The Storage of Content / Uploads Within the CMS

Prior to publishing out an asset to either a live site or a stage site, assets store information within a database or on CrownPeak's local web server. Essentially, an asset only holds Key / Value pairs within the database and any documents or images that were uploaded from an input form gets stored on the CrownPeak's local web server (i.e. A0 - A8). Usually the keys are user defined within the input template and can be viewed by selecting an asset and going to View -> Properties -> Content.

Viewing the content, there are several things that probably should be pointed out.

Upload#user_defined_name:1 is probably a key in the database. The word Upload in the key specifies that the value for this key is probably a location to CrownPeaks local web server (i.e. the path to where the upload is stored.) When an upload is published out it gets copied from the local web server to the clients server.

Parsing XML in .NET

Let's say you have XML as <root>    <item>       <name1>value1</name1>       <name2>value2</name2>       <name3>value3</name3>    </item>    <item>       <name1>value1</name1>       <name2>value2</name2>    </item> </root> To parse it we use the .NET XmlDocument class: // Create the XmlDocument object XmlDocument xmlDoc = new XmlDocument(); // Load the Xml into the object xmlDoc.Load(objResponse.GetResponseStream()); // Get the element like it was a path XmlNode errorNode = xmlDoc.SelectSingleNode("root/item/name1"); if (errorNode != null) { litResult.Text = errorNode.InnerText; return; }

Passing values from Javascript to Asp.Net

The trick to passing data from Javascript and Asp.Net is to use hidden inputs in the html. The hidden inputs should have the runat="server" attribute. For example: <input type="hidden" runat="server" id="hiddenfield" value="" /> Then in the Javascript, whatever value you are trying to pull from Asp.Net, set the hidden field using: document.getElementById("hiddenfield").value = "whatever value you want to set" And in the Asp.net form, you can just access the hiddenfield by using its id. string x = hiddenfield.value.text Thats all there is to it. You might need to check the syntax of it first as this is just all from my head.

Duplicate Items in the File -> New menu.

It looks like a bug, but the CMS is trying to figure out what kind of models would apply to the folder in question. To resolve this issue. 1. Goto the problematic folder. 2. Goto View -> Properties -> Access 3. Click on the New Tab 3. Uncheck All 'New Dependency' That's it. That should resolve the problem.
