I'd like to create a new Sitecore item using a name that contains German characters. At the moment every time the name contains "ä" "ö" or "ü" Sitecore complains about the name and prevents me from creating it.
I can see the same problem using the EXM module (E-mail Experience Manager). I cannot create any newsletters that contain special characters.
Is there any way I could change it?
The problem is caused by the regular expression which is used for the "Name" field validation.
You can resolve the issue by replacing the ItemNameValidation setting value with the following value:
^[\w\*\$]*[a-zA-ZäöüßÄÖÜẞ\][\w\s\-\$]*(\(\d{1,}\)){0,1}$ or add a new patch config file to your project which is recomended.
<setting name="ItemNameValidation" set:value="^[\w\*\$]*[a-zA-ZäöüßÄÖÜẞ\][\w\s\-\$]*(\(\d{1,}\)){0,1}$" />

I'm working on Sitecore 8 and want to add a new language but Im having a message:
The spell checker dictionary does not exist.
Could you please help me?
All the dictionary files are stored in sitecore\shell\Controls\Rich Text Editor\Dictionaries\ directory.
There is no en-AU dictionary there by default (there are en-UK and en-US dictionaries). You can use one of them I guess. Or you can try google en-AU and use something from the Internet "en-AU.tdf" google search.
I had the same issue. I was able to resolve it by editing the "InvalidItemNameChars" setting temporarily.
Our project had a patch for InvalidItemNameChars like this:
This setting is usually in web.config. If you don't find it there, check "/sitecore/admin/showconfig.aspx" for InvalidItemNameChars.
I had to remove the '-' from the value and create the language. You will not get the error on not selecting the spell checker. You can leave it empty.
Once you are done creating the language add the '-' back to the config (in my case it was a patch config).
I'm working with Sitecore 7.0 rev 131127 and when I tried to go to the Content Editor I'm getting the following error:
But when I try to go to other modules such as Marketing Center, it is working.
I tried the following changing following value to false on Sitecore.Social.config but it didn't work for me.
<!-- Is Profile updating at user login functionality enabled. -->
<setting name="Social.ProfileUpdating.EnableProfileUpdating" value="true" />
Can anyone advise on this ?
This is a configuration issue if I'm not mistaken namely your Lucene Index Configrations files within the App_Config/Includes folder. Most likely the Sitecore.ContentSearch.Lucene.DefaultIndexConfiguration.config file or a custom one created in your solution.
Usually you see these sorts of errors when a TypeConverter is missing from the config, as you can see its referencing the Typeconverter in the StackTrace. E.g. For the index to correctly convert DateTime this line is added to the DefaultIndexConfiguration.config file. Confirm the following line is in your *.DefaultIndexConfiguration.config file(s)
<converter handlesType="System.DateTime" typeConverter="Sitecore.ContentSearch.LuceneProvider.Converters.IndexFieldDateTimeValueConverter, Sitecore.ContentSearch.LuceneProvider" />
It's also worth identifying which Field is causing the error. Perhaps a new field has been added recently to a template or the raw value in a DateTime field is not in the correct format for a DateTime Sitecore stores its dates in ISO 8601 formatted i.e. yyyyMMddThhmmss
I just upgraded a client's test installation of Sitecore to 7.2 (SP1) and now, any image that has an underscore in its name is throwing a 404 error when being referenced by a page. This was actually a series of upgrades from 6.4 so it's quite possible that a config setting somewhere got missed along the way, but I don't see anything standing out at me that would cause this problem.
If I change the image name to not have an underscore, it works fine, and it also works fine if I set "Media.UseItemPaths" to false, but they would prefer it if their image URL's had the file name displayed.
Can anyone help identify what may have gone wrong?
Due to a change in Sitecore 7.1, any replacements specified in encodeNameReplacements are now also applied to media items as well as regular items in the content tree.
One option is to remove the replaceWith="_" declaration, but the likely reason this was added was to possibly replace spaces in your URLs so they do not display with %20. Removing this declaration will mean they return!
You can instead apply the fix specified in this Sitecore Knowledgebase article: Sitecore is unable to open media items when using encodeNameReplacements
One of the fields in my database table is named DATEOFDISCHARGEFROMITU. In any report output, this displays as DATEOFDISCHARGEFRU. I've figured out that the missing characters form the word 'OMIT', which makes me think it's related to this old problem in a previous version of ApEx (I'm using version 4.1.)
Is there a way to display the whole field name in the report header when the field name contains the string 'OMIT'?
Note: Using html character codes will allow the field name to display properly, but then when the report is exported to CSV the character codes are of course shown instead of the full field name. I need a solution that works for exports as well as displaying onscreen.
Platforms (tested): Oracle Application Express (APEX), Version 4.0.2
Note: I am not sure how the linked OTN post is relevant to your problem aside from the coincidence that their file export contains the word "OMIT" and your column title contains the word "OMIT".
It's safe to say that "OMIT" isn't an APEX or ORACLE reserved word that is sabotaging your output. However, if you were talking about a scrap of SQL that attempted to create a table named "SELECT" or "WHERE"
i.e., SELECT * FROM "SELECT" WHERE...
you'll be blocked by the RDBMS from proceeding. :)
I tried an export with a query that contained a column header labeled "OMIT" (see the far right in the example.) The .csv file interpreted by Microsoft Excel looked like this:
I wrote up a separate Q&A post about creating dynamic APEX report headers to answer your follow-on question about a suitable solution for providing a clean, htmlcode-free output when a report is eventually exported to a text, comma separated (or other delimited) output.
In summary, the linked post suggests to set up a dynamic PL/SQL Function within a page item. The page item can be referenced directly in the report column header definition. This is a screenshot demonstrating a possible solution:
The link to the general explanation has more details on the APEX design tasks that gets to this final product.
Onward.
I solved this by using this solution for exporting to csv without an enclosing quote character - as that was another challenge I was faced with for the particular application I was developing. By manually creating the export file I was also able to define the column headings exactly, and the "OMIT" issue did not occur.
Technically that's not a solution for displaying a report with the required headings that can also be exported (Richard's response does that) but it does what I need it to and solves the immediate problem of the DATEOFDISCHARGEFROMITU column heading.
I am just starting to add support for multiple languages on my site... having a spot of trouble. Here are the steps I've taken so far:
In Control Panel -> Globalization, added a new language (German)
Added a new <site> definition in Web.config with hostName="localGerman.com" and language="de". Also added an alias in my hosts file for localgerman.com to point to localhost and added the host header in IIS.
Went to an item in my tree and added a new version for German. Published whole site.
Now, the host/site setup seems to work OK. When to go to http://localgerman.com/ I get my home page, with lots of missing data... there is no German version... so seems to be using the correct language.
However... when I go to the item I've added a German version of, I still get blank data. In the debugger, I can see that Sitecore.Context.Item is the German version... but all the fields are blank. Item["Content"] returns an empty string. If I manually set the language to "en" on the URL (http://localgerman.com/myitem.aspx?sc_lang=en), then I get the English version with data.
What am I missing here?
Also... when loading the German home page... my menu is blank. Presumably because the items which generate this content do not have German versions. I was under the assumption that when a language-specific version for a given item could not be loaded, then the default language version is used? But this does not seem to be the case. Am I wrong?
OK, looks like I just had the language code wrong. Setting the site language to "de-DE" instead of just "de" worked.
This is a little confusing because the default sites use language="en" instead of en-US.
You added a German version of an item, but did you fill in the fields in German ? Any localizable fields (non-shared) will be empty by default when a new version is created. It sounds like you did the other parts correctly.
The menu being blank is expected: When you try to get an language version of an item that doesn't exist, Sitecore will return null.
