Description:
Hi Lee,

We wanted to use your great library in a project we just started.
We installed the newest version 2.0.2, and experienced some problems when we set enablePageTypeUpdating to true and enableCustomPropertyGroupRendering to true.
We got a NullReferenceException when we started the site:

[NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.]
PageTypeBuilder.Abstractions.WrappedPageType.get_ID() +3
PageTypeBuilderUI.Initializer.Initialize(InitializationEngine context) +492
...

We are using EPiServer 6 R2 and PageTypeBuilder 2.0.
I downloaded the source code and tweeked it to work with our setup.
The first thing I found was that the latest version of PageTypeBuilderUI used PageTypeBuilder version 1.9.2. In 2.0.1 of PageTypeBuilderUI I saw that it was 2.0.
I replaced this with the newest 2.0 version.

When I tried to build it I got a problem with EPiServer assemblies references, because i had a newer version of EPiServer installed.

I edited the project file to reference the newest versions of EPiServer assemblies in HintPath.
I also had to change the HintPath of System.ComponentModel.Composition as I didn't have the 6.0.318.113 version installed.

To fix the NullReferenceException I had to change line 35 in Initializer.cs:
From:
IPageType pageType = new WrappedPageType(PageType.Load(pageTypeDefinition.Attribute.Name));
To:
IPageType pageType = new WrappedPageType(PageType.Load(pageTypeDefinition.Type.Name));

This got it working, but I also had another issue with the way the seperators - and : where used in custom rendering of property groups within edit mode.
We use hyphen often in labels in Norway, and this caused a bug in what got shown in the labels. Email is for instance e-post in Norway and this got rendered as just post.
So I changed the method GetEditCaption in Initializer.cs and GetLabelText in PropertyGroupPropertyControl.cs.

Created Issue: Bug with updating EditCaptions and SortOrder, and missing HelpText [961]

nordseth — Wed, 04 Jul 2012 11:07:49 GMT

I've done a few changes to PageTypeBuilderUI

The first is a fix to how EditCaption and SortOrder is updated on the elements.
- caption wasn't updated, only set the first time
- sortorder was assigned in a way that created collitions with the properties in the group

The second is the ability to add helptext on the PropertyGroups
- i've added a attribute instead of extending PageTypeGroupAttribute
- the helptext property on the pagetypedefinition is updated, didn't need to do any changes to show the text in edit mode

The code is based on PageTypeBuilderUi 2.0.1

Released: Page Type Builder UI v2.0.2 (Jun 25, 2012)

Mon, 25 Jun 2012 14:30:26 GMT

For use with PageTypeBuilder v2.0.

Installation notes

The property match page can be locked down by adding the following location element, the path of this will be different depending on whether you use the embedded or non embedded resource version. When installing the nuget package these will be added automatically, examples below:

Embedded:

<location path="util/PageTypeBuilderUI">
<system.web>
<authorization>
<allow roles="WebAdmins,Administrators" />
<deny users="*" />
</authorization>
</system.web>
</location>

Non Embedded:

<location path="Templates/Plugins/Admin/PageTypeBuilderUI">
<system.web>
<authorization>
<allow roles="WebAdmins,Administrators" />
<deny users="*" />
</authorization>
</system.web>
</location>

Release Notes

New features for v2.0:

- Contains enhancements to show PTB properties or page types that don't exist in the EPiServer database.
- Contains a new feature to allow property groups to be rendered in a friendlier manner.

Commented Feature: Property in TypedPageData but not in database [879]

Croweman — Tue, 20 Mar 2012 12:46:36 GMT

Th UI doesn't report the following case

1) A property is defined in the TypedPageData class but doesn't appear in the database.

If the PTB synchronisation process is removed using the disableUpdation configuration key - then there is the possibility of the above use case occuring.

Perhaps the plugin could now use the PTB v2.0 specifications to display what work needs to be done?
Comments: ** Comment from web user: Croweman **

The latest version of PTBUI does provide this functionality for PageTypeBuilder v2.0.

Commented Issue: Source code .zips on download page are empty [881]

Croweman — Mon, 19 Mar 2012 16:47:49 GMT

Hi, Lee.

I've just downloaded source code for PTB UI 1.3 version and found out that .zip archive is empty.
The same issue with archives for 1.3.1, 1.9.1 and 1.9.2 versions.

Could you please update these links to correct .zip files?
