There is a good explanation of icacls on http://ss64.com/nt/icacls.html

]]> Comment on Automating Umbraco v5 Package Creation Using MSBuild by Justin Spradlin http://blog.mattbrailsford.com/2011/09/30/automating-umbraco-v5-package-creation-using-msbuild/#comment-368 Thu, 26 Jan 2012 17:08:20 +0000 http://blog.mattbrailsford.com/?p=631#comment-368 Thank you for the great article. I was wondering how to automate this so I could easily integrate the readme.txt into the package manifest.

I will try this out with my next package!

I gets around not having to build to copy css files etc, but I don’t think it’s as flexible when working in teams (Before I joined HQ, I was a sole developer, so that wasn’t a problem for me).

I’ll see if I can get around to writing an update blog post, with a comparison of the 2 techniques. I do still think this is a valid setup though.

Sometime on, how are you doing things now? I like the idea of having stuff in a Web Application Project (primarily so that I can use MSDeploy), but also don’t like the requirement to have to build & copy even minor XSLT/Razor changes.

This is SO awesome. Think you should update the post with the new place of the dmu.ashx file, since it’s now a core feature. Took me a few minutes to figure out that it’s no longer the one mentiond but in fact http://www.yourdomain.com/umbraco/plugins/TheOutfield/DesktopMediaUploader/dmu.ashx :-)

Let me know how you get on, i’d be interested to now if you can.

Nice blogpost – I’m just getting started with LESS and I’ve read this post to get me started.

However it seems to me that dotless provides one the option to decide if the stylesheet should be cached and minified or not?

Right now I’m not sure I get why I should use clientdependency since it seems to me that caching and minifying comes out of the box?

Am I missing something obvious? :-)

]]> Comment on Why Permissions in Umbraco v5 Rock! by A Melvin http://blog.mattbrailsford.com/2011/10/30/why-permissions-in-umbraco-v5-rock/#comment-312 Mon, 31 Oct 2011 15:57:21 +0000 http://blog.mattbrailsford.com/?p=646#comment-312 Better granularity will be useful, certainly.

Not connected to content permission, but one permission area that I think would be useful would be an ability to allow a front-end developer the ability to build templates/masterpages – but not to inject code (razor, xsl, inline whatever). So that a front end dev could markup page structure for templates safely.

Possibly achieved by an option like ‘Create template from uploaded html file’ – allowing a front-end dev to create an html page that when uploaded is automatically converted into a base master page (template) in Umbraco with an associated empty document type.

This solved a problem on a site I’ve built that depends on subdomains for language versioning.

Per default, the output of any macros were cached independently of the subdomain, so cached results were returned in the wrong language. However, creating a “domain” parameter and calling the macros like this solved the problem:
