Hi!

Server: Windows 2003

Homepage: www.seventeenfour.com / feel free to reproduce the error there

mojoPortal Version 2.3.3.2 SQLite

When a user creates a new topic as guest (anonymous) and I click on reply then (as registered user or as guest), I get the following error:

Re: Forums: Reply Problem

Hi Andreas,

I recommend get mojoPortal 2.3.4.2, if the problem persists in the new version then I will investigate it as a bug, but I can't fix old versions and my guess is this is already fixed in the current version.

Hope it helps,

Joe

Hi Joe!

Thanks for your reply. I wasn't aware, that I was running an old version. smiley

I have upgraded to Version 2.3.4.2 SQLite, but I still get the same error:

Hi Andreas,

Thanks. I was able to reproduce the problem and fix it. I will put up a fixed 2.3.4.2 version for Sqlite tomorrow and post again to let you know when it is available.

Best,

Joe

Hi,

If you download mojoportal-2-3-4-2-sqlite-deploymentfiles.zip again and re-deploy it, this issue is fixed. 

Best,

Joe

Hi Joe!

I hope your are doing fine :-)

Unfortunately things are even worse now, at least for me.

I have downloaded the latest mojoportal-2-3-4-2-sqlite-deploymentfiles.zip again.

I took the server offline and restarted it. I made a copy of the current web.config and the mojo.db.config. Then I copied all the files of the zip file to the wwwroot directory and overwrote all the old files. After that I copied the db file and the web.config and overwrote the standard files.

Finally I started wwwroot/Setup/Default.aspx

When I then went on the page, where the forum is, I got the following error:

2010-04-23 14:05:40,562 ERROR mojoPortal.Web.Global - 192.168.0.200-en-US - /support.aspx

So, I tested, what would happen, if I create a new forum. I created a new test page, add the forum modul. That worked fine. But when I then wanted to add a new category, I got the same error:

Re: Forums: Reply Problem

Hi Andreas,

Generally you should use the new Web.config and restore customizations, though I don't think that is causing the issues in this case.

Did you visit the /Setup/Default.aspx page?

If your db doesn't have anything top secret, can you create an admin login for me and then send me a copy of your db in a .zip file so I can debug it here? joe dot audette at g mail dot com

Best,

Joe

Re: Forums: Reply Problem

Hi Andreas,

I've patched the 2.3.4.2 Sqlite deployment files package again, can you try the latest? You can skip uploading the /ClientScript, /Data, and /Setup folders but I would upload everything else just to be sure.

Hope it helps,

Joe

Re: Forums: Reply Problem

Hi Joe!

Thanks for your great support so far. I am now able to reply to posts again. :-)

There is still another problem, which is not such a big for me (as all my visitors post anonymous), but might for someone else: When you go to EditSubscriptions.aspx you get the very same error: Object cannot be cast from DBNull to other types.

There was also another problem, but I was able to fix this myself:

In the forum the buttons for the RSS feed and the pencil.png were missing. So, I copied the missing css lines and graphics into App_Themes\default\. I don't know, if this was the correct way to fix it, but it's working so far.

Regards,

Andreas

Hi Andreas,

Thanks for following up and letting me know about the same error on the subscription page. I have fixed this as well and hope to make a new release tomorrow or the next day.

About the forum icons, we changed to make it load those from css to make it more customizable from skinning. It was mentioned in the 2.3.4.2 release announcement that you need to add this to your style.config file:

<file cssvpath="/ClientScript/greybox/gb_styles.css" imagebasevpath="/ClientScript/greybox/">none</file>
<file cssvpath="/Data/style/forums/style.css" imagebasevpath="/Data/style/forums/">none</file>

You can find a more complete list of skin changes over time in this sticky thread in the skinning forum. 

Best,

Joe
