Hi everyone... We have a few modules that utilize the DNN Toolbar and within the latest 5.0 release some customers are starting to experience a problem whenever they are 'NOT' in edit mode.  Below are the details of the error:

Error: 'dnn.controls.toolbars' is null or not an object

So far we have determined with the two clients reporting it that:

* Their DNN version was an upgrade

* The error does not exist if the admin is signed in and the mode is set to EDIT

* This same code has been used within these modules from DNN 4.5.x to through DNN 4.9.x and doesn't have this problem.

* I can only duplicate the JavaScript but in IE on the site having the issue (not FireFox)

Does anyone have any idea what might be causing this and if its an issue (possibly with the toolbar control and / or JavaScript file that comes with DNN?).

I checked the code and this is the line of JavaScript that exists at the bottom of the page that is throwing the error:

dnn.controls.toolbars['tbDynamicF']={vis:-1,css:'eipbackimg',btns:[{ca:'edit',key:'edit',css:'eipbutton_edit',alt:'Edit'},{ca:'save',key:'save',css:'eipbutton_save',alt:'Update'},{ca:'cancel',key:'cancel',alt:'Cancel'}],cssb:'eipbuttonbackimg',cssbh:'eipborderhover'};

The only code behind code that exists for this control is that its set to visible=false if the system is 'NOT' in edit mode. So apparently setting the visibility to false is throwing the error?

Can anyone provide any help or input?

Lewis,

Hi. Yes we still have a few clients running into this issue and so we are researching it more and more... From our knowledge its only happening on DNN 5/501 upgrades and not fresh installations. Can you tell me if yours was an upgrade?

Basically the module makes use the the DNN Label Edit control and in view mode there are several JavaScript files that do not get rendered to the page at all. This causes problems and was never until issue until 5.x. I can list out the files but have not determined when/why they are not getting rendered in view mode and most of all why they do when its a fresh installation VS an upgrade.

Chad,

Thanks for your message. This is a clean install on DNN 05.00.01 and I am using DYNAMIC REGISTRATION Version:3.2.6.0. The registration seems to work but there is the page error. This site is not in production and I hope to upgrade to DNN 5.1 which may resolve this error.

Please let me know if you find a fix.
