Closed Issue: Missing Column in New Item page [3197]

chrisobrien — Thu, 16 May 2013 07:47:09 GMT

Hey guys,

Thanks for the code. I've noticed that after I deploy the WSP and activate the COnfigStore feature, I then try to create an item in the config store and notice that the sharepoint New Item page only has one field editable. See attached image of the New Item page, the List page and the Contetn Type page.

Cheers
Daniel

Commented Issue: Issue: No config item was found for category [5274]

I am simply trying to retrieve a value from the Config store and randomly a config item can not be found .
The environment is a production server with MOSS 2007. It was working fine for a few months.
Please help or provide any insights.

Stack Trace:

I am having similar issues. The code always bombs at line 137 on ConfigStore.cs on function SPSecurity.RunWithElevatedPrivileges(delegate() . Is this a better possible solution than calling that function? http://solutionizing.net/2009/01/06/elegant-spsite-elevation/

Hi All,

We are intermittently getting this error in a workflow that reads values form the Config Store.

This only happens on some instances of the workflow. Most instances hop along fine and can read the Config Store.

I've verified that our web.config settings are set correctly.
We are running with the latest version of Config Store, which was installed by completely uninstalling the previous version and reinstall/reactivating.

Anyone see this before?

I am writing a custom timer job and thought I would use the configstore to manage configuration settings for my timer job. When the timer kicks off, it is supposed to retrieve some settings from the config store. As soon as it trys to get the first configuration value, I get the following error: "TypeInitializationException was unhandled by user code" and then "The type initializer for 'COB.SharePoint.Utilities.ConfigStore' threw an exception. The following is an excerpt from my code:

string NotifyEmail = ConfigStore.GetValue("ContractManagement","NotifyEmail");
string SiteUrl = ConfigStore.GetValue("ContractManagement","SiteUrl");
string ListName = ConfigStore.GetValue("ContractManagement","ListName");

I get the error on the first "GetValue" attempt.

Any clues?

I have similar situation as Dipetersen that I have a timer job accessing Config Store. I added the configuration settings to the central admin's web.config. However, my config store list is located in another site collection in different web application.

I passed the dependency file not existing problem. However, the configuration store could not find any records and the count in the dictionary is always 0.

From the event log, only see one excetion: Event Type: Error
Event Source: Windows SharePoint Services 3
Event Category: Timer
Event ID: 6398

The type initializer for 'COB.SharePoint.Utilities.ConfigStore' threw an exception.

Any ideas here?

Thanks,

When i try to use the solution, by getting a value from the configuration list, i get the following exeption:
{"The key 'ConfigStoreCacheDependencyFile' does not exist in the appSettings configuration section."}

I have the web.config altered to this:
<add key="ConfigSiteUrl" value="http://myserver" />
<add key="ConfigWebName" value="" />
<add key="ConfigListName" value="Config" />
<add key="ConfigStoreCacheDependencyFile" value="c:\ConfigStoreCacheDependency.txt" />
Comments: ** Comment from web user: heguangm **

make sure run iisreset; make sure you have the configuration changes in the right web.config: if you run your code in a timer job, the web.config may be the one for the central admin rather than your regular sharepoint web application.

@dipeterson,

What's happening is that the appSettings keys the Config Store expects to find are not present in the configuation file used by the SharePoint administration service. It could be you added these to a web.config file, but this config will not be loaded by a timer job. Your options are:

- add the config keys to machine.config (can be seen by all applications)
- create a xxxx.exe.config file for the timer job process (sorry, can't remember where/what file name off the top of my head - internet search will find this info though) and add the keys there

The keys you need are detailed in the readme.txt (along with a couple of other steps, e.g. NTFS permissions for the cache dependency file), but for convenience the appSettings keys are:

Obviously you'll need to edit for your values.

HTH,

Chris.

It throws the exeption here, in the ConfigStore.cs
public static readonly string CacheDependencyFilePath = (string)m_Reader.GetValue(m_CacheFilePathKey, typeof(string));

Created Issue: Changing the name of the solution, I can't install this as a site scoped solution [4709]

jonny666 — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 10:46:26 GMT

I've change the name of the solution and the namespace.
I've created a new solution with a new namespace and dragged all the files needed to the solution.
I've altered all the needed files to have the new namespace and solution name.
As I try to install this in my site, I recieve the message that the solution cannot be installed as a web scoped solution.
This means that the list, contenttypes, etc are not created in my site.
Does anyone have a guide to alter this data?

Created Issue: web.config settings duplicated when re-activating feature

ebrandes — Thu, 23 Apr 2009 01:21:13 GMT

Hey guys,

Great utility! I have one problem though: When the feature is set to modify the web.config, the appSetting entries and expressionBuilders entry are duplicated every time the feature is re-activated. This happens because the 'Name' property on the SPWebConfigModification instance isn't set correctly. Two quick changes can address this:

Change the Name property in ConfigStoreFeatureReceiver.addAppSetting() from
configMod.Name = string.Format("add[@name='{0}']", sModificationName);
to
configMod.Name = string.Format("add[@key='{0}']", sKey);

Change the Name property in ConfigStoreFeatureReceiver.addExpressionBuilder() from
configMod.Name = string.Format("add[@name='{0}']", sModificationName);
to
configMod.Name = string.Format("add[@expressionPrefix='{0}']", sPrefix);

Unfortunately web.config entries that were created with the current code will not be removed when deactivating the feature--even with these fixes.

Guys - this should be fixed now in Release 2.1.0.0. Please let me know if you encounter this again.

Sorry for the inconvenience..

Has there been any progress on this? I've installed the config store on 3 separate web apps, all worked correctly and then this happened to all of them at roughly the same time. I also cannot edit existing items; only one field is editable.

Daniel,

Have you resolved this? I am getting the exact same issue on my Server 2008 64bit server. I installed it first on my Server 2003 x86 environment and it works without issue.

UPDATE:

Looking a little closer, the inner-exception is:

{"The key 'ConfigStoreCacheDependencyFile' does not exist in the appSettings configuration section."}

Since this code is running as a JobDefinition, do you think this has something to do with the error I am receiving?

Thanks

Closed Issue: License is GPL?

chrisobrien — Wed, 03 Dec 2008 21:57:21 GMT

Chris, I love this but cannot use it because it's GPL'ed. Please switch it to LGPL (or another more permissive license) so we can rest easier using this project, without any fear we'll have to release our own code under the GPL also. Not a huge deal, just please take it into consideration. Thanks, Peter
