I've worked on an Umbraco site in the past and had a content area at the root that was used for support information such as email content.
I cannot remember what the document type is? Does anyone have any ideas about this. I've tried created a new node at the base, but this has a url, and replaces my main home url.

Click on the root node and then go to the properties section. The document type should be listed there.

In my Umbraco cloud instance I can't see option to include contents within any child folder while using option "Queue for transfer". I can do this with home folder(top folder). See below screenshot.
Not sure if this is a temporary bug in cloud instance or there is any option I am missing. Can any one suggest if there is any option to transfer, content in chunk for child folders?
So, further chasing the issue with Umbraco cloud support, I found that it is a know issue with Umbraco cloud and for document type configured to show as list view. The work around for this issue is to disable the list view for document type.
In Kentico 8.2 the sub-page in the URL is misspelled. The Name Path is spelled correctly.
I see that under Pages > Properties > URLs there is a place to change the alias name. Will correcting the spelling here affect anything drastic change in the website (say, in the code)? I'd be inclined to say No, but I wanted another opinion.
Technically speaking of you make the modification/update Kentico will keep an alias of the misspelling so if anyone has reference to it, they can go to that bad URL and be redirected.
If there is custom code looking for that misspelled URL then it will have to be corrected but as you stayed probably not.
If webparts or widgets refer to that misspelled URL in the path property, they will have to be corrected. You will notice this right away on pages of they are referencing that misspelled URL because your content won't show up.
If you change the page-alias it will add the old alias to the list of page aliases (ie. old links to the page should still work).
Are you specifically using that page-alias in code anywhere to identify the page?
similar to:
var aliasPath = tree.SelectNodes()
.WhereLike("DocumentName", "Tutorials").FirstObject.NodeAliasPath;
but referring to the alias field instead.
Would the page be linked in any wysiwyg editors? I'm not sure if behind the scenes kentico would use page-alias in this instance or the document guid. Although if you retained the old misspelled alias then existing links should work.
I'm having some trouble with this problem, users can add photos to my website, I created a custom node template to display all the photos.
But now I want that each time a new photo is added, the path /news/photos/ get's updated to that node.
I'm now using a module called 'Rules' which seems to work ok, but it can't handle some of the problems I'm having.
The site is multi lingual
When a photo is deleted, the path alias is deleted and so is my menu link
Does anybody can think of a solution that would suit my problem?
I am looking to do the same thing. Here is one solution, but not as easy as you might like:
http://eureka.ykyuen.info/2012/05/23/drupal-7-create-a-url-which-display-the-latest-node-of-a-specific-content-type/
I like to have a main page Web part with a link to each one of the shared documents in our portal.
The problem is that they are from different libraries and also I want the SharePoint to keep track of check in and check outs of the files. When I use, Content Editor to add the links, and then click on the list, it download a copy of file and saved changes do not change the original document.
I thought about creating a modified view in that specific library and filter out just one file. Then put that file in the front page. But, the first problem is that the file is 2 or 3 level deep in hierarchy. Also, even if I manage to do that, what should I do about different files in different libraries?

How do I get an existing Document Type to show up in the Create dialogue of Umbraco 4.
I installed the BlogForUmbraco4_1.0.0 package, which I realize tries to install as the primary site, but it also installs all of the necessary Document Types, including Blog, and BlogPost. Why are they not an option when creating a new item within my site.
Umbraco uses a permission based Document Type Hierarchy, to ensure that editors doesn't create weird page types in wrong places (like a 'Homepage' beneath a blog or a 'News Item' inside a Gallery).
So you'll need to allow the Document Type that you wish to appear in your create dialog to the Document Type of the page you're using as the parent (this might sound like non sense ;-)).
So, say that you've imported the Blog4Umbraco package and wants to allow a blog below a Home page, you should find out which Document Type that home page is (look at the properties tab on the document and look at the 'Document Type').
Go to settings section and open Document types and click on that doc type (let's just say it's called 'Homepage')
Click on the 'Structure' tab and you'll see a list of all Document Types in your install. Some of them are already checked and those are the ones that are allowed beneath that type. To allow blogs, simply check the 'Blog' document type as well :-)
