Hi there,

I just created a DNN module for displaying, grading, and administering multiple choice quizzes.

I then use DNN 4.8.2's ability to create a module package to create a .zip file with my module.  I noticed in the manifest that it created, it has absolute paths in many places.  For instance:

        <file>
          <path>D:\dev\DnnDevelopment\DesktopModules\Hslda\Quiz</path>
          <name>EditQuestion.ascx</name>
        </file>

 

Is that correct?  Should that path be relative, something like this?

        <file>
          <path>DesktopModules\Hslda\Quiz</path>
          <name>EditQuestion.ascx</name>
        </file>

The "DNN4 Module Developers Guide" doesn't use absolute paths when it shows the Survey.dnn file.

That definitely isn't right.  It doesn't make any sense to use an absolute path there.  I'd look through Gemini and add that as a bug if it's not alreadty.

Hope it helps,

I tried searching for issues by putting "dnn path" in the "Find Issues" textbox along the top of the screen, and then I hit "Find Issues".

After about 50 seconds, I got a page which said:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Gemini Application Error

 

An application error has occured - please advise the Gemini administrator within your organization.

 

 

View error log

I tried this three times.  "View error log" just takes me back to the homepage, I assume because I don't have the proper credentials to view the log.
