Known issues in Content Manager Explorer
The following list describes issues that are known to exist in Content Manager Explorer.
- Uploading multimedia files of a type not listed in the default Multimedia types
-
If you attempt to upload a binary file of a type that is not listed among the default Multimedia Types, even if the file extension was added, the upload will fail. You can, however, create a Multimedia Component and use the file in the creation dialog.
- Save and New gives JavaScript error in Internet Explorer 7 and Internet Explorer 9
-
If you click Save and New in a dialog while using Internet Explorer 7 or 9, the Content Manager Explorer may report the following error:
Object doesn't support property or method 'setDefaultSubType',Call was rejected by callee. - Percentage of Components or Pages with comments or ratings is always 0
-
For User-Generated Content, the percentage of Components or Pages for which comments or ratings were submitted always remains at 0%, no matter how many items have actually received comments or ratings.
- Uploading large files
-
IIS default settings allow users to upload only relatively small files to a Web site (200 KB on an IIS 6 Web site, 30 MB on an IIS 7 or IIS 7.5 Web site). Using the Content Manager often requires the ability to upload larger files. You can enable large uploads as follows:
- IIS 7
-
The Content Manager Web site allows the default amount of data for IIS 7 or IIS 7.5 to be uploaded, that is, 30 MB. You can change this value in two ways:
Open the file %windir%\system32\inetsrv\config\ApplicationHost.config in a plain-text editor (you need to be logged in as an administrator, or run the editor as an administrator, to edit this file).
Find the
<requestLimits>element, which has amaxAllowedContentLengthattribute. Either remove this attribute altogether or set it to your expected maximum value (in bytes), and save and close the file.Alternatively, to change this setting for the Content Manager Web site only, and not for any other Web sites, create or edit a plain-text file web.config in the Web\ subdirectory of the Content Manager root directory, which defaults to c:\Program Files\Tridion\, and ensure that it contains the following:
<configuration> <system.webServer> <security> <requestFiltering> <requestLimits maxAllowedContentLength="40000000" /> </requestFiltering> </security> </system.webServer> </configuration>In this sample, the maximum allowed content length is set to 40,000,000 bytes (roughly 40MB).
- IIS 6
-
If you created the Content Manager Web site using the Content Manager installer, the installer configured the Web site to accept uploads up to 200 MB.
If you want to modify this value, or if you created the Web site by hand and want to modify the default value of 200 KB, you can configure the setting
AspMaxRequestEntityAllowedin the IIS 6 metabase to a value (in bytes) of your choice.
