Upgrade from 2.2.7.9 to 2.3.6.2 missing images?

Hi All;

I'm test-upgrading from mojoPortal version 2.2.7.9 to version 2.3.6.2 and found that on several sub-sites of the multi-site resolved by host name installation, images are not displaying, thought the image files are present.

I've looked through version 2.3.6.2's release notes and have seen nothing of this error. Is there a way I can look back through all the intervening release notes to discover any issues with image upgrades?

I look forward to hearing from you,
Dale E. Moore

Re: Upgrade from 2.2.7.9 to 2.3.6.2 missing images?

Hi Dale,

That is quite an old version you are upgrading from, from way back in the .NET 2.0 days.

If the urls are correct the images should work, so I would inspect the urls carefully to look for something wrong in the urls or else check file permissions or use Firebug to see if the image urls are returning 404s or any error code.

But, yes, there are links to almost every version of mojoPortal release notes on the bottom of the download page, and that should help you find out about changes over versions.

Best,

Joe

Re: Upgrade from 2.2.7.9 to 2.3.6.2 missing images?

One image is at /Data/Sites/1/GalleryImages/36/FullSizeImages/36mfull6919b81e-f8fe-48b9-a31c-ccd0525801fe.jpg while the "Image Gallery" says it's at /Data/Sites/1/media/GalleryImages/36/FullSizeImages/36mfull6919b81e-f8fe-48b9-a31c-ccd0525801fe.jpg so there's an extra non-existant folder "media". I suppose the easy way to fix this is to edit the table in MSSQL. It's interesting that the un-upgraded LIVE site does not have the extra "media" folder in the URL.

I was surprised to find that there are about 35 releases between the old version I've been using and the current version. It seems the most straightforward way to read through all the release notes is to go to http://mojoportal.codeplex.com/releases/view/20526 and iterate through each release reading each release note.

Thanks for having two File Managers! The default one just gives me a blank page, but from Admin I select the alternate and can look through things; thanks!!

Re: Upgrade from 2.2.7.9 to 2.3.6.2 missing images?

Hi Dale,

Back when we implemented the fancier jquery file manager we introduced the media folder as a parent folder for site media so that we could allow non admin users to browse and upload files without letting them muck around in other files/folders. After that we made the Image Gallery change to store its images under media so that it would be possible to browse the gallery images when editing content and re-use them in articles, blog posts etc.

There is a setting you can add to user.config to make it work without being in the media folder

so you could fix it that way but it might be more ideal to move the folder /Data/Sites/1/GalleryImages to /Data/Sites/1/media/GalleryImages in order to get that benefit of being able to browse for images from the gallleries to use in content.

Hope it helps,

Joe

Re: Upgrade from 2.2.7.9 to 2.3.6.2 missing images?

Hi Joe;

Moving GalleryImages beneath media is a lovely and easy solution, thanks for teaching me!

Do you have any suggestions about corrections to the default File Manager (/Admin/FileManager.aspx) not displaying properly? From the Icon I get a blank page that seems to grow and never stop. From the Administration Menu I get stuff like the following:

{"path":"avatars"}
{"path":"emoticons"}
{"path":"FolderGalleries"}

and have access to the Alternate File Manager (/Admin/FileManagerAlt.aspx) which seems to work fine. Perhaps FileManager.aspx needs some graphics moved beneath media, too?

Thanks,
Dale

Several of the sub-sites in my multi-site differentiated by hostname mojoPortal website are getting "Object reference not set to an instance of an object." Others do not experience this error. So far I have been unable to see what might be causing this.

Preview/Browse Skins gets a blank page like the FileManager I mentioned earlier. I got to Preview/Browse in the Administration Menu, Site Settings, Skin. I'm looking to see if something else should be under the new media folder next to GalleryImages.

Re: Upgrade from 2.2.7.9 to 2.3.6.2 missing images?

Hi Dale,

Make sure you have this in the head section of layout.master

<portal:StyleSheetCombiner id="StyleSheetCombiner" runat="server" UseIconsForAdminLinks="true" />
<portal:IEStyleIncludes id="IEStyleIncludes1" runat="server" IncludeHtml5Script="true" />
<portal:MetaContent id="MetaContent" runat="server" />

<portal:Favicon id="Favicon1" runat="server" />
<portal:ScriptLoader id="ScriptLoader1" runat="server" />

If you have the older <portal:StyleSheet , remove that.

You will also need to make sure you have a style.config file, look at the newer skins under /Data/skins to compare.

http://www.mojoportal.com/understanding-the-styleconfig-file.aspx

Then to fix various things such as the file manager, see this sticky thread in the skinning forums about skin changes over versions.

Hope it helps,

Joe

Re: Upgrade from 2.2.7.9 to 2.3.6.2 missing images?

I'm happy that the multi-site upgrade is mostly completed and all your comments, Joe, have been a great help!

I wonder if this would be a good place to ask that you consider adding the site-folder-number where sites are selected at Admin/SiteSettings.aspx... Perhaps you could add the site-folder-number in parenthesis so it's easy for administrators coordinating their file-system activities with sites. Just a thought I had.

Thanks so much,
Dale

Hi Dale,

You can add the following to your user.config and then the SiteID and GUID will be present on the SiteSettings page.

HTH,
Joe D.

Re: Upgrade from 2.2.7.9 to 2.3.6.2 missing images?

In the next release of mojoPortal, the multi site management will be a bit easier.

I've done away with the dropdown list completely, it was always a clunky thing with autopostback and redirecting when the dropdown is changed.

Instead we will have a SiteList page from which you can access site settings for child sites. And there will be a user.config setting you can add to make it show the site id
