Getting it working with Umbraco 9 with custom config in appsettings.json

Using CMSImport

Umbraco 9

Hi

Umbraco 9.4.3 CMSImport 9.0

I am trying to get this to work for but having trouble with a couple of issues.

custom config
rich text editor

1. custom config - I found the v9 manual and used that as a ref to add the json to the appsettings.json and have purposely set the MediaImportLocation to a bad dir to force an errror.

When I go through the wizard it just uses the default root of site path - any ideas how to fix this? I have tried restarting the site/app pool, republishing the site etc but no joy

2. rich text editor - when I run the wizard the rte data type is not detected and is just seen as standard textfield - has this functionality been dropped in v9?

Cheers John

Hi John,

Can you share your JSON snippet for issue 1 and RTE settings should work when you use the PRO version. No Settings button next to the field?

Hi Richard

Thanks for the reply

I have managed to get the rte working by installing the 9.1.0.beta 6 - the cog now shows up for the rtes which didnt happen for the stable 9.0 release - all good there since I dont need this when the site goes live just an initial data pull in

for ref I also had to make a bin folder for the lic file since the v9 published dlls are in the root of the published files and it didnt like being there or in the wwwroot dir that the media etc is in - not sure if thats expected or not

still no joy on the config - here is a sample

Hi Sorry for the late reply,

This is fixed in the 9.1 release from this week. Mail configs are wrong in the JSON. If you use the following it should work

"CmsImportConfig": {
"MediaConfig": {
  "MediaImportLocation": "/imported-media/",
  "AllowedFileExtensions": [
    ".doc",
    ".docx",
    ".pdf",
    ".ppt",
    ".pptx",
    ".rar",
    ".xls",
    ".xlsx",
    ".zip"
  ],
  "AllowedDomains": [
    "some domain to parse here"
  ],
  "MediaImportKeepFolderStructure": false,
  "MediaImportFileTypeAlias": "File",
  "MediaImportFolderTypeAlias": "Folder",
  "MediaImportImageTypeAlias": "Image"
},
"IgnoredPropertyAliasses": [
  "umbracoMemberFailedPasswordAttempts",
  "umbracoMemberLastLockoutDate",
  "umbracoMemberLastLogin",
  "umbracoMemberLastPasswordChangeDate",
  "umbracoMemberFailedPasswordAttempts"
],
"LogDebugInfo": false,
"LoginCredentialsMailConfig": {
  "FromAddress": "[email protected]",
  "Subject": "Your account is ready",
  "ViewLocation": "~/App_Plugins/cmsimport/config/loginmail.cshtml"
},
"ScheduledTaskMailConfig": {
  "FromAddress": "[email protected]",
  "Subject": "Scheduled task executed",
  "ViewLocation": "~/App_Plugins/cmsimport/config/scheduledtaskmail.cshtml"
}

}

Hope this helps,

Richard
