Re: Not Reading Module.css or Javascript

Update:

I tried manually creating App_Code/Links under my module. No change.

After doing some searching, I saw references to problems with the following lines in web.config:
<codeSubDirectories>
<add directoryName="Links" />
</codeSubDirectories>

I commented them out, and now I get a different error in my Windows event log:
Exception information:
Exception type: Configurati sException
Exception message: Could not load file or assembly 'DotNetNuke.HttpModules' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.

The request URL is for the module.css file:
Request information:
Request URL: http://dnndev.me/DesktopModules/RMSSo...
Request path: /DesktopModules/RMSSocial2/module.css

Re: Not Reading Module.css or Javascript

I think the Link module are changed to compiled module, and have now a dll file into the bin Folder. If so move out the entry for the link module from the codeSubDirectories part of your web.config file.

Re: Not Reading Module.css or Javascript

I am creating a module ATM. The Module.css just works.
1 - it has to be called module.css no flair or imagination in the name
2 - it has to be directly in the module's folder

You mentioned the path above - http://dnndev.me/DesktopModules/RMSSo... would that properly resolve to the file?

Re: Not Reading Module.css or Javascript

Update:

Just for grins, I tried installing the module on a Windows server running Server 2008 R2 and IIS 7.5. In that environment - it works as it should. On my development workstation (Windows 7 Pro x64) I tried completely removing all traces of its IIS installation. It had IIS 8 Express, in addition to IIS 7.5. I reinstalled IIS 7.5, but I still get the DotNetNuke.HTTPModules load error in the event log when attempting to load modules.css

I also came across the great article on Client Resource Management in the Wiki. That solved my problems with loading my JavaScript. I am tempted to try using it to load module.css, but I don't expect that to solve anything.

Wacky!

Re: Not Reading Module.css or Javascript

This *MIGHT* explain it. Under 'real' IIS a request for *.css or *.js, or *.jpg etc is handled by IIS ASP.Net NEVER SEES IT.

Under the precursor to IIS Express - Cassini - Cassini handled ALL the requests - even those listed above so the ASP.Net pipeline handled them.

If that's the same in IIS Express it may explain why the DNN modules see the request. It does not explain why it breaks the site.
