I updated the feedback module today and it appears one of the things the SQL update script is doing is going through the modulesettings table and replacing 'width' with 'Feedback_Width'  it does this to ALL database entries.  All modules use the modulesettings table to store information and the feedback module isnt the only one with 'width' entries in this table.  It broke several of inventua modules and also the Iframe module.  My guess is this module will ruin any module that uses 'width' setting in this table.

I ran a SQL query to fix it.  Simply changed all the 'Feedback_Width' back to 'width'  (246 rows) So 246 broken modules.

This is ridiculous.

I tried to scour the forum to make sure this module was harmless, it seemed fine on my dev machine (granted, I did NOT have any IFrames on the dev site)
I'm sorry I didn't see this post earlier.

 

How, exactly, is this to be repaired?
What is the SQL query?

Bent,

This is a good find, I hope that the members of the project team can fix this script quickly and get a new version out. 

I have validated that this would break items in my installation as well.

Mitchel: any idea on how BentAngle ran the SQL query? I've never had to run one so I am at a bit of a loss here.  
Otherwise,  I'll just revert  to a backup.

You could run a query like the following either from SQL Server Management Studio or from your Host -> SQL menu option in DNN.

I Highly recommend making a DB and site backup first, just incase..

UPDATE moduleSettings
SET SettingName = 'Width'
WHERE settingName = 'Feedback_Width'

That should do it!
