I'm getting the following error from the blog module when I log in as an administrator. The only functionality that appears to be affected is the ability to modify the view blog modules settings as the actions menu does not appear. I've upgraded to version 5, from version 4.8.3. Also upgraded blog module from version 3.4 to 3.5.1. No luck resolving this. Any suggestions?

An error has occurred.
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.NavigationControl.SolpartMenuNavigationProvider.Bind(DNNNodeCollection objNodes) at DotNetNuke.UI.WebControls.SolPartActions.BindMenu(DNNNodeCollection objNodes) at DotNetNuke.UI.WebControls.SolPartActions.Page_PreRender(Object sender, EventArgs e) --- End of inner exception stack trace ---

Thanks,
Owen

Hi Ddraig,

this is a known issue caused by the new provider that was introduced by DNN 05.00.00. This however does not affect module's functionality: you will only need to read this blog on how to get to the module options. We'll try to fix this as soon as possible to have the Blog module fully compatible with DNN 05.xx.xx.

Best regards,
Dario Rossa

Hi Ddraig,

I found a temporary workaround to avoid the load exception. I guess your container loads the menu control like this:

<%

@ Register TagPrefix="dnn" TagName="ACTIONS" Src="~/Admin/Containers/SolPartActions.ascx" %>

and then displays the menu using:

 

<dnn:ACTIONS runat="server" ID="dnnACTIONS" />

you should instead use:

 

<dnn:ACTIONS runat="server" ID="dnnACTIONS" ProviderName="DNNMenuNavigationProvider" ExpandDepth="1" PopulateNodesFromClient="True" />

The exception will not arise anymore, however the menu dropdown may become tricky and you will need some time to catch it jumping around the page. I will work to find a fix for this issue too.

Best regards,
Dario Rossa

Hi Dario,

Thank you for your prompt response, but my little question is: which file is to modify? I could not find the right file to apply the change: <dnn:ACTIONS runat="server" ID="dnnACTIONS" ProviderName="DNNMenuNavigationProvider" ExpandDepth="1" PopulateNodesFromClient="True" />
