Hi,

I'm running DNN 5.0.12 and help module 3.0.2.

I can edit categories ok, but  I don't seem to be able to add tutorials.  The graphics for the release (http://www.dotnetnuke.com/Community/Blogs/tabid/825/EntryId/1906/Help-Module-version-03-00-02-Released.aspx) include an "add tutorial" link at the bottom of the help page. I'm logged in as super user.

If I go into module definitions and copy the key into the URL I can access the page for adding tutorials but it is unaware of any categories that I have added.

Do I need to link the help and category definitions somehow? I don't see how to do this as they are both in the same help module.

Thanks for any help- sorry if it's a daft question, I'm quite new!

I have a similar problem...

basically the "help" does not see the "categories" eventhought it is right under it

There are no category modules in this page. Please add a category module to the page and assign it using module settings.

I have another dnn install that I use for testing and that one works just fine (small bug) but it works, I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling a couple of times I have tried copying from the working site, I even tried installing an older version, I get no errors during install/uninstall, when i go to the settings of the help module there is no category module in the drop down, and if I hit "update" I get an error, most likely because it is "blank":

An error has occurred.
DotNetNuke.Services.Exceptions.ModuleLoadException: Conversion from string "" to type 'Integer' is not valid. ---> System.InvalidCastException: Conversion from string "" to type 'Integer' is not valid. ---> System.formatException: Input string was not in a correct format. at Microsoft.VisualBasic.CompilerServices.Conversions.ParseDouble(String Value, NumberformatInfo Numberformat) at Microsoft.VisualBasic.CompilerServices.Conversions.ToInteger(String Value) --- End of inner exception stack trace --- at Microsoft.VisualBasic.CompilerServices.Conversions.ToInteger(String Value) at Microsoft.VisualBasic.CompilerServices.Conversions.ToInteger(Object Value) at DotNetNuke.Modules.Help.Help.get_ModuleActions() at DotNetNuke.UI.Modules.ModuleInstanceContext.LoadActions(HttpRequest Request) at DotNetNuke.UI.Modules.ModuleInstanceContext.get_Actions() at DotNetNuke.UI.Containers.ActionBase.Page_Load(Object sender, EventArgs e) --- End of inner exception stack trace --- 

this renders the module completely useless and I have to delete the page to get rid of it.

I found my problem to be the second connection string on the web.config, for some reason I had it pointing to my test server, I must have had this set like this for a  very long time.
