Hi,

I'm new to DNN.

We have a serious issue with DNN 4.9.5, and when I go to report this as an issue on http://support.dotnetnuke.com only versions 5.x are offered on the form.

Where can I report a bug and ask if there is a patch or get instructions on how to fix this in the DNN core?

The specific issue has to do with module caching and output for crawlers (such as Googlebot). A similar issue was reported before, and was apparently fixed in 4.9.5 - http://support.dotnetnuke.com/issue/ViewIssue.aspx?id=10419&projid=2.

Version of DNN is 4.9.5.

If the module cache is empty and a request comes from a client that DNN recognizes as a crawler, then module content is duplicated.

Steps to reproduce:

1. DNN upgrade from 4.9.0 to 4.9.5

2. Add a Text/HTML module to Left Pane.

3. Edit the module, and enter some text, for example "Hola."

4. Restart IIS or the DNN web site - or in some otehr way make sure that the moduel cache is empty.

5. Simulate requesting the page as a crawler, I used Fiddler with User-agent set to:

Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Googlebot/2.1; +http://www.google.com/bot.html)

6. Examine the reponse, you will find "Hola." repeated twice, for example:

<td id="dnn_LeftPane" valign="top" class="LeftPane"><a name="371"></a><span id="dnn_ctr371_ContentPane" class="DNNAlignleft"><!-- Start_Module_371 --><div id="dnn_ctr371_ModuleContent">
    <div id="dnn_ctr371_HtmlModule_lblContent" class="Normal">
        <p>Hola.</p>
    </div>
<div id="dnn_ctr371_HtmlModule_HtmlModule_lblContent" class="Normal">
        <p>Hola.</p>
    </div>
<!-- End_Module_371 -->
</div></span>
</td>

Any information is appreciated. Thank you.

Sorry, but the 4.x version was "sunsetted" which means that we no longer work on it (except in extreme circumstances such as a critical security bug - but we've had so many 5.x releases now that I don't believe even that would reactive the 4.x branch). I recommend upgrading to a more recent release e.g. 5.2.2, or 5.2.3 (scheduled for release next week)

Hi Cathal, Thanks for your reply. We are currently running 200+ portals, and we want to asses if getting this issue resolved in a different way (patch or a targeted change in DNN core) is possible before embarking down the upgrade path. I have reposted this specific question to the DotNetNuke Open Core section of the forum. Please let me know if there is a more appropriate place for this issue.

No, that's absolutely fine, that's the forum I'd have recommended. Hopefully someone can help you develop a fix. I would recommend though that you ensure you rollback the fix (if you get one) before upgrades as otherwise you'd be running a "fork" of dotnetnuke and theres a chance (albeit very small) that it might suffer upgrade problems that a "real" version of DotNetNuke wouldn't

Good luck!
