I have asked the following question at the Our Umbraco community site also, but I've had no luck there so far.
I've got a task where I need to manually add database records for a media image file, which is to appear in an Umbraco site for our client.
My SQL consists of:
Adding a record in umbracoNode for the image.
Adding a record in cmsContent
Adding a record in cmsContentXml
Adding records to cmsPropertyData for the image's umbracoFile, umbracoWidth, umbracoHeight, umbracoBytes, umbracoExtension
After executing the above, and logging into Umbraco, I can see the image in the Media area and all looks fine.
The problem is the call the #Model.MediaById() (in a Razor file) when I want to display that image - basically no image is displayed since the img 'src' attribute is not set.
I've stepped through the Umbraco code and found the problem. Basically when the code uses Lucene to search for the media (ExaminedBackendMedia.GetUmbracoMedia()), it does find the image file, however there are a number of fields missing for the SearchResult. For example, none of the "umbraco*" properties adde to cmsPropertyData appear in the fields collection. When I step through the code for another image (one that was added manually) I can see an extra 5 or so properties in the fields collection - including all the "umbraco*" properties.
So I can see that I have missing data here. Basically the SearchResult object is missing some fields. Can someone suggest what I may have missed please? Why is Lucene not picking up the "umbraco*" properties that I've added via SQL scripts?
You need to make sure that you republish the nodes, which will take them from the database entries that you created and put them into the XML cache that umbraco actually uses when serving up data.

I need to set several meta tag values in my page head to values set in blog post custom fields.
How do I access the blog item viewmodel from the head?
I've created a separate MVC view snippet for my custom head and referenced it in my template's layout, that much works.
Tried
I grab some of the same custom field values inside my blog template via references like Model.Item.Fields.MyFieldName.Fields.Title.
Adding this same line to the head template throws a
System.Web.HttpCompileException with little useful information attached. I somewhat expected this, as I suspect that viewmodel for the blog post only exists in the context of the blog widget.
Ends up that I need to rebuild after every change to the head cshtml file or I get this error. Seeing as this is about a four-minute process with Sitefinity (15 seconds to build, 3:45 to do whatever Sitefinity does for about four minutes), this is a gruelingly horrid thing to have to do.
However the Model is null at this level.
Also tried
Per the ever-helpful and highly knowledgeable #Veselin Vasilev, I looked into passing the data up via MetaDataFields. I didn't see these options in my admin section for the widget. To clarify, I'm using the built-in "Blog posts" widget with a customized view file.
But if it's possible to do this, it gives me hope that there's a way to pass more data up, even if it's going to take some work.
EDIT: Sitefinity v.10.2 and above:
There is an easier way to achieve what you are trying - in Page edit mode, in the Blog Posts widget click Edit and then Advanced. Then you should see a MetaDataFields button. Click it and you should see several meta data related fields.
In the MetaTitle field put the name of your custom field and save.
Also, from the docs:
If you leave MetaTitle field empty, Sitefinity CMS adds takes its value from the Title field of the static content item or from the identifier field of a dynamic content item. Otherwise, the tag is populated with the contents of the field that you have entered in MetaTitle field.

Basically, in your view you get a reference to the Page object and then update its Header with the meta data you need.
I am creating a custom module with additional part numbers on a separate tab in the products screen. I have built the module, but am having trouble figuring out how to display the information so it matches the layout in the attached image. I have tried tree view but have not been able to get the fields on the same line. Can this only be accomplished through css or is there a table view that I am not aware of?
I also need to make sure that all of the information in row 1 stays tethered together for additional forms, etc. My plan is to make the field names for each row end with a different number (i.e. x_mfrname1,x_mfrpn1,x_mfrname2,x_mfrpn2, etc.). Can somebody please just tell me if I am on the right track. This is the initial Odoo setup for a client of mine and I don't want them to come back to me down the line and find out I forgot something. I have been scouring the internet and reading a few books but I am not completely confident.
Here is a link to a layout of what I am talking about:
MFG Part Number Tab
Thanks!
class sub_part_details(models.Model)
_name='sub.part.detail'
primary_pn=fields.Boolean('Primary P/N')
obsolete=fields.Boolean('Obsolete')
pn=fields.Char('P/N')
desc=fields.Char('Description')
upgrade=fields.Char('Upgrade')
part_detail_id=fields.Many2one('part.details')
class part_details(models.Model)
_name='part.details'
cat=fields.Char('CAT')
sub_ass=fields.Char('Subassembly')
main_ass=fields.Char('Main Assembly')
notes=fields.Text('Notes')
sub_details_ids=fields.One2Many(''sub.part.detail','part_detail_id')

I created a hippo documenttype using a one column layout. For rendering purposes I would like to reorganize the given items into a two-columns layout.
However, no option is available to do this change, at least not by using the latest hippo cms community version.
I have already searched in google and found following information, saying that it may be possible to change the layout by using the console, but no information about how:
http://hippo.2275632.n2.nabble.com/How-to-delete-or-rename-document-types-td7579269.html
I would appreciate any hints about it.
AFAIK there is no documentation on how to do this: this is not very complicated but this is a tedious process. If you still can - for instance your document type is not used yet - I would advise to simply drop it and recreate the content type. That being said, here is how it works:
look into your project namespace in the console: the path is something like this: /hippo:namespaces/YOURPROJECT/document-type/editor:templates/_default_/root
the root nodes defines the layout. Check out the plugin.class: for a one column this will be org.hippoecm.frontend.service.render.ListViewPlugin and for a 2 column layout the plugin.class will be org.hippoecm.frontend.editor.layout.TwoColumn
for every field in your document type (that's the tedious part) you will need to define if the field placed on the right or the left.
this is configured on the node with the name of the field path, as a property wicket.id that for instance have the value ${cluster.id}.left.item. This means the item will be placed on the left side.
Your best bet is to create a 2 column example document type and look carefully at its configuration and replicate the changes in your existing field.
Have you tried the instructions on the link below ?

I have a content type that was created by another developer long ago. After deployment, the content type does not show up in the list creation screen. Even when filtering lists and custom types. It's just not there anywhere. The feature is successfully deployed and if I do a template of the list from another farm, and then create the list from that template everything works as expected.
Thanks for anyone that knows what I might be missing here.
The answer was that it needs to have a list definition added to the project.
Sharepoint is quite limited when it comes to multi-Lookups because it saves that information in strings. So I changed the Page-Property
"Elements (MultiLookup-> elementIds" on the propertyPage
to an inserted List "PageElements":
"
(SingleLookup)pageId , (singleLookup) elementId"
Because this is quite hard to maintain for my content admins I want that they can enter that information in the page properties like before instead of adding lines into "PageElements"
Therefore I want to add a control that handles that.
I do not need a solution for the task how to achieve that specific function, but a general hint how to add any custom control into a Page property.
I starting point link would be very nice. I just doen't seem to find the right words to feed google with my topic.
Solved this by using a custom field type with that logic. Basicly Described here: http://avinashkt.blogspot.de/2011/07/creating-custom-field-in-sharepoint.html
