    Issue with NewsletterStudio.Api in the NewsletterStudioSubscribe.cshtml, in an Umbraco 8 site

    I have just inherited on old Umbraco 8 site which uses NewsletterStudio and has the following nuget packages installed:

    NewsletterStudio 3.0.9
    NewsletterStudio.Core 3.0.9 NewsletterStudio.Web 3.0.9

    On trying to get the site to build, the 1st issue I have is with the NewsletterStudioSubscribe.cshtml, any line using, NewsletterStudio.Api, eg

    if (NewsletterStudio.Api.IsValidEmail(txtEmail))

    show a red line under it with the error,

    'Api' does not exist in the namespace 'NewsletterStudio'

    As far as I can tell this view is provided as a template and hasn't been touched. Am I missing something else I need to install?

    Hi!

    It looks like some kind of old macro, this method existed in v2 but was removed and moved into the INewsletterStudioService in v3 and above.

    Ah ok makes sense, thanks. I also noticed errors relating to missing code-behind files for aspx pages in \App_Plugins\NewsletterStudio\Pages, but as all I have is what I've been handed I'm unsure if these should actually be here, any comment on that?

    Thanks again

    Hi!

    Modern versions of the package (Umbraco 8 and above) should not have any aspx files - maybe the site was upgraded from an earlier version of Umbraco? Sounds like it was and that any old legacy files for the package was left and not cleaned up during the migration/upgrade.

    If you are on 3.0.9 it should be safe to remove these aspx-files.

    One last thing if you don't mind me asking, when building the site now I get a load of these errors

    BeginContext("~/App_Plugins/NewsletterStudio/Themes/Default/Views/Controls/Button.cshtml", 259, 4, true);

    WriteLiteral("\r\n\r\n");

    EndContext("~/App_Plugins/NewsletterStudio/Themes/Default/Views/Controls/Button.cshtml", 259, 4, true);

    They are all related to NewsletterStudio views. I have updated the Newsletter packages to 3.0.18 and have the up-to-date Microsoft.Aspnet.Mvc and Microsoft.Aspnet.razor packages for the version on .NET it's running. All other errors I had before are gone so I'm hoping this is the last hurdle, any info you have appreciated.

    Thanks again.

    Hi!

    This looks like an error from the "modern" version of the package. I have never seen this before, it looks like you're trying to compile the build in views which you should not do.

    Look for settings around compiling the views and try to exclude anything from our package from this.
