It seems the events don't get hit either. Both the interfaces (ApplicationEventHandler and umbraco.BusinessLogic.ApplicationBase)

Hi Marin,

I assume the Umbraco version is incorrect? But FieldAdapter should work, better to use a FieldProvider by the way, one of the recent changes.

But weird that your Adapter never gets hit, it should so can you share the code? If you are mapping against a native Umbraco Date field I would love to know which one I've missed in the advanced settings.

Best,

Richard

6.5.1 indeed :)

I will try out the FieldProvider as well.

Here is the code.

namespace ImportService.CmsImport.FieldAdapters
{
    public class Date : IFieldAdapter
    {
        public Guid DataTypeId
        {
            get { return new Guid("2740bb3b-13c7-477f-87b8-be6a3c7f3464"); }
        }

        public object Parse(object value, Property property, FieldAdapterOptions fieldAdapterOptions)
        {
            /*              
             * If date value, first do a parse exact, otherwise the date is not recognised as date.
             * this takes care of birthdate and memberdate
             * 
             */
            if (property.PropertyType.DataTypeDefinition.Text == "Date Picker")
            {
                DateTime parsedDate;
                DateTime.TryParseExact(value.ToString(), "yyyyMMdd", CustomFunctions.SetCulture(), DateTimeStyles.None, out parsedDate);

                value = parsedDate;
            }
            return value;
        }
    }
}

So if you put a breakpoint on the if statement it doesn't get hit? Weird it should be since all is public.

by the way: trying out the fieldprovider. Can you show me a sample? I can't open your page. It gives me a javascript error (waiting for script to execute)  http://www.richardsoeteman.net/CategoryView,category,CMSImport.aspx:152

(I think I had the same experience some time ago and emailed you on it, by now I have a new pc, but the error continues in firefox and chrome)

Yes blog needs to be updated, some video script is killing it try this one http://www.richardsoeteman.net/2013/12/05/FieldProvidersInCMSImport25.aspx

Ok, I got it working using the fieldprovider. Thanks!

(the Example image was loaded at the absolute bottom of the page, I discovered it at last :)

Thanks!
