Using VS 2005 Pro, the built in ASP.NET Development Web Server and SQL Server 2005 Express.

I just created a new Gallery with pictures and movies and I can no longer access it. When I try to display the Module Container for the Gallery, I get the following error displayed on page:

A critical error has occurred. Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

The three entries in the error log follow below.

I am having the same error ( Object reference not set to an instance of an object ) and all I did was change the max height setting for images and clicked update and it crashed my Gallery. Crap I tell you! I got hours of my time setting this up and it's not very stable. Change one setting and all your time and work is down the drain. I'm not real sure this module is production worthy.

Boy is this getting frustrating.  I don't know how many times I have to tell people, but the gallery version on the DNN site (version 3.0.12/3.1.12) is a BETA version.  It has been a beta version for about 2 years now, and nobody has done anything with fixing that version on the DNN site.  The code doesn't work, you shouldn't even try to run it, just stop, disable it, and leave it alone.  It just doesn't work. There are tons of bugs in it and all kinds of issues.  It might work fine for about 5 pictures, and then it errors and your gallery is toast.  So if you are running that version, please don't even post messages about how something doesn't work--as everything in it doesn't work.

Now, if you are running my patched version of the gallery (version 4.x), which has all of the bugs fixed (that I know about), then feel free to post issues and we will try our best at getting things working for you.

Thaks for the info James! The more I use DNN the more I realize it's probably not the best idea. If your admitting that the Gallery the DNN team is releasing with the core is buggy for two years now and I assume you have warned them then I'de have to wonder about the rest of the core and modules. I have ran across a few other issues as well as unfinished features that are released to the community.

I realize that DNN is free and without any warrantee, use at your own risk type software. I guess you get what you pay for! I have already aborted a couple large projects I was planning to build with DNN because of these kinds of problems.

Where can we get the version 4x of your gallery?

Overall I've generally found the latest versions of DNN to be fairly good.  So don't give up on DNN just yet.  As for the gallery module, the people developing it has just gotten very busy and havn't had any time to work on it (for years now... sigh)..

You can get my version on my website:   www.Jegers.com
