Hi Søren,

Which uTube data-type are you using? (Is it the Single Video Picker?)

Could you post the rest of the exception's stack-trace, we might be able to pinpoint the issue.

Thanks, Lee.

Hi Lee,

Thank you for the reply.

Yes, I'm using the single picker, and the stacktrace is:

 I switched to using the following, with the input coming from a regular textbox

<xsl:variable name="youtubeVideoId" select="uTube.XSLT:GetVideoId($currentPage/youtubeVideoUrl)"/>
 <xsl:value-of select="uTube.XSLT:GetYouTubeEmbedCode($youtubeVideoId, 400, 500)" disable-output-escaping="yes"/>

so the package is still extremely useful, but it would be great if the other approach could be accomplished :)

Hi Søren,

Not sure what else is going on in your "CreateCompetitionEntry" method, does the error occur when you call "Document.MakeNew" or elsewhere?

I've taken a look over the uTube codebase to see where there might be an issue, but I don't see any problems with the code.

Hmmm... not sure what to suggest.

Cheers, Lee.

Hi Lee,

Yes, only thing going on in the method is 

Document uTubeDocument = Document.MakeNew("New uTube document", DocumentType.GetByAlias("uTubeVideo"), new User(0), parentId);

(the rest is outcommented for testing this issue.)

/Søren

Hi Søren,

This is still puzzling me.  To my knowledge, Document.MakeNew doesn't do anything with the properties/data-type ... it just creates a the document stub (with empty/null properties).

What happens when you call "DocumentType.GetByAlias" on it's own?

Cheers, Lee.

Hi Lee,

Yeah, it puzzles me to, but it works when I change the datatype to a textstring from the single picker, so it seems to be connected to that somehow - you are not able to reproduce ?

/Søren

Hi Søren,

Sorry for taking a while to get back to you - I've only just had chance to try to reproducing this problem.

In my test it works fine for me; creates the new document with no errors/exceptions.  My doc-type only contained a few textstring properties and one "uTube Single Video Picker" property. Which worked fine.

Not sure what to suggest next.

Seems my post dissappeared... Anyways here it is somewhat reconstructed :)

Thanks for taking the time to respond. Could it somehow be an issue that I'm using MySql ?

/Søren

Hi Søren,

Ah, I haven't tested against using MySQL ... must take a look at that sometime - still curious what the problem could be? I'm not doing anything 'out of the ordinary' with the uTube data-type (uses standard Umbraco API).

Cheers, Lee.

is working on a reply...
