This is a fresh DNN 4.3.3 installation on my webhost, not an upgrade.

The Edit Module Definitions page for any module fails to submit. Some of the other buttons on the page also fail when clicked e.g. when trying to set premium usage for a module. The browsers report the following errors for the Submit button and the remaining errors are nearly identical, just for different buttons.

Internet Explorer:
Line: 1
Char: 1
Error: 'WebForm_PostBackOptions' is undefined
Code:0

Firefox:
Error: WebForm_DoPostBackWithOptions is not defined
Source File: WebForm_DoPostBackWithOptions(new WebForm_PostBackOptions("dnn:ctr322:EditModuleDefinition:cmdUpdate", "", true, "", "", false, true))
Line: 1

The site logs are all clean, no module errors or anything else reported. There seems to be somethign missing from the code on that page.

Addendum:
I've now discovered that individual module advanced settings pages also will not submit... same error. It's like something has messed with page code somewhere.

Any ideas are greatly appreciated.

Rob

Hi John, thanks for the reponse.

The link was oddly malformed, but with a bit of detective work I managed to find the thread here: http://dotnetnuke.com/Community/ForumsDotNetNuke/tabid/795/forumid/108/threadid/57742/scope/posts/Default.aspx

I read through the thread a few times. It is definitely describing the same thing as is happening to me. I'll write down exactly what I've done since to see if it triggers anything with you. At the moment it's all working fine.

  • I don't know anything about blowery compression - my site is on Webhost4life. I have other 3.1.1 and 4.0.3 sites there but the error is the only happening on the 4.3.3.
     
  • Just in case it was problematic, I decided to remove a line of code from web.config which belongs to an email address cloaking addon I bought on Snowcovered. The line goes in the httpModules section and is <add type="PHD.EmailCloaker.CloakEncode,PHD.EmailCloaker" name="PHD.EmailCloaker" />
     
  • I then examined the Host Settings page, but I'd not changed anything there other than the copyright info. Even so, I clicked the Clear Cache link and then also clicked Update just in case something needed a push.
     
  • Then I went to check for the error.. and this time it worked! I could now submit from module definitions and settings pages.
     
  • Not being certain what fixed it, I placed the email cloaker line back in the web.config, logged out and in and started going down the modules list setting them to premium. It worked for a while and then all of a sudded failed again - apparent reason.
     
  • Thinking it might be the email cloaker code, I took that out again. It didn't come right immediately but after some clicking around and cache clearing, it worked again.
     
  • Then I added the email cloaker code again to web.config to see if I could make it break on purpose. However, I've been setting modules to premium for the last hour (it's so slow) and not had the error.
     
  • I'm unconvinced that the email cloaker code is the cause. It seems to just start happening and then after some messing around it works again.

I'm loathe to try and get Webhost4life to try and figure it out from all this unless I can give them something specific to do.

Hope this triggers some thoughts. For now I'll keep working away on my portal, but it's starting to feel a bit shakey.

Regards,
Rob

Ok! Stop Press!... Maybe it is the email cloaker thing after all. 2 minutes after submitting the post above, it all went wrong again. So I removed the code and reloaded the site and now it works fine again. I'll leave the code out for good now and see how it goes. I'll also notify the  author and put the link to his product here in case anyone can have a glance and see if they think it's a possible problem.
http://www.snowcovered.com/Snowcovered2/Default.aspx?tabid=242&PackageID=5088&search=Email+Cloaker&pagenumber=0&sortby=&tagid=

In the author's own words: "This module is installed as a HTTPModule, providing on-the-fly cloaking of all email addresses contained within the content of the DNN site. No changes to your content are necessary - just install this module and all email links are cloaked as they are delivered to the browser."

Could it be causing this problem? Any opinions on this are appreciated.

Success!

The developer of the email cloaker module responded very quickly and says that it is caused by their product and he has now sorted it out and posted the fix back on Snowcovered. I only wish the producers of several other modules I've bought there were giving me similar service :(

Anyhow... I guess anyone with a similar problem should certainly be suspicious of modifications they might have made to their web.configs. I suspected this particular item because I saw 'httphandlers' mentioned the thread John pointed me to.

Case closed :)

Rob

Thanks for reporting back on that Rob.  This may help others, so I'll post a link back here on that other thread.
