Issues when deploying to test server

[smanaton]

Hi, I've installed the plugin via nuget, works perfectly locally, when i deploy its unable to retrieve the opening hours object from the document type, any ideas on what could be wrong?

As far as i can see the plugin is installed correctly,

@smanaton Do you get any errors? Eg. in the developer console?

Also, can you confirm that all files from the package are deployed?

[smanaton]

No errors, all the files seem to be there, the backend is working, i can set new opening times, my development machine connected to the same database displays everything correctly, but the deployed codebase doesnt.

I think the issue is how i get the content, the openingHours property is stored on the contact page, to get the contact page i was using var contactPage = Umbraco.TypedContentSingleAtXPath("//homepage//contactPage"); , if i use var contactPage = Umbraco.ContentQuery.TypedContent(2202); instead then it work as expected. the first example works locally but not on the server.

I can probably find a better way to locate the contact page, strange how it doesnt work in both environments.

i have worked around it by using both: var contactPageNode = Umbraco.TypedContentSingleAtXPath("//homepage//contactPage"); var contactPage = Umbraco.ContentQuery.TypedContent(contactPageNode.Id);

umbraco seems to be returning the content differently from each call so i've used both.

Based on your answers, this seems more like an Umbraco issues in general, so I'm closing the issue.

Given your the code you have posted, I can't think of any reason why it shouldn't work in both environments. Are you sure both environments have a published contact page?

Agreed, seems like an umbraco issue, they were both connected to the same database with the same result
