Language tab has dissappeared on Free licenced version
Hi again,
Am having a problem with a uCommerce site that is running the free licence in that the Language tabs (which are used to input content for products and categories etc) arent showing when I log into umbraco/ucommerce through the live domain name. At the moment I'm having to get around this issue by having site editors access the ucommerce back office through a staging url which doesnt have the licence installed.
is this a bug or a feature? I have tried adding adding a language/resaving a language in the umbraco settings section, but still cant seem to get the language tab to appear on the live site's back office.
I'm guessing its a configuration issue with my default language and the way the licence works, but I've already exhausted all reasonable avenues of possible fixes.
Which version are you running? Up to version 2.0.2.0 the tabs were removed altogether in Free Edition, but from 2.0.5.0 and on uCommerce will display a single language tab based on your defaultLanguage setting in web.config. It might be that it's not finding the default language configured in Umbraco.
I'm running 2.0.5.0 but from memory I may have just done a manual upgrade from 2.0.2.0 (i.e copying over dlls and replacing files) its also possible that Its getting confused about how many languages I have, as I recall trying to switch to british en-GB but then switched back to en-US to avoid the hassle. I've checked in my umbraco language table and I just have the one (en-US) is there anything else you could recommend I check? being that It's possible I could have some older files from a later version, should I try to reinstall 2.0.5.0 as from the package installer and see if that overcomes the issue?
Could you check web.config and see what the element <catalogConfiguration defaultCultureCode="xx-zz"/> says? uCommerce will use that to show that single tab. If there's no match it should grab the first one it gets.
Hi Soren, this is what I've got in my web.config <catalogConfiguration defaultCultureCode="en-US" enforceCategoryNameUniquenessWithinCatalogs="true" />
With manual updates it's hard to tell what's been updated and not. The DLL in question is UCommerce.Presentation.dll. You could try updating that manually. If that fails do a complete update of the site by reinstalling the entire package, which should see an end to the issue.
No worries. The important thing is that you got it going :)
There shouldn't be any issue replacing all the DLLs with the new ones. The trick is that we sometimes roll out updates to the database. In those instances you really want to run the entire install to make sure everything gets updated.

Your install should be fine.
Could you check web.config and see what the element <catalogConfiguration defaultCultureCode="xx-zz"/> says? uCommerce will use that to show that single tab. If there's no match it should grab the first one it gets.

Sorry for the inconvenience.
Hi Soren,
yep the updated .dll did the trick, thanks for you patience on that one. I guess I should also check that my other dlls are also up to date :)
