    Saved to Published?

    Hi everyone,

       hope you can help me out.  

    We have an authoring environment and a live environment and we are using Courier 2.7 to move content from authoring to live by the right-click method.

    I have a user that is making changes to pages and saving them (but not publishing, or even sending for approval).  Those changes, once sent through Courier are appearing as changed on the live site (with the little changed icon by them), but they are treated as published and the changes are visible on the live site, despite them never having been approved or published on authoring.

    Anyone have any ideas?  All help hugely appreciated :)

    (We're running Courier 2.7 on verision 4.8 Umbraco)

    Hi Salli

    So to get the details rigth

    - You have documents with unpublished changes
    - you transfer these documents with courier
    - They appear to be documents with unpublished changes in the tree
    - But the changes appear on the frontfacing site anyway

    correct?

    Hi Per,

      yep, that's right.

    The only way I can get the changes not to publish automatically is to set a 'publish at' date in the future...that way the destination site seems to hold the changes, but if I don't put a 'publish at' date in then it publishes the changes as soon as they reach the destination :(

    These documents had previously been published.  If I create a brand new document and save the changes, it transfers the change but doesn't publish it.  It only seems to happen if the document had previously been published and then changes are saved to it.

     

    Thanks for your help :)

    Hi Per & Salli,

    I have the same issue described here.

    I am running Umbraco 4.7.1.1 and Courier 2.7.3 (local install only)

    Could either of you tell me if this was resolved please?

    Thanks!

    Simon

    Hi Simon,

       I never heard anything back so I assume that the problem is still there :(  

    We have taken the decision not to use Courier to move content from a staging environment to a separate live environment as we were having too many problems.

     

    Kind regards,

    Salli

    Hi Salli,

    Thanks for your update - can I ask how you manage your staging to live transfers now if not using Courier?

     

    Per,

    This seems to be the same position we are left in - we can't use Courier if it incorrectly takes content to live that has not been published in staging.

    Could you provide any assistance with this?  Do we have a config issue?  Or is this a known bug?  Is there anything we coudld try?

    Any help greatly appreciated.

    Regards,

    Simon

    It was decided to go with the default Umbraco setup for HA of having a staging area and the live site all using the same db, that way we don't need to use Courier at all.  There is an Umbraco TV video about the HA setup that explains how to go about it.

    We did use Courier at the beginning of the development stage for moving doc types from one dev area to another but ran into a few issues where allowed child nodes didn't seem to be couriered completely.  The big deal breaker for us though as far as Courier was concerned was the amount of data in our system...it took hours to try and send content so it just wasn't viable for us unfortunately.
