Can anyone please advise whether Courier supports applications set up as Virtual Directories? I have tried to install it on an umbraco application which I have set up as a Virtual Directory both via the package (version 2.5.4.1) and manually without success. The package gave me the error:
The file '/Members/umbraco/plugins/courier/usercontrols/Installer.ascx' does not exist.
As a work around I changed my application to a root application and successfully installed the package and then changed it back to a Virtual Directory application, however, when I select the Courier context menu item on a node I get the following error....
System.ArgumentException: The virtual path '/umbraco/plugins/courier/usercontrols/SystemItemSelector.ascx' maps to another application, which is not allowed. From this I'm guessing that it doesn't support Virtual Directories, any advise would be appreciated.
If I understand your situation correctly, that is, you have an Umbraco site rooted in a virtual directory... I was under the impression that in general, Umbraco cannot be implemented that way. Also, IIRC, folks on the forum have said "don't root Umbraco in a vdir".
It is very tempting, as I've gotten them initially working under a vdir, but I recall something eventually went wrong - including the possibility that Courier was the problem.
HTH and maybe someone else can offer better advice.
Many thanks for your feedback, I was under the impression that Virtual Directory support (for core Umbraco) was introduced in 4.5.2, link to change log:
As a work around I'm managing to work with Courier in my testing so far pushing from a Root application to a Virtual Directory - but have failed to get any progress Virtual Directory to Virtual Directory as yet.
