I went to install a clean instance of 6.1.3 a couple of days ago using Web Platform Installer and I have not been able to work around a SQL error in the installation wizard for 2 days. I am using a SQL Express instance on the same test machine, a 2008 R2 Server that is a member server in the domain. SQL Express 2008 R2 is installed and two other applications use this SQL Express instance and are running fine. I can connect locally and remotely to SQL Express. I have tried everything I can think of.

The error is:
Connection Error(s):
Index #: 0
Source: .Net SqlClient Data Provider
Class: 14
Number: 15382
Message:  

Any ideas on where to point me to solve this mystery?

TIA, Kent

I've recently upgraded to 6.1.3 and I am noticing some strange behaviour with the copyright notice at the bottom of the site.  I noticed that the copyright notice was outdated (still showing 2010 even though I had changed the copyright to 2011 sometime last year).  I don't think it had to do with the upgrade, I just noticed it afterwards.

i went from 5.6.1 to 5.6.7 to 6.0.2 to 6.1.3 with no errors and all seems well (Updated all modules also).  I went in and changed the copyright notice to blank which should show the notice as Copyright (c) 2012 Site Name.  This works for some users, however it does change back and forth depending who is logged in or not.  I have tested this across different browsers and computer, cleared cache, and restarted the application.

For example, on one machine, the following is seen:

• In IE9, not logged in, shows old 2010 copyright notice.
• in IE9, logged in as host, shows old 2010 copyright notice
• in IE9, logged in as Portal Admin, shows the new 2012 notice.
• in IE9, logged in as ordinary user, shows the new 2012 notice
• in FF10, not logged in, the new 2012 notice is shown.
• in FF10, logged in as host, shows old 2010 notice
• in FF10, logged in as Portal Admin, shows new 2012 notice
• in FF10, logged in as ordinary user, shows new 2012 notice

i did try a different machine, however it had also accessed the site as a particular user (admin i believe) and the old 2010 notice showed up.  I will try clearing that information out and see what happens.

I'm no SQL Server expert, but i think this indicates the wrong kind of Recovery model, and/or backups not being taken.

I'm a bit hazy on the details here, so I'm hoping a proper expert will be along soon.

I am getting the following message when I click on the host settings link:

Well that didn't work.

Got up this morning and checked our site and saw a blank page. Great.

So one module is set to end 2/6/2012 and the other module is set to start 2/7/2012. Maddening.

How does that equate to a blank page on 2/6/2012?

I'm looking for a form tool that will allow me to use some textboxes and some dropdown boxes to create an xml document.  After adding content to these boxes, the form will save them as myfile.xml.  I will put the other information into the form, and only require the user to fill in the required fields.  Does anyone know of a tool that will do this?

Unfortunately null object reference errors are the most common of unhandled errors and could be coming from almost any part of your module where an instance of an object is not getting properly instantiated before it is referenced in your code. You will most likely need to set a debugging breakpoint in the Init or Load handler of your default view control and step through your initialization code as the module is added to a page.

I have also seen null refernece errors being generated in the core methods that inject a module to a page when the module control does not inherit from PortalModuleBase or otherwise implement IModuleControl interface.

Also, be sure to set your default view control's registration to use a blank ControlKey. Generally, however, that does not cause a null reference or other error as it just prevents the module from showing up on the page.

Hi,

We have a custom registration module installed on a portal that was written by someone else.  We want to add the ability to raise a Javascript alert when the user clicks the Submit button.  However, the site owner wants to control or change the message text of the alert.  Can this be done via a module setting?  If so, how would I approach this?

Thanks,

Sid

Hi,

Thanks for the reply. I'll check it out.

Like the Enterprise version, can I get the Pro in .zip? 

 I prefer a manual download of the files without going through Webmatrix.

Hi,

I'm working on a DNN portal that has a few custom modules installed.  I need to change the programming logic of some of them.  What are the steps for updating a module already installed on a portal? 

Thanks,

Sid

 Hi again,

Thanks for the help, it's greatly appreciated, one more question though:

If I want to navigate from one module to another, I need to use NavigateUrl using the controlkey of the other control in my other module, but the View control doesn't have any controlkey, how do I manage that ?

I would like to know if Forms and Lists can handle following scenario.

I have a website (DNN based) that serves as phone reviews website.

I want to record phone names and models to a database table called BudgetFriendlyPhones

Then, lets say user inputs 1000 TL (TL is Turkish Currency) and module looks to database and lists phones based on the price scale.

For instance: I want to recommend Huawei Ideos X5, if users budget is around 500-700, and Galaxy S 2 if it is more than 1400...

I would appreciate any help on this :)

Timo here is a capture, the problem is both in text and rich editor.

The problem has been reported to (a) the Ckeditor developer (b) to Ventrian, and both point at DotNetNuke.
