I am on a learning mission in an attempt to compare DNN to alternatives for a new site. I have a skin development environment up and running and have three skin ASCX files and two containers. They need some styling but they are working and no errors are being logged. The site background is necessarily dark so we now need a container that we can use to provide a custom background and set default fonts styles for page modules. It seems simple enough but I am having trouble. Here is the container source. I figured that I would begin with something that worked. So this is an exact clone of a working container. <%@ Control language="vb" AutoEventWireup="false" Explicit="True" Inherits="DotNetNuke.UI.Containers.Container" %> <%@ Register TagPrefix="dnn" TagName="TITLE" Src="~/Admin/Containers/Title.ascx" %>

I save the container, rebuild my skin and the new container becomes selectable in the portal UI. When I alter a HTML module to use the container, the module fails to render, logging this error: 2014-08-05 10:20:11,100 [VS2013-01][Thread:Scheduler Thread][ERROR] DotNetNuke.Services.Exceptions.Exceptions - System.InvalidOperationException: Sequence contains no matching element at System.Linq.Enumerable.Single[TSource](IEnumerable`1 source, Func`2 predicate) at DotNetNuke.Services.Scheduling.Scheduler.CoreScheduler.LoadQueueFromTimer() at DotNetNuke.Services.Scheduling.Scheduler.CoreScheduler.Start() I tried reparsing the Skin from within DNN. It parses correctly and the new container is shown. I recycled the entire IIS service and the Application thinking that the cache may be causing issues. No joy. Any thought on what I missed? I suspect I missed a step but am currently clueless. Cheers... PS Attribution to Chris Hammond. I started with his HammerFlex skin which works quite nicely. This issue however is attributable to me.

please make sure, your Container contains one div or td tag with ID"ContentPane" to render module content

Thanks for the quick reply!

It does have that ID defined: <div class="ContainerPane" runat="server" id="ContentPane"></div>

I have further information

  1. The error message I pasted above does not seem to be related.  It's occurring without regard to activity on the site.  I'll create a separate thread for that one if I can't figure it out.
  2. So there is nothing being logged in this regard.  PF12 shows that the div structure is being emitted but the content is not.  For example, I can locate the div showing my container class with a generated "id=dnn_ctr419_Div1" but the element is empty.  Here is a paste of the generated HTML.  The title and the content are empty.  If I switch to my other container file (identical context except for file name) it works fine.

<div class="row" id="ContentLeftCol">
        <div class="col-md-3" id="dnn_LeftPane"><div class="DnnModule DnnModule-DNN_HTML DnnModule-419"><a name="419"></a>

<div class="ContainerWrapper">
    <div class="dnnClear">
        <h2><span class="Head" id="dnn_ctr419_TITLE1_titleLabel"> </span>


</h2>
       
        <div class="ContainerPane" id="dnn_ctr419_Div1"></div>
    </div>
</div>



</div></div>
        <div class="col-md-9 DNNEmptyPane" id="dnn_ContentPaneRight"></div>
    </div>

Tom, you should compare your container source code with source code of DNN default container, not the generated code. ID named "dnn_ctr419*" are generated automatically by DNN (to distinguish multiple modules on a page). If you want the title to be displayed, you need to provide a dnn:title tag, same with module action menu.
