    Does courier handle dictionary items?

    I am interested in using courier but I would like to know if it creates and updates dictionary items on the target site. Anybody know?

    The current version doesn't, but the new version coming in jan 2011 will be able to do that

    Cool, just in time - I have a huge video on demand site launching 3/2011 and that will be just in time for our QA sprints!

    We've got Courier 2 in a closed alpha since Jan and a public beta release will follow very shortly.

    Will courier 2 use most of the same config options as the previous version? I would like to start building out my configs now, but I will wait if it will be wasted effort when 2 comes around.

    I have courier 2 express, and can see that courier appears to let you transfer dictionary items at a time, but only 1?  Is there a way to transfer all dictionary items.  The same appears to be true of stylesheets too?

    It sounds like you're right-clicking on each dictionary item node and choosing the Courier item. Instead, go into the Courier section and create a revision to transfer in order to transfer several items in one batch.

    Yes you have to currently right-click each individual item in the tree, unless you setup your dictionary items as child-items of another dictionary item

    What Keith suggests is only available in the full version of courier 2 though

    Thanks for getting back to me.  Its a shame you cant deploy all at once.  You are quite right I have the express version and so cant create revisions.  Interesting point about child items, but unfortunately i have created them all now.

     

    I have also noticed that the dictionary items do not transfer across until you copy some content accross, is this a known bug or feature?  How would i transfer just one dictionary item across?

     

    Thanks

    Also some of the dictionary Items are being created in the target site, but their values are not?  Is this a bug?

     

    To confirm I am deploying the dictionary items, then deploying a page of content.  The dictionary items show up after the page is deployed but the values of the dictionary items are not there

    I don't see dictionary items after transferring. It is only after transferring a document afterwards that the items show up.

    Just got word from support, dictionary items are transferred, but you must touch web.config before they are visible. Something to do with caching.

    It's fixed in 2.5, problem is that dictionary items are cached in a private static hashtable, which we have to clear through reflection, on some occasions the clearing would not be complete. But with the latest change, it works as intended so dictionary types does get transfered, and their cache reset

    I'm using Umbraco 4.11.7 with Courier 2.7.5.1.90.v4, and I've found that I'm still having to touch the web.config file, as mentioned in this thread, in order to get the updated dictionary value to show up on the target site.  Was this really fixed at one time, and has it become an issue again?

    Hi Steve

    To my knowledge, the dictionary handling has not been changed, but there might be some changes in 4.11.7 that makes this happen again, will have a look

    Well with version 6 of umbraco and the latest version of courier, this problem is still there 3 years later :/

    Did anyone figure out a hack to get dictionary items to update?

    I created a Dictionary refresher to solve the problem. Not ideal but it works
