Browse Existing Content Not Working #18

Closed ScottReed closed 5 years ago

ScottReed commented 5 years ago

The new browse existing content is not working for me. I have a site running

When I try to load dialog I just get a loading screen and the request I can see in Devtools get's a 404

It does seem to be working when I'm in the Commerce View but not in CMS

@ScottReed would it be possible for you to give it a shot on a clean Alloy site created from VS? if that will work then maybe we can try to identify the differences between two solutions. That would help a lot to nail down the problem, thanks.

We appreciate your help @ScottReed. Episerver provides limited support to Labs, mainly on it's functionality with CMS UI, and this seems to be a bug related to using it with another add-on. That said, due to the open source nature of Labs we hope you or someone is willing to contribute a fix.

Problem was with web.config configuration for max querystring length. Out of the box with none set I am getting errors but adding

`

`

In to the web.config area under <location path="EPiServer" fixed the issue

@ScottReed could you please check the url that was failing? you would see it just after clicking Browse existing content, something like this: http://yourhost/EPiServer/cms/Stores/contentstructure/?referenceId=1&query=getchildren&typeIdentifiers=episerver.core.icontentdata&sort()&dojo.preventCache=1568036401714

The URL was causing the issue when I take that fix out again when clicking the "Browse Exisitng Content" was as you expected above. Here's the full URL

@ScottReed could you please share the AllowedTypes configuration on that ContentArea property? I assume there's some base class there right? CMS UI has quite complex logic behind calculating the explicit types of content that can be added to a ContentArea based on provided interfaces/base classes which in some environments (with a lot of content types) may result in urls that long. In that case I'm afraid I won't be able to do anything from here. maxQueryString would be the correct solution.

barteksekula commented 5 years ago

This is a bug in CMS, will be reported there. Will post back the version it was fixed in here.

ssanch commented 2 years ago

Hey @barteksekula do you happen to have more info about this? I am currently experiencing this issue and I'd like to see what the bug is and what I can do about it.

The maxQueryString works in the sense that items load but things take up to 1 minute and a half which is a lot of time. I'd like to improve those times.
