fiddler shows a file not found error. i am not sure what file it is looking for or why it is missing when it created the page structure.

the request header is: GET /DesktopModules/MemberDirectory/API/MemberDirectory/AdvancedSearch?userId=1&groupId=36&pageIndex=0&pageSize=20&searchTerm1=&searchTerm2=&searchTerm3=&searchTerm4=&_=1373129888964 HTTP/1.1

the url section of interest is: GroupActivity/Members/tabid/287/GroupId/36/Default.aspx
this is the section which dnn social groups auto configured and was part of the url sent to the server. everything before it simply my domain and starting point where social groups is installed.

i now wonder if anyone is running members directory 7.0.6 on dnn 7.0.6.

the search button, when clicked, for member directory at url http://www.mydomain.com/Community/Soc... attempts to redirect to http://www.mydomain.com/Community/. now there is a url for http://www.mydomain.com/Community.aspx which is perfectly valid, but the other url CORRECTLY generates a 404 error. iis even reports that the physical path for the url does not exist. and it should not exist. Community is a dnn page on my site - not a directory.

in fact, hovering over the search button shows http://www.mydomain.com/Community/ as the target url in the ie status bar at the bottom of the browser. it doesn't exist, so where is it getting the idea to go there? i think it is mis-parsing the parent, Community ie Community.aspx.

there is either a giant bug in member directory, or i have something missing or misconfigured which is causing member directory to navigate to a physical directory rather than to a valid aspx on my portal. the advanced search box does not appear when clicked.

i guess the other question is where does member directory show its search results? on the page of the module? or some other page? if not the module page, then what page? i would then create it, but not sure what i would add to it to enable it to display search results.

there may well be an error in the listing templates of the member directory module, but i have used exactly what came out of the box. but it would not explain the attempt to link to an invalid url.

does anyone have any suggestions on how to get member directory to navigate to a valid page to display search results? when the member directory page loads, the symptom is the dreaded ...loading message. but it is masking a file not found error - which i suspect is the one reported here or a very similar one.

and, please, no suggestions about skins.

ps - i notice that the urls are truncated in the dislayed reply so it may be a little hard to follow the story.
