I developed a dnn portal and a custom skin / container on my local machine...

When I run the application locally, everything is cool, but when I move it to production, the arrow for the drop-down list in the module headers is missing.  I can View Source and see that the code is there, but I can't find anything to click so that I can bring up the Settings menu.

If I change the container back to one of the defaults, it still does not work... I think something in the dnn setup is messed up, and it just can't find the arrow. (the image file is in the Images folder)

 

Hope this is in the right forum... any help is very much appreciated.  thank you...

 anybody?

 

dnn is pretty well useless if you can't access the Settings of Modules, and that's what's happening on the production server.  Any help at at all? :-/

I have never experienced this before and it's also very difficult to answer.

(unless you forgot to switch to "Edit" in the control panel, but I guess that's not it)

Are there any script errors if you visit the page on the live server? Do you use the same browser?

Did you move the complete DNN install to the live server?

Sometimes virusscanner block some functionality on a page, you could reasearch that too...

 Timo, thank you for the thoughts... 

I did copy the whole installation from dev to production servers... it took me 2-3 days to get that to actually work (going from Vista to Server 2003), but everything (except this) seems to have worked.  I have tested with IE8, Chrome, and FF3 on the dev box and IE7, Chrome, and FF3 and the production box.

 

There is a script error on the server but not on the dev machine:

using IE7 = "Automation server can't create object

FF with FireBug = "oParent is null  GetMenuItems()(null)  GenerateMenuHTML()(Document)  spm_intmyMenu(null, span#dnn_dnnNAV_ctldnnNAV)  Default.aspx?returnurl=%20fDefault.aspx()()   for (var i = 0;i<oParent.childNodes.length; i++)

 

In fact... now that I've started looking for that, there are many many script errors on the server but none on the dev machine.  All seem to point to the Menu tho.

 

If I View Source on one of the pages, the container HTML shows like this:

            <div class="widgetHeader">

                <table class="widgetHeader">

                    <tr>

                        <td>

                            <span><span width="100%" class="ModuleTitle_MenuItem" name="dnn$ctr352$dnnACTIONS$ctldnnACTIONS" id="dnn_ctr352_dnnACTIONS_ctldnnACTIONS" orient="0" sysimgpath="/Images/" imagelist="[0]action.gif" imagepaths="/Images/" carrowimg="/Images/action_right.gif" css="ModuleTitle_MenuItem" csshover="ModuleTitle_MenuItemSel" mbcss="ModuleTitle_MenuBar" mcss="ModuleTitle_SubMenu" cssicon="ModuleTitle_MenuIcon" postback="__doPostBack('dnn$ctr352$dnnACTIONS$ctldnnACTIONS','[NODEID]Click')" callback="dnn.xmlhttp.doCallBack('ctldnnACTIONS dnn_ctr352_dnnACTIONS_ctldnnACTIONS','[NODEXML]',this.callBackSuccess,oMNode,this.callBackFail,this.callBackStatus,null,null,0);"></span></span>

                        </td>

                        <td style="width:100%;text-align:left;padding-left:20px;white-space:nowrap;">

                            <span id="dnn_ctr352_dnnTITLE_lblTitle" class="Head">Portal Aliases</span>

 

 

 

                        </td>

                        <td>

                            

                        </td>

                    </tr>

                </table>

            </div>

 

and if I look at the parsed .ascx file, the same area looks like this:

            <div class="widgetHeader">

                <table class="widgetHeader">

                    <tr>

                        <td>

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

                        </td>

                        <td style="width:100%;text-align:left;padding-left:20px;white-space:nowrap;">

                            <dnn:TITLE runat="server" id="dnnTITLE" CssClass="Head" />

                        </td>

                        <td>

                            <dnn:VISIBILITY runat="server" id="dnnVISIBILITY" minIcon="images/controls_minimize.gif" MaxIcon="images/controls_maximize.gif" />

                        </td>

                    </tr>

                </table>

            </div>

 

Do you think I need to somehow uninstall and reinstall this portal?

Thanks again for the response
