Extra Sidebar Content Editor Missing

When I open the Extra Sidebar Content section of the Blog Settings page I do not see an editor. I only see two headings and two help links. Am I missing something?

p.s. I am running in the built in Visual Studio server.

Re: Extra Sidebar Content Editor Missing

Hi,

Its possible you may be missing files depending on how you got the source code, the download links for source code on codeplex are not reliable, I'm not sure how they generate those zip files from the source code repository but people often report weird things when they get the code that way. The only reliable way to get the source code is to use Tortoise HG.

Then if you rebuild the entire solution and visit the /Setup/Default.aspx page it should configure everything and the editor should be there.

Hope that helps,

Joe

Thanks for the quick reply.

This is an mssqlonly build using a get all with Tortoise HQ. The only change was that I copied a site (mojoportal\Web\Data\Sites\1) on top of the files to move an existing site. 

 

If I get the latest again how does it affect an existing site?

Re: Extra Sidebar Content Editor Missing

If you already got it using Tortoise then it should be ok. Possibly a problem with the MS SQL .sln file. I would try using the regular mojoportal.sln and rebuild the solution, as long as you have Debug or Release as the build profile it will use MS SQL.

Updating from the repository only affects files under source control, it won't affect any files you've added under /Data/Sites/1/

Hope that helps,

Joe

Performed a clone of everything in Source Control and tried a rebuild both mojoportal.mssqlonly.sln and mojoportal.sln but I still do not have a sidebar content  editor

Re: Extra Sidebar Content Editor Missing

Here are things I would do to troubleshoot this problem.

  1. visit the /Setup/Default.aspx page again for good measure
  2. verify the CKeditor editor works in other places
  3. check the mojoPortal log for any logged errors that may give clues under Administration > System Log
  4. try a different skin to rule out if it is a skin related problem
  5. try different web browsers
  6. use Firebug Firefox extension or other  browser dev tools to look at all the network requests for javascript and see if it is unable to load some script or if there are any javascript console errors

Hope that helps,

Joe
