Hello,

This should be handled the right way if this is to be truly "internationalized" application.
There must be a setting for the default language (english as standard) and if there is no page content (or whatever type of content) for users culture then the default language is used. That would fix this kind of problems per default so people can set up the application and start adding content in their own language as needed.

Just a thought,
Damir

Description:
There's no work item for this patch, but this is directly related to the patch below (work item 3569), which intended to fix the error when opening the web site home page. However, after a few tests, I noticed that the routing for used on creating, editing or adding a widget to a page, also gets the language code from the machine's regional settings causing the same error when opening the new/modified pages.

Description:
When the HomeController tries to find a page through its slug, it uses the current culture (System.Globalization.CultureInfo.CurrentCulture.TwoLetterISOLanguageName) instead of using the default language code of the application, and hence the Pages table contains only records with the English language code (en) - which is the default language code - when running the application using a different culture defined in the Regional Settings, causes a run-time error hence the repository query can't find pages for the user's culture.

Hi,

This error occurs because the GetPage method of the SimpleCMSRepository class queries the Pages table for a *URL* and a *Language Code* which is being obtained through the CultureInfo class, thus using your Regional Settings definition.

The problem is that, by default, the Pages table contains only records with the English culture (en), thus if you have a different configuration in your Regional Settings, the query returns zero records which causes this error in the View.

With that said, a quick fix would be to find out what is your current culture letters (System.Globalization.CultureInfo.CurrentCulture.TwoLetterISOLanguageName), and duplicate the records of the Pages table by changing the LanguageCode field to the appropriate two letters of your current culture. Of course, another solution would be to just update the table and change the LanguageCode field.

Anyway, this error should be handled in a better way, as it is impossible to figure out what is happening without debugging the code.

Cheers,
Caio Proiete

Commented Issue: Restoring database

silverwebs — Wed, 15 Apr 2009 21:32:04 GMT

I just downloaded the latest preview to start having a look into, but I noticed the database file inside the folder is a .bak file. I tried to create an empty database and restoring from a file, but I got an error that database source is different from the backuped one. How should I restore the database?

Thanks
Andrea

I keep getting the error - "CommerceDB.bak is incorrectly formed. SQL Server cannot process this media family. RESTORE FILELIST is terminating abnormally." when trying to restore to both Sql 2000 & 2005. Any ideas?

Created Issue: Is the "Site Config" page (http://localhost:41854/Site) fake?

edgreenberg — Fri, 03 Apr 2009 21:40:24 GMT

i think it is...

Has anyone started actually developing the reporting/admin side? If not, I may just take a shot at it - using http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=130f7986-bf49-4fe5-9ca8-910ae6ea442c&DisplayLang=en it should be beautiful and fairly easy to do. Comments/suggestions?

Created Issue: Problems loading solution (Kona.Web project actually)

edgreenberg — Fri, 03 Apr 2009 21:35:35 GMT

I kept getting the following error when I opened the Solution or the Kona.Web project:

The project file 'C:\...\Kona.Web\Kona.Web.csproj' cannot be opened.

The project type is not supported by this installation.

I looked everywhere, and tried everything suggested, but could not find a solution - finally, I just started messing around with the file on my own (using some of what I read and some of my intution), and finally found the solution.

In the file I changed:

<ProjectTypeGuids>{603c0e0b-db56-11dc-be95-000d561079b0};{349c5851-65df-11da-9384-00065b846f21};{fae04ec0-301f-11d3-bf4b-00c04f79efbc}</ProjectTypeGuids>

to:

<ProjectTypeGuids>{349c5851-65df-11da-9384-00065b846f21};{fae04ec0-301f-11d3-bf4b-00c04f79efbc}</ProjectTypeGuids>

AND deleted this:

<MvcBuildViews>false</MvcBuildViews>
<SccProjectName>
</SccProjectName>
<SccLocalPath>
</SccLocalPath>
<SccAuxPath>
</SccAuxPath>
<SccProvider>
</SccProvider>

note: all of this is within the <PropertyGroup> section of the file.

And, it works, site runs, and works as expected :-)

But this leaves me with a question, "have I broken anything in doing this?"

I hope this helps others before they pull their hair out or give up because, simply, this is a fantastic project! And thank you to all the contributors!

Commented Issue: Missing DLLs (release 18861)

KevDog — Sun, 29 Mar 2009 15:03:38 GMT

Just downloaded and unpacked preview 1, release 18861 and can't use it for several reasons...

The Commerce.Tests project is not a recognised type in my version of Visual Studio (2008 Standard). I just removed the project on the assumption that there should be nothing in a real application that critically relies on anything in a test project.

The Commerce.MVC.web project references 2 DLLs not found on my system, and there are no clues as to where I might get them...
System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations
System.Web.DynamicData

Happily the solution compiles even without these DLLs in place. I expect a runtime error will result very soon though!

Most critical - fatal in fact - is the fact that I have no database for this app to connect to, and there is nothing here to tell me how to set such a database up. A backup would be good, for me to load on to my present SQL Server instance, or maybe a set of DDL and SQL scripts to create the necessary tables, views, stored procedures, etc., and populate them with some initial data.

Look guys, I hate to be pedantic, but for those of you who are ragging on the state of the project, remember that we were warned that this isn't even an Alpha release. Find a problem, fix a problem.
