Problem with export of content items

Vote:
 

Hi,

I'm using EPiServer 7.5.394.2

On some page types, I have the following property:

[CultureSpecific]
[BackingType(typeof(PropertyUrl))]
[Display(Name = "Website", Order = 210)]
public virtual Url WebsiteUrl { get; set; }

    

In edit mode, if I leave WebsiteUrl empty, export works fine. If I select an external link, then I get the following exception during export:

The following warnings have been generated:
[Exporting content 457] Failed to export property WebsiteUrl, exception: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.


Any suggestions?

Hi

I have reported a bug for this. The issue is that at during export it compares the url with SiteDefinition.Current.SiteUrl. And since the export package is created in a background thread it has no httpContext to resolve SiteDefintion from. It will then try to fallback to the SiteDefintion with wildcard host '*' but if no such host mapping exist it will get back a SiteDefintion where SiteUrl is null which cause the exception.

So a workaround for you is to add host '*' to any of your sites (in admin mode under "Manage WebSites".

Hi Johan,

Unfortunately, I can't use this workaround because the client has purchased the license for only one website. I'm getting the following message under 'Manage Websites':

The number of licensed sites 1 has been reached, no more sites can be added without upgrading the license.

You do not have to create any new site. Just click Add under host section on your existing site, and fill in '*'.

Ah, of course. Thanks.

That did the trick but now I'm getting another error message:

[Exporting content 269] Property "FacebookPage" has a value that is not a well formed URI: "http://www.facebook.com/pages/Ernö/190076057674790?fref=ts"

That should be just a warning message, the package should be ok anyway.
