Im not sure this is the right thread but i got a problem with the export template funtion. When i try to export a portal template i always got this error --  DotNetNuke.Modules.Admin.PortalManagement.Template.SerializeTabs

DotNetNuke.Services.Exceptions.ModuleLoadException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object. ---> System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object. at DotNetNuke.Modules.Admin.PortalManagement.Template.SerializeTabs(XmlDocument xmlTemplate, XmlNode nodeTabs, PortalInfo objportal, Hashtable hRoles) at DotNetNuke.Modules.Admin.PortalManagement.Template.cmdExport_Click(Object sender, EventArgs e) --- End of inner exception stack trace ---

I use only module provided by DNN. I try with or without the include content and got the same error. I got another portal that can be export correctly... only one portal give me this error.

Can someone help me about this...  i try alot of thing like empty the Recycle bin of DNN dans try to clean data in database...

Thanks  Fred

I had the same problem but you need to go on the portal you want to export as a template, then log in as host and go in the portal menu.

In other words, you need to export the template from the portal that is being exported.

Hello,

I am having have the same problem (DNN 4.5.3), trying to export the portal using the "Host->Portals" menu.

Any real solution for this, so far?
