HI Richard,

1.) I just upgraded 6.02.00 to 7.00.06 and the only problem I had was that LiveID and OpenID authentication extensions were not upgraded and caused errors which prevented me from login in on 7. (there's a post below about that)  However, this problem would likely be something particular to my installation. If everybody had it I guess we'd know already. So, you should be able to upgrade straight to 7.

Isn't the official word that the upgrade routine will run through all versions, since 5.x on, unless you had heavy customization? (What I heard Shaun Walker say in a keynote once :-) )

2.) WIKI has it, http://www.dotnetnuke.com/Resources/Wiki/Page/Upgrading-DotNetNuke.aspx

Hope this helps.

Thanks for the reply, Sebastian.

Did that and the problem is apparently resolved, as I see so far.  But is there a problem with the upgrade process or was this a problem uniquely related to my installation?

This is the story in case it can help others
Before I got to see your message, I traced the error message on the log back to LiveID and OpenID authentication modules.  I checked the dlls and saw their file dates where from 2008 instead of 04/29/13 like all the other Authentication dlls.  So, that gave me the idea that these dlls were not installed or upgraded from previous 6.02.00.

After the failed upgrade I couldn't login to DNN to check Extension versions or elegantly update LiveID and OpenID.  So, as a test I overwrote the dlls with current ones downloaded from CodePlex. The errors went away and I was able to login and verify extension versions were all 6.02, except these two were registered as 1.00.

I had the option of elegantly re-installing and registering both modules through DNN and leaving it at that, but I couldn't be sure if that would correct all problems created by upgrade routine not processing LiveID and OpenID. So, I followed your suggestion of running the upgrade again after restoring 6.02 and uninstalling the two extensions.  Upgrade went well.  I logged in 7.00  and installed the two missing extensions through DNN.  Perhaps my first solution would have been equivalent, but as a user, one couldn't be sure and was better to run upgrade again.

Anyway, is there any reason why LiveID and OpenID authentication extensions would not be correctly upgraded?

Thanks.

Chug chug chug goes the printer.  I will be feeding it for hours.  Anyplace to buy the downloadable manuals already printed and bound?

Try commenting out the Throw New System.NotImplementedException line.

Also check the manifest file and ensure the Business Controller Class is correct. 

Our web server was just cloned so that we can have a staging environment. What steps do I need to take so that the database on the production server is not written to?

Here is what I am thinking - modify the connection strings in web.config on the clone so it references Database_test instead of Database and then rename Database to Database_test. Is this all I need to do to be 100% safe from overwriting the live server? I am particularly nervous because the 1st thing I intend to do with the staging environment is upgrade DNN CE 5.6.2 to the current version 7.

Your feedback is welcome and very much appreciated.

I am supporting an admin user of the Forms and List module who is having trouble reconciling the data being exported to the CSV file and the listing of data being shown when clicking “Show Records”.

The Show Records link correctly lists all record, but the export to CSV file contains a lot fewer records. It looks like the export to CSV algorithm may try to account for duplicate submits, eliminating what appear to be duplicate submits (because the submit times are more- or-less identical). This doesn’t seem to always be true, however. Sometimes it appears that records that appear to be double submits in the list, do show up in the csv file.

Does anybody have a better explanation for the discrepancy?

I am getting this same error.  Did you or anyone else find a fix for this?

Hello, I am new to DNN, I added some more rows to the default Dot Net nuke HTML Module that had 2 small images, a line of text and a read more link that gets converted to a button when it displays.

 so I added some more list items by copying and pasting the list item tags and everything in between,  I did shorten the amount of text that displays, and now they stack 3 wide, and look funny. I would paste a snip of what it looks like, but I don't think this forum supports images.

thanks
