Hi,

I cannot currently help answer the issue (as I am about to go out), but maybe this will help someone else with the debugging, I am getting a very similar issue when using CMS Import to import blog items, when I removed the Articulate.DLL the CMS Import worked fine and then I copied the DLL back in and the Blog is working as expected.

Here is the error I received:

What version of Articulate are you installing?

I tested the importer many times before the recent release so that seems odd. I'll have to test again with that test data to see what is going on once you tell me the version of Articulate.

Hi Shannon,

I have Umbraco 7.2.2 with Articulate 1.0.7 and CMS Import 3.1.1

Cheers,

Chris

I couldn't get CMSImport to work either (via SQL statement import) so this is why I went down the route of using the Articulate importer for a BlogML file. 

I'm using Umbraco 7.2.4 and Articulate 1.0.7, Umbraco is a clean install with only the Articulate installed. 

Hope there is a solution as this is the only thing stopping me from migrating to Umbraco - I've even downloaded the source files to have a look to see if I could find a solution but that's still a work in progress!

Hi Owain,

I have also downloaded the source and have a clean install up and running to debug, if you set the AutoGenerateExcerpt property to FALSE it will bypass the offending code.

You can see how to do so here:

@Shannon - I have attached a screen shot of the error that is being caught in the Articulate source.

Cheers,

Chris

Great, Thanks Chris, what BlogML did you use? Was it the sample I posted earlier? 

Hi,

No, I installed the CMS Import tool and their Umbraco Datasource extension, I have been pulling the content of an old uBlogsy blog directly out of an Umbraco 4.9 installation.

The issue is not actually related to the Import process, it's related to the UmbracoEventHandler within Articulate which is catching an event on the saving of the item and trying to create the Excerpt before the RichText content exists.

( At least that's what I think is happening :) )

Cheers,

Chris

ok, I'll try the sample I have found online - seems to be a lack of example BlogML files on the internet :) I've got a feeling the export I'm getting from Orchard, isn't BlogML and that may also be causing me some headaches!

I've added 2 samples to the docs: https://github.com/Shazwazza/Articulate/wiki/Importing#sample-blogml-files

I'll run some some tests today with importing and fix the excerpt issue.

Hi, I've released a new version today: https://github.com/Shazwazza/Articulate/releases/tag/v1.0.8

This addresses the issue that you were seeing:

The best overloaded method match for 'Umbraco.Core.Models.ContentBase.SetPropertyValue(string, string)' has some invalid arguments

And also an issue with search result sorting. You can see details of both issues in the release link above.

Great thanks! 

I hope to be able to contribute to this project at some point in the future. :)
