DNN Errors

Object reference not set to an instance of an object. at DotNetNuke.Entities.Users.UserInfo.GetProperty

DNN Error Object reference not set to an instance of an object. at DotNetNuke.Entities.Users.UserInfo.GetProperty After noticing a few strange things with our website, and seeing a number of users requesting access, but not receiving their authentication email. We noticed this error when we manually authorised an account.

DNN Popup Greeting–Kill it Good!

In the recent DNN 7 releases, they have unfortunately made by default a popup greeting after sign in, that in theory would drive clients to signup for their spam. Problem is (like lots of recent DNN features) that the “tick to never show again” does not work, and in some really recent releases, the popup goes crazy and does not allow you to progress into the site. In other words, they killed their own product with spam crap. Easy fix. Open the file in the web root, called: Default.aspx.cs Look for this line: ManageGettingStarted(); Just throw a // before it to comment it out. Save and restart the IIS site. Should fix it fast and for good.

DotNetNuke 05.06.03 Invalid postback or callback argument

A possible error was introduced with DotNetNuke 05.06.03 that caused certain types of post backs to generate an error: Invalid postback or callback argument. Event validation is enabled using <pages enableeventvalidation="true" /> in configuration or <%@ page enableeventvalidation="true" %> in a page. For security purposes, this feature verifies that arguments to postback or callback events originate from the server control that originally rendered them. If the data is valid and expected, use the ClientScriptManager.RegisterForEventValidation method in order to register the postback or callback data for validation. Details: http://www.dotnetnuke.com/Resources/Wiki/loc/print/Page/Event-validation.aspx This error was introduced into the Advanced Login module, when the registration form was set to use the auto filling Country / Region Selector. We have produced a fix for this in release version: 45.03.22 of our module. Update to this or a later version if you are receiving the above error. Another Fix If you are not using our modules and… Read More »DotNetNuke 05.06.03 Invalid postback or callback argument

Error The transaction log for database “domain.com” is full. To find out why space in the log cannot be reused, see the log_reuse_wait_desc column in sys.databases

While accessing a DotNetNuke website today, I was getting this error all the time. Error The transaction log for database “domain.com” is full. To find out why space in the log cannot be reused, see the log_reuse_wait_desc column in sys.databases Event ID 3001 Event code: 3001 Event message: The request has been aborted. Event time: 2/11/2010 12:28:32 PM Event time (UTC): 2/11/2010 1:28:32 AM Event ID: cc9168019d0b42cabde5ab8fa741927d Event sequence: 13 Event occurrence: 12 Event detail code: 0 I found this one a little perplexing. On further investigation I found that the transaction logging for the SQL server supporting this was massive. Around 980 meg when I would expect it to run around 15 meg. Initially I tried killing all processes with active connections to the database, but that did not have the desired result. (We all know what a pain that can be in SQL). So I set the database… Read More »Error The transaction log for database “domain.com” is full. To find out why space in the log cannot be reused, see the log_reuse_wait_desc column in sys.databases
