, but the same issue occurs. 

Hi Jeff

Wow, that's really odd. It's not even selectable in the sections...

Could you see if upgrading to 7.1RC helps? It's right next to the beta download.

If that does not help I think you should create an issue on the issue tracker describing your process with as much detail as possible so the guys have something to work with. It would be a good idea to reference this post as well.

Hi Jeff

Have you checked that you are not missing the "media" element in /config/applications.config

or perhaps if the application pool is restarted and the browsers cache is cleared it might be added?

Here's my application.config file. Restarted site a few times. 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<applications>

<add alias="content" name="Content" icon="traycontent" sortOrder="0" />

  <add alias="media" name="Media" icon="traymedia" sortOrder="1" />

Hi Jan, I upgraded to RC, I just starting having the issue when I moved to 7.1 beta. When I upgraded to RC the issue wasn't resolved

Hi Jeff

Ok, that's really odd - perhaps you should try and file a bug report at the issue tracker if you have checked everything you can. But make sure to provide as much information as possible to make it easier on the guys. You can file an issue here http://issues.umbraco.org/issues

Just out of curiosity - Does this also happen if you make a fresh installation of v7.1RC ?

/Jan

This seems related, when try to insert a media item I get this error from the  Media API

/umbraco/backoffice/UmbracoApi/Media/GetChildren?id=-1&pageNumber=0&pageSize=0&orderBy=SortOrder&orderDirection=Ascending&filter=

)]}',
{"Message":"Authorization has been denied for this request."}

Hi Jeff

Really puzzled about what is going on there...

Could you try and download v7.1 final? It was released yesterday... and just do a fresh installation of that to see if it keeps happening to you?

If it works in the fresh install would you then be able to merge your content into the new installation using the usync package perhaps?

is working on a reply...
