Hi John Mitchell,

Everyone seems to be successful with using your template solution but me. 

I am using DNN 4.5.3, I downloaded your template, unzipped the file, renamed to old one and placed it in the directory you mentioned. 

For those who are unfamilliar, the portal.template.xsd file should be placed in the <root>/admin/Portal folder.

I close all Browsers to eliminate caching. 

I then make a new Template but when I use it to create a new Portal I get the following errors.

Templates are very important to me.  Could you help me figure out why your solution is not working for me.

Thanks,

Mike

Thanks John,

Thanks for answering me question.  I am not a vb programmer so I will have to roll up my sleaves and do trial and error based on you tip.  I will make sure that any of the modules I have are not permission specific in the template.  It is a good place to start.

Thanks,

Mike

Hi Jim,

I just found that problem late last night.  There is a new property in the Tabs for SSL causing this bug.

I have updated the attachment at the following thread to correct this new error.
