Hello Jan!

And thank you for your reply. I tried you method, but unfortunately it does not help. Is there anything else I could try? I must say it is very frustrating problem...

Hi Petr

That's really odd - What path did you take in order to upgrade? And is the issue the same in different browsers?

Perhaps some of the tips in this documentation when going from 6 to 7 could be worth checking out? http://our.umbraco.org/documentation/Installation/Upgrading/v7-upgrade

/Jan

I upgraded from 7.0.4 and I always did recommended upgrade steps. And yes, same in different browsers.

I think that 7.0.4 was buggy in this. Even now when I do a fresh install of 7.0.4 and when I try to add a partial view macro to RTE it says

Request error: The URL returned a 404 (not found): 
/umbraco/backoffice/UmbracoApi/Macro/GetMacroResultAsHtmlForEditor

But how can I fix it? What else can I overwrite except bin, umbraco and umbraco_client folders?

Jan, your solution fixed my problem, I just forgot to clear browser cache. Pretty stupid from me, I know, lost a few hours because of that :)

Anyways, huge thank you!

Hi Petr

Aaah that's really good to hear! Could not wrap my head around what else the issue could be :)

/Jan

Hi,

I am having the same problem. I Tried your solution and cleared the browser cache also but still getting the same issue

Please help me on that.

Hi!

Having the same problem with an 7.1.1 installation, any solution?

Hi Jonas,

Yep It´s a known bug in Umbraco 7.1.1 http://issues.umbraco.org/issue/U4-4952

So I think the way from here is to upgrade your Umbraco installation  to at least a Umbraco 7.1.4, and when you are upgrading maybe you could consider to upgrade to a newer version e.g Umbraco 7.1.8.

/Dennis

Seeing the same problem here on 7.1.4. This site was not upgraded from another version, i.e. was a fresh installation. We're getting the error when the document first displays, and when saving:

Request error: The URL returned a 404 (not found): 
/umbraco/backoffice/UmbracoApi/Macro/GetMacroResultAsHtmlForEditor

Was the issue fixed in a later version?

In my case, it was an custom urlrewrite (.html to non html) that cased this error.
When I excluded all Umbraco folders everything worked again.

@Jonas, are you saying there is regular expression syntax for excluding the Umbraco folders? I'd appreciate if you could add it here. We do have URL rewrites, but only 301's from alternate domain names, so I can't see why that would cause a problem. I can test it if I have the regex syntax... :-)

Mark, I use this rewrite rule (in web.config) with some conditions to exclude /umbraco, /umbraco_client and /app_plugins

 <rule name="html" stopProcessing="true">
                <match url="^(.+)\.html$" />
    <conditions>
    <add input="{REQUEST_URI}" negate="true" pattern="^/umbraco/(.*)" ignoreCase="true" />
    <add input="{REQUEST_URI}" negate="true" pattern="^/umbraco_client/(.*)" ignoreCase="true" />
    <add input="{REQUEST_URI}" negate="true" pattern="^/App_Plugins/(.*)" ignoreCase="true" />
    </conditions>
    <action type="Redirect" url="{R:1}" redirectType="Permanent" />
  </rule>

Hi,

I'm facing the same problem here :\ 7.1.9 This site was not upgraded from another version, we're getting the error when the document first displays, and when saving:

Request error: The URL returned a 404 (not found): /umbraco/backoffice/UmbracoApi/Macro/GetMacroResultAsHtmlForEditor

Mark - I saw you have faced the exactly same problem. You found a solution? If Jonas solution worked I would be happy to know where exactly I should put this code? in the main web.config? where in it?

Thanks!!

First, check if you have any rewrite section in your web.config or some custom rewrites in /config/urlrewriting.config, and test with out them.

Hi @AvihayBit,

I haven't gotten around to fixing this yet, been busy on other things and the customer isn't jumping up and down yet.

You need to have the IIS Rewrite module installed on the web server. Then you can either:

1. Add rule(s) via IIS (this means you don't need to edit the web.config file).
2. Add rule(s) directly into your web.config file.

Jonas, I didn't found no rules to delete there :\

Mark, thank for the instructions, but I had no luck to get rid from this annoying error message...

I'm getting the exact same error for my macros as well. This is in all my instances of the site, even on localhost, which does not have any URL rewrites.

The error happens when loading a page with a macro: Request error: The URL returned a 404 (not found): /umbraco/backoffice/UmbracoApi/Macro/GetMacroResultAsHtmlForEditor

My install is v7.2.8

I'm having the same problem on a 7.2.8. installation.

The error occurs whenever I try to insert a Umbraco Form in the grid or the richt text editor:

Request error: The URL returned a 404 (not found): /umbraco/backoffice/UmbracoApi/Macro/GetMacroResultAsHtmlForEditor

Is there any solution to this?

I'm still at a loss for this on a 7.4.3 nightly. I mean, the macros work but they consistently throw an error in the backoffice RTE.

Nora, did you find a solution?

Jonas was right, it was a redirect issue with html files.

Hi,

I've 4 Macros to be rendered in TinyMice RTE. Everything is working fine, macro content is showing in the Grid, BUT the rendered content can''t be edited & saved in the editor.

Does anyone know, how to make the Macro content editable in TinyMice RTE? The NoneEditable Plugin is passing automatically the "umb-macro-holder mceNonEditable" class to Macros, which is preventing users from being able to change (i.e. edit) content in the RTE within this class.

Wondering where to find & change it to "mceEditable" - or trying to figure out why is TinyMice passing mceNonEditable to Macros??

Thanks

is working on a reply...
