Hi jacob, the: "umbraco usercontrol wrapper" is an aviable feature out of the box on umbraco installations, that allows render *.ascx files directly on the back end, the package only make use of them.

What is your umbraco version ?

Regards,

Elias

Umbraco version 7.   I seem to be running into several other issues related to Umbraco 7.  Is this version considered stable?

Jacob, Umbraco 7 uses a totally different architecture in the back end, at this moment this package is not compatible with v7.

My advice: if you are looking something to run on a production environment: use the last stable v6 release, since v7 is a fresh release untill they have some days/months of use.

Regards,

Elias

Your advice is much appreciated.

Cheers,

Jacob

Can you help me?

Hi Desiree,

Based on the error description it seems you are trying to use as Editor Interface a class not intended to do that ("ASP.ImageGenInstaller")

Please check the next things:

1 - If you have modified any other data types; besides the installation of the package, because that error is related to another package "ImageGen" http://our.umbraco.org/projects/website-utilities/imagegen

2 - In the step 3 of installation , you selected: "VideoPickerDatatype.ascx" and not any other like "ImageGenInstaller.ascx"

3 - Review the doc type properties of the content that is causing this Exception.

4 - If none of the above works, go to doc type properties of the related content and remove the property that uses VideoPicker, save, restart IIS. Check again for errors if there is any errors have another problem. Alternatively do the same with the property that holds ImageGen.

Regards,

Elias

thanks.

On the settings section of the data type created, i can select only usercontrol ImageGenInstaller.ascx:

Ok, something on the installation of VideoPicker goes wrong, you must have a VideoPickerDatatype.ascx in that list, please check the existence of VideoPickerDatatype.ascx on [Umbraco Root]/usercontrols/Umbraco.VideoPicker/VideoPickerDatatype.ascx.

If the folder: [Umbraco Root]/usercontrols/Umbraco.VideoPicker or the file isn't there, try to re-install the package, check the umbraco log for errors. Files are placed in that location when you install VideoPicker. Also verify the permission settings on the file system, in order to allow the app pool write files under Umbraco Root Folder.

As work around you can paste the file by your own, but will be nice to know why the package setup are not finishing the whole process.

BR,

Elias
