Same error here.  Portal gets added to the Portals table, but no role creation takes place and portal fails part way through.

I tried the 'Small Business Template' and the 'portal' choices.  I tried the 'DotNetNuke' one after reading this thread and it succeeded.

This one needs a fix.

Hi,

I was having the same poblem using templates created in DNN 4.0 after upgrading to 4.5.

My Workaround:


The create portal logic is failing on templates that do not have the <profiledefinitions>...</profiledefinitions> node defined.  I copied this node from DotNetNuke.template into my existing templates and no longer received the error.

My Fix:


The logic that's failing is in ProfileController.vb where I made the following fix around line 69:

        Private Shared Sub AddDefaultDefinition(ByVal PortalId As Integer, ByVal category As String, ByVal name As String, ByVal strType As String, ByVal length As Integer, ByVal types As ListEntryInfoCollection)

            ' SHWARE - fix - wrong key accessor for the dataTypes list
            'Dim typeInfo As ListEntryInfo = types.Item("DataType." + strType)
            Dim typeInfo As ListEntryInfo = types.Item("DataType:" + strType)
            If typeInfo Is Nothing Then
                typeInfo = types.Item("DataType.Unknown")
            End If


The types.Item("DataType." + strType) should read types.Item("DataType:" + strType).

I've not thoroughly tested all aspects of my templates, but I no longer get the error and my portals seem to be created with the proper contents.

Hope this helps!
