Hi,

I am learning how to develop modules in DotNetNuke and have been following the TaskManager video series. There was one thing that did not work in my installation of DotNetNuke, and that was the Edit of the TaskManager items. The code when you click the Edit button is:

Response.Redirect(EditUrl(string.Empty, string.Empty, "Edit", "tid=" + e.CommandArgument));

When Christ Hammond clicks the editbutton, he is redirected to the url http://dnndev/TaskManager/tabid/65/ct..., but when I run it I am redirected to http://dnndev/Test2.aspx, which is blank (the page where I put the TaskManager module on is called Test2).

Anyone who has a clue why it's not working? I am using version 6.2.

Yes, I have done that, but the EditUrl seems to produce the wrong url or some error occur there.

Hi Fredrik,

I know the reply is late and may be you have already solved the issue, but I hope this can help others.

I was also having an issue with this part of module, I used it on DNN community edition 6.2.3. When ever I was clicking on edit for any task, I was getting this error message:

"Corrupted Content Error".

After debugging the code I found out that the URL generating through EditUrl was including show("then URL")

Something like this:
" Show("dnndev/TaskManager.aspx .......")"

So I changed the code a little bit and it worked for me. Here are the changes:

in "View.ascx":

<asp:Repeater ID="rptTaskList" runat="server"
        onitemcommand="rptTaskList_ItemCommand"
        onitemdatabound="rptTaskList_ItemDataBound">
        <ItemTemplate>
            <li class="tm_t">
                <h3>
                    <asp:Label ID="lblTaskName" runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("TaskName") %>'></asp:Label>
                </h3>
                <asp:Label ID="lblTargetCompletionDate" runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("TargetCompletionDate") %>' CssClass="tm_tcd"></asp:Label>
                <asp:Label ID="lblTaskDescription" runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("TaskDescription") %>' CssClass="tm_td"></asp:Label>
                <asp:Panel ID="pnlAdmin" runat="server" Visible="false">
                    <asp:LinkButton ID="lnkEdit" runat="server" ResourceKey="EditTask.Text" Visible="false" Enabled="false"></asp:LinkButton>
                     <asp:LinkButton ID="lnkDelete" runat="server" ResourceKey="DeleteTask.Text" CommandName="Delete" Visible="false" Enabled="false"></asp:LinkButton>
                </asp:Panel>
            </li>
        </ItemTemplate>
    </asp:Repeater>

 

in "View.ascx.cs"

protected void rptTaskList_ItemDataBound(object sender, System.Web.UI.WebControls.RepeaterItemEventArgs e)
{
if (e.Item.ItemType == ListItemType.AlternatingItem || e.Item.ItemType == ListItemType.Item)
{
LinkButton lnkEdit = (LinkButton)e.Item.FindControl("lnkEdit");
LinkButton lnkDelete = (LinkButton)e.Item.FindControl("lnkDelete");
Panel pnlAdminControls = (Panel)e.Item.FindControl("pnlAdmin");

Task curTask = (Task)e.Item.DataItem;

if (IsEditable && lnkDelete != null && lnkEdit != null && pnlAdminControls != null)
{
pnlAdminControls.Visible = true;
lnkDelete.CommandArgument = lnkEdit.CommandArgument = curTask.TaskId.ToString();
lnkEdit.PostBackUrl = (EditUrl(string.Empty, string.Empty, "Edit", "tid/" + curTask.TaskId.ToString())).ToString();
lnkDelete.Enabled = lnkDelete.Visible = lnkEdit.Enabled = lnkEdit.Visible = true;
}
else
{
pnlAdminControls.Visible = false;
}

ClientAPI.AddButtonConfirm(lnkDelete, Localization.GetString("ConfirmDelete", LocalResourceFile));
}
}

protected void rptTaskList_ItemCommand(object source, System.Web.UI.WebControls.RepeaterCommandEventArgs e)
{
if (e.CommandName == "Delete")
{
TaskController.DeleteTask(Convert.ToInt32(e.CommandArgument));
}

Response.Redirect(DotNetNuke.Common.Globals.NavigateURL());
}

Above code worked for me.

But there was a strange thing, source package was generating error. So I downloaded install package from codeplex and installed it on my website, it worked without any issue. I still don't get it, why install package was working but source package was not.

The issue was also posted on codeplex by someone:

If anyone get the reason then please also reply me :)
