Mura KB: Pages continue to re-direct after removing 'Go To First Child' content object

Issue

Removing a "Go To First Child" content object from a page does not take effect right away.

Cause

Mura uses a re-direct to "route" users to the first child element of the site. When the re-direct is removed, the information remains cached in the user's browser.

Solution

Clear the cache from the browser and reload the offending page.

Environment

Version	Mura Version 5.6
OS	Any
Browser	Any

Details

Mura has a handy feature that allows a page to re-direct out to a child item. Clearing the "Go To First Child" content object however, may be problematic since the browser caches the re-direct. This means for example, that if a top-level page loads another top-level page, but the feature is ever removed via the Mura administration, the page will continue to load the second page.

Assume a scenario like this. A site has a Home section and a News section. Ignoring the reasons why a site might be implemented this way, assume that loading the Home page actually loads the News section instead. At some point the site owners decide that users will load the Home page instead. The re-direct is removed from the Home page, but users are still loading the News page.

The re-direct Mura issues is being cached by the user's browser, so a clearing of the local cache does the "trick." The assumption is that Mura employs a time-to-live to be associated with the cache, otherwise this could be quite troublesome to get each user to clear their cache.

Skype Now Supports Emergency Calls In the US

With the latest round of updates to Skype , it was noticed today that the instant messaging and VoIP phone service now supports emergency calling in the United States. The release notes for the most recent update to the Android version of Skype indicated that the service now allows calls to be made to US emergency calling systems via 911. Telephony services like Skype, Google Voice , and Vonage typically don't offer this emergency calling ability without some sort of intermediate step like deferring to the phone's default dialer, as is the case with Voice, or setting up a physical address location ahead of time which is how Vonage handles it. The indication is that Skype will handle the 911 calls natively, but when verifying with an account that does not have a Skype phone number assigned to it, it was found that the instructions in the FAQ explaining how to turn on emergency calling are not accurate. Emergency calling support in Skype for the United States Interestingly, th...

Allow Windows authentication using SQL Server driver with DBeaver

DBeaver will allow Microsoft Windows single sign on access when connecting to Microsoft SQL Server using the SQL Server driver (rather than jTDS ). From the driver properties settings, set the integratedSecurity flag to true . Open the Connection configuration panel and choose the Driver properties section. Set the integratedSecurity flag to true . A subtle, but important step is to not provide username and password credentials to the connection.

Edit CUPS Configuration File To Re-assign Network Address

The printers.conf file can be edited to change the network address a printer uses. This can be useful to fix situations in which the printer in question has a new IP address, but the local system is trying to use the previous address. Shutdown the CUPS server Change the network address Restart the CUPS server sudo systemctl stop cups sudo nano /etc/cups/printers.conf sudo systemctl start cups NOTE The editor used in the example is nano for the sake of those who may be less comfortable in the command-line. With nano, once the change has been made, use Control + O to save the changes, and then Control + X to quit the editor. Ideally, this process would not be necessary. Instead, once a printer is added, it will always be reachable at the address it was assigned when it was added to the system. In practice, things like power outages, or breaks in network connectivity, may be enough for the DHCP server to issue a new IP address. A tip when making the address cha...
