Hello, everybody!

Today I noticed a really funny thing in on of my DNN installations: one of users said that he couldn't see any content form my custom modules. He saw the pages, he saw the modules, but the content itself was missing.

Hmmm...

After hours of investigation I found funny entry in dbo.Profiles for my user:

<item key="Usability:ContentVisible0" type="System.String, mscorlib, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089"><string>False</string></item>

 My first reaction was GOTCHA! And really, after I changed False to True, voila: the content reappeared.

I have one question though: how on earth did he manage to put that line in his profile (and I know he didn't use SQL Management Studio :-)? Where could he click to do that?

Thanks in advance!

G.

I just finished wasting more than a few hours on this one myself. However, with a little help from my friends, this is what I found.

If the user has admin rights (he can see the control panel), then the "Design" icon in the page functions toggles this on and off.

If the design icon is showing a small green plus under the magnifying glass (Toggle Design View), then content visibility is OFF and only containers appear.

If the design icon is showing a small green minus under the magnifying glass (Toggle Design View), then content visibility is ON and everything is normal.

Just click the icon to switch between them...

A nice feature when you're dragging things around, but easy for a "less-experienced" user to toggle by accident without noticing, as my client did.

Hope this helps.

Hundreds of people have wasted time over this, so I put a ticket in Gemini ages ago suggesting that the control panel have a style that could be set to change colour when the mode changes.

I'd set it so that it changed to red or something when it was in design or edit mode.. just a cycling of colours or something like that would make it much more obvious. I dont' think the ticket was picked up, but it should have because of the number of people getting stuck on it.

Agreed! :) The difference between the "+" icon and the "-" icon is so small that it is easy to miss... I hope the powers to be will change this someday
