I have now updated the description to be more detailed. Can anyone give me a hand on this please? Thanks

Anyone has any input on this please?

To anyone in the future who has this same issue I have fixed it by doing the following:

Added the following block of code in line 13 of the vorto.js file, which can be found in the App_Plugins folder:

if (currentSection == "merchello") 
{   
                currentSection = "content";
                // 2871 is the id of any umbraco content node
                editorState.current.id = 2871;
                // 1129 is the id of the home page umbraco content node
               editorState.current.parentId = 1129;

}

Also I have added the following line of code on line 6957 of the merchello.controllers.js file, which can also be found in the App_Plugins folder

editorState.set(scaffold);

Its a little bit of hacking but its a workaround that works.

Hi Fabian,

The line number you're referencing might change as new Merchello versions are released. Can you specify where you're actually adding the line of JS relative to a method or at least provide a snippet with some of the surrounding code?

Thank you!

Hi Chris,

Here you go:

angular.module("umbraco").controller("Our.Umbraco.PropertyEditors.Vorto.vortoEditor", [
    '$scope',
    '$rootScope',
    'appState',
    'editorState',
    'formHelper',
    'umbPropEditorHelper',
    'Our.Umbraco.Resources.Vorto.vortoResources',
    'Our.Umbraco.Services.Vorto.vortoLocalStorageService',
    function ($scope, $rootScope, appState, editorState, formHelper, umbPropEditorHelper, vortoResources, localStorageService) {

        var currentSection = appState.getSectionState("currentSection");
          if (currentSection == "merchello") 
         {  
                currentSection = "content";
                // 2871 is the id of the packages umbraco content node
                editorState.current.id = 2871;
                // 1129 is the id of the home page umbraco content node
               editorState.current.parentId = 1129;
         }

And

// The content type scaffold
            function loadScaffold() {

                // every detached content associated with a variant MUST share the same content type,
                var detachedContentType = $scope.productVariant.detachedContentType();

                if (!editor.ready(detachedContentType)) {

                    contentResource.getScaffold(-20, detachedContentType.umbContentType.alias).then(function(scaffold) {

                        editor.detachedContentType = detachedContentType;
                        editor.scaffold = scaffold;
                        //currentScaffold.filterTabs($scope.contentTabs, $scope.tabs);
                        //currentScaffold.fillValues($scope.tabs, $scope.detachedContent);
                        filterTabs(scaffold);
                        editorState.set(scaffold);
                        fillValues();



                        stickTab();

                        $scope.preValuesLoaded = true;
                    });
                } else {
                    filterTabs(editor.scaffold);
                    fillValues();
                    stickTab();
                    $scope.preValuesLoaded = true;
                }
            }

is working on a reply...
