Hi Angelo

Can you show all method "GetMultiLanguageRelatedNode"?

Alex

Hello Alex thans for the answer :) here it goes:

public static IContent GetMultiLanguageRelatedNode(this IContent content, int nodeId = 0)
        {   
            string sLanguage = Cultures.GetCurrentCultureName().ToLower();
            int iPageId = nodeId.IfZeroReturn(UmbracoContext.Current.PageId.Value);
            var relationService = ApplicationContext.Current.Services.RelationService;
            var relations = relationService.GetByParentOrChildId(iPageId).Where(r => r.RelationType.Alias == "relateDocumentOnCopy");
            IEnumerable<int> ids = relations.SelectMany(r => new[] { r.ChildId, r.ParentId }).Distinct();
            var contentService = ApplicationContext.Current.Services.ContentService;
            var nodes = contentService.GetByIds(ids);
            foreach (var node in nodes)
            {
                if (sLanguage == Contexts.GetLanguageByPageId(node.Id).ToLower())
                {
                    content = node;
                    break;
                }
            }

            return content;
        }

some of the methods are mine ... but "ApplicationContext" and "UmbracoContext" dont work :(

let me say also that i only was able to run U8 with .NET 4.7.2 i dont know if it helps ...

U8 works only with .NET 4.7.2 it's fine

Probably, you need to rewrite this method totally.

As I see this method uses ContentService, it looks like not the best performance. When do you use this method?

in U8 there is absolutely different support of multi-languages so maybe you need to rethink an architecture?

Alex let me reformulate the question

the problem its not the method it self ...because i know that the language engine has changed ! ... the problem is not getting access to ApplicationContext and UmbracoCOntext

so ... if i have a static class with several extensions ...how can i get the contexts without passing as parameter the service it self ?

in the U8 documentation it says in the last example that we can do like that :

IUserService us = ApplicationContext.Current.Services.UserService

https://our.umbraco.com/documentation/Reference/Management/Services/UserService/

the problem as i said its not the method, its the static instatiation inside a static class ( ApplicationContext.Current.Services.UserService) not being recognized

i dont know if i was more precise now ...

than you

You will want to use the following namespace in Umbraco 8:

using Umbraco.Core.Composing

Then you can access services like:

Current.Services.UserService

Umbraco 8 uses dependency injection and on top of that a composition layer. The above code allows you to get services (among other things) straight from the IoC container.

btw: The documentation sadly is not yet up to date with Umbraco 8. Whenever looking through the documentation look for the note at the top of the page that says "This article has not yet been verified against Umbraco 8.". That basically means that possibly something changes that impact the accuracy of the article. Sadly in your case you ran into one of the more massive (but good!) changes.

Hello Dave fantastic ... im elucidated now :)

is there a way to do this in the "correct way" ?

thank you

AS

ok

i read this article https://our.umbraco.com/documentation/reference/Common-Pitfalls/

but i will give it a try ... thank you a lot Dave ! :)
