Hi guys,

Ive hacked up a little container object which returns JUST the modules title as plain text, unformatted etc. Im using this skin object to pass a variable to a flash movie so that I can get flash based module titles in my client preferred font/colors etc.

Anyway, for the most part it works.

Occasionally, the titles dont work - and when I check the pages source, its rendering the titles just as " " and not the module title. This only seems to happen in "View" mode - when I go into "Edit" mode, the title renders perfectly.

Just wondering if anyone had any ideas why this would happen?

This is my skinobject Ive called "lTitle.ascx"
--
<%@ Control Language="vb" AutoEventWireup="false" Inherits="DotNetNuke.UI.Containers.lTitle" CodeFile="lTitle.ascx.vb" %>

--

And the CodeBehind
--
Namespace DotNetNuke.UI.Containers
    Partial Class lTitle
        Inherits UI.Skins.SkinObjectBase
        Const MyFileName As String = "lTitle.ascx"
        Private Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
            Try
                Dim objPortalModule As Entities.Modules.PortalModuleBase = Container.GetPortalModuleBase(Me)
                Dim strTitle As String = Null.NullString
                If Not objPortalModule Is Nothing Then
                    strTitle = objPortalModule.ModuleConfiguration.ModuleTitle
                End If
                If strTitle = Null.NullString Then
                    strTitle = " "
                End If
                litTitle.Text = strTitle
            Catch exc As Exception    'Module failed to load
                ProcessModuleLoadException(Me, exc)
            End Try
        End Sub
    End Class
End Namespace

Im registering the objects via the module skin with
--
<%@ Register TagPrefix="dnn" TagName="TITLE1" Src="~/Admin/Containers/lTitle.ascx" %>
<%@ Register TagPrefix="dnn" TagName="TITLE2" Src="~/Admin/Containers/lTitle.ascx" %>
<%@ Register TagPrefix="dnn" TagName="TITLE3" Src="~/Admin/Containers/lTitle.ascx" %>
--

And Im calling the flash (with fallback) via this code...
--
<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" width="100%" height="40">
  <param name="movie" value="/Portals/_default/Containers/JaniKing Intranet/title.swf?thisTitle=<DNN:TITLE1 runat="server" />" />
  <param name="quality" value="high" />
  <param name="wmode" value="opaque" />
  <param name="swfversion" value="8.0.35.0" />
  <!-- This param tag prompts users with Flash Player 6.0 r65 and higher to download the latest version of Flash Player. Delete it if you don’t want users to see the prompt. -->
  <param name="expressinstall" value="/Scripts/expressInstall.swf" />
  <!-- Next object tag is for non-IE browsers. So hide it from IE using IECC. -->
  <!--[if !IE]>-->
  <object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="/Portals/_default/Containers/JaniKing Intranet/title.swf?thisTitle=<DNN:TITLE2 runat="server" />" width="100%" height="40">
    <!--<![endif]-->
    <param name="quality" value="high" />
    <param name="wmode" value="opaque" />
    <param name="swfversion" value="8.0.35.0" />
    <param name="expressinstall" value="/Scripts/expressInstall.swf" />
    <!-- The browser displays the following alternative content for users with Flash Player 6.0 and older. -->
    <span style="color:#333333; font-family:'Helvetica', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-weight: Normal; font-size: 28px;"><dnn:TITLE3 runat="server" id="dnnTTITLE3" /></span>
    <!--[if !IE]>-->
  </object>
  <!--<![endif]-->
</object>

So... in "view" mode... this is whats happening..




As you can see, its (for whatever reason) replaced the title with "&amp;nbsp;"...

This is the exact same page in "Edit" mode...



Does anyone have any suggestions? Ive spent 2 days trying to work this out, and Im stumped!!

Thanks!
