We have uComponents in our projects. However, when I am running the project locally, I can't edit any of the macro parameters, basically I get a window popup but nothing in it. This happens in all browsers. I can edit the macros just fine when accessing the stage or production sites. I have an exact copy of the production database, so I am guessing it is something missing in my source files or IIS set up. I am running umbraco 4.5 on XP pro. The stage/prod sites are on windows server 2003.
Hi - well the project was set up already and I grabbed all the code via source control, grab a copy of the databse, then run the project locally on my development PC. So, the database/source already had uComponents in it. Since it was not working, I re-added the uComponents package to the project via Umbraco/Developer Tab, but that didn't really fix anything in the case of macros (it did fix an issue with the Media Picker)
So, there is nothing really special/different about the project set up that I am aware of, none of the things you mentioned (local server, not in a virtual directory).
Network Service has read/write permissions to all required folders.
Any ideas on what I could check with IIS or the project/files to see if there is something screwy with my set up? Other developers on the project said they can see the macro edit popup just fine when running locally - but they are also running Windows 7 (not sure if that has anything to do with it).
The error message is rather vague, I don't know where to look.
OK - I think I may have solved this issue - at least in my office computer - it seems that even though the project that is in source control SHOULD have all the proper dlls in the reference folder, it doesn't - I just copied about 10 dlls from the stage site to /bin folder and now it is working.
Not sure which one (or why) it was missing to cause the error, but seems like that was it.

The error message I see in the Console is:
Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 405 (Method not allowed) http://localhost/umbraco/uComponents/Items/range
Here is what the screen looks like.
And in the source looks like this - looks like nothing got loaded in the macroPane to edit:
I am posting in this group because it looks like uComponents is throwing the error.
I have tried to reinstall the uComponents package but no luck.
well looks like the screen shot didn't go through, here it is:
Actually this is Umbraco 4.7 (not allowed to edit my post!)
Hi Karen,
Which version of uComponents are you using? I recall there was a similar bug in an older version. Might be worth upgrading the package?
Cheers, Lee.
I have the latest - uComponents version 3.1.2
Hi Karen,
I'm not having much joy trying to reproduce the error on my local dev environment.
Is there anything special/different about your set-up? (Hosted on a shared-server? Medium Trust? virtual directory?)
Thanks, Lee

Today I am working in the office, on the same project, same code etc, but a completely different computer, using Windows 7, and I have the same issue.
OK - I think I may have solved this issue - at least in my office computer - it seems that even though the project that is in source control SHOULD have all the proper dlls in the reference folder, it doesn't - I just copied about 10 dlls from the stage site to /bin folder and now it is working.

Hi Karen,
Glad that you've got this resolved. I wasn't able to reproduce the issue on my local dev environment.
Cheers, Lee.
Here I am, almost 2 years later, having the exact same issue and couldn't remember the fix, but did remember I asked about it!
So may or may not be the same project, but in any case project and src control files created by the same people, so had the same problem.
Same solution.
is working on a reply...
