Hi,

I have been using DNN for the past 3 years and when ever i do upgrades i always encounter issues, even more so with this version. I have upgraded to version 5.6 with everything fully working.  I am now in the process of upgrading to 6.0.2 but am encountering many issues esp with layout etc.

I have been through the forum which has cured some of my issues esp the login form layout.

Here is a list of the main issue i have with 6.0.2:

1)Cannot add any module to any page without this error message appearing.

"An error has occurred. DotNetNuke.Services.Exceptions.ModuleLoadException: Invalid column name 'ModuleTitle'. ---> System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: Invalid column name 'ModuleTitle'. at System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection. (SqlException exception, Boolean breakConnection) at System.Data.SqlClient.TdsParser.ThrowExceptionAndWarning(TdsParserStateObject stateObj) at System.Data.SqlClient.TdsParser.Run(RunBehavior runBehavior, SqlCommand cmdHandler, SqlDataReader dataStream, BulkCopySimpleResultSet bulkCopyHandler, TdsParserStateObject stateObj) at System.Data.SqlClient.SqlDataReader.ConsumeMetaData() at System.Data.SqlClient.SqlDataReader.get_MetaData() at System.Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand.FinishExecuteReader(SqlDataReader ds, RunBehavior runBehavior, String resetOptionsString) at System.Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand.RunExecuteReaderTds(CommandBehavior cmdBehavior, RunBehavior runBehavior, Boolean returnStream, Boolean async) at System.Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand.RunExecuteReader(CommandBehavior cmdBehavior, RunBehavior runBehavior, Boolean returnStream, String method, DbAsyncResult result) at System.Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand.RunExecuteReader(CommandBehavior cmdBehavior, RunBehavior runBehavior, Boolean returnStream, String method) at System.Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand.ExecuteScalar() at Microsoft.ApplicationBlocks.Data.SqlHelper.ExecuteScalar(SqlConnection connection, CommandType commandType, String commandText, SqlParameter[] commandParameters) at Microsoft.ApplicationBlocks.Data.SqlHelper.ExecuteScalar(String connectionString, CommandType commandType, String commandText, SqlParameter[] commandParameters) at Microsoft.ApplicationBlocks.Data.SqlHelper.ExecuteScalar(String connectionString, String spName, Object[] parameterValues) at DotNetNuke.Data.SqlDataProvider.AddModule(Int32 ContentItemID, Int32 PortalID, Int32 ModuleDefID, Boolean AllTabs, DateTime StartDate, DateTime EndDate, Boolean InheritViewPermissions, Boolean IsDeleted, Int32 createdByUserID) at DotNetNuke.Entities.Modules.ModuleController.AddModuleInternal(ModuleInfo module) at DotNetNuke.Entities.Modules.ModuleController.AddModule(ModuleInfo module) at DotNetNuke.UI.ControlPanels.ControlPanelBase.AddNewModule(String title, Int32 desktopModuleId, String paneName, Int32 position, ViewPermissionType permissionType, String align) at DotNetNuke.UI.ControlPanels.IconBar.AddModule_Click(Object sender, EventArgs e) --- End of inner exception stack trace ---"

any ideas would be much appreciated.

 2) when in logged in as the host/admin i cannot see the menu items in the navigation bar on the homepage but if i go to the admin area, then they appear and i can navigate until of course going back to the homepage, where i then have to select admin or host to see any sort of navigation again. This works fine on every single page except the homepage of my site and only seems to be affecting the admin accounts. i have cleared cache and restarted iis even the app pool but still nothing but as a normal member of my site everything is fine even when they login as what i call an active member (subscription member status). To describe the problem more i can see the nav bar on the home page but there is just no contents.

These are the main 2 issues with my site on version 6.0.2

On a seperate note i even tried taking my current 6.0.2 site to 6.1 in the hope it might cure some issues but when i do this upgrade, it finishes successfully but the site does not load full stop. I get a general stack trace error i have tried restarting the server but with no success and the only difference i notice is within the default config file, there are added code areas, nothing seems to be missing so i don't understand what significant differences there can be that can cause this. esp since i have it sort of working with 6.0.2 then i upgrade to 6.1 and then it just ceases to work at all.

Many thanks to anyone who can assist me on this

Hi William,

Thanks very much for your help on this it now works like a treat, unfortunately i am still getting problems with my dnn version 6.0.2 where i was instructed by a dnncreative link to delete all the z-index references in my default.css class in doing this it has cured my issue that my navigational menus, they now appear on top of everything but the area that is not working now which actually wasn't working anyway before was the dreaded manage button if i have 3 modules in close proximity i have many layer issues and its purely that the manage button is always there and does not go in to hiding when its not being hovered over is there any way to default dnn to say if i hover over this manage button all over manage buttons don't get in its way.

Thanks and any help is appreciated
