File Manager

I upgraded from DNN 5.6.3 to DNN 6.0.0 and all seemed to be working fine until I went to any of our links that used the new links module...tried uninstalling and then reinstalling the new links module but it didn't help. Anyway...while troubleshooting I found that I also cannot get the file manager to come up either...not as an administrator or as the host. I've tried just about everything I can think of...to include setting the skin to the DNN provided minimalextropy but get the same problem...file manager is currently unavailable...the following is the error and log from the event viewer...anyone have a suggestion???

Error: File Manager is currently unavailable.

Re: File Manager

Ok...so I upgraded to 6.0.1 tonight and almost everything is working correctly now except the file Manager...I'm still getting a similar error in the event log. Does anyone have any ideas?

Re: File Manager

The problem is in the file :
DesktopModules/Admin/FileManager/FileManager.aspx.cs

Locate the function : PreloadFolderImages()

Not time to debug what's happening, but if you add a try catch it will resolve the problem :

private void PreloadFolderImages()
        {
            IFolderMappingController folderMappingController = FolderMappingController.Instance;
            FolderMappingInfo folderMappingInfo = null;
            string imageUrl = String.Empty;

            foreach (var folderMapping in FolderMappings)
            {
               try
               {
                folderMappingInfo = folderMappingController.GetFolderMapping(folderMapping.Key);
                imageUrl = folderMappingInfo.ImageUrl;
                DNNTree.ImageList.Add(imageUrl);
               }
               catch {}
            }
        }

Re: File Manager

on my side, the bug is coming from 2 keys below :

folderMapping.Key=2
folderMapping.Value="Secure"

and

folderMapping.Key=3
folderMapping.Value="Database"
