Hi!

I just upgradedfrom DNN 4.0.2 to 4.3.7. Everything went fine, except the Event module does not work anymore.

The module shows the line:

Please Select Settings to configure Events Module...

After going to Settings, I get the following error message:

Error: Module is currently unavailable.
DotNetNuke.Services.Exceptions.ModuleLoadException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object. ---> System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object. at DotNetNuke.Services.Exceptions.Exceptions.ProcessModuleLoadException(PortalModuleBase ctrlModule, Exception exc) at DotNetNuke.Modules.Events.EventController.UpgradeEvents(Int32 ModuleID) at DotNetNuke.Modules.Events.Settings.LoadSettings() at DotNetNuke.Modules.Admin.Modules.ModuleSettingsPage.Page_Load(Object sender, EventArgs e) --- End of inner exception stack trace ---


Deleting the module from the page and reinserting it does not solve the problem.

Thank you
Horia

Hi.  Somebody please correct me if I'm wrong...but I believe that the Events module that came with DNN 4.0.2 was the original Events module.  Sometime in early 2006 (after DNN 4.0.2), Alan Vance took over the Events module project and gave it a major overhaul.  He graciously donated his AVCalendar module to the DNN project and made it the new Events module.  Therefore, the Events module in DNN versions 4.0.2 and 4.3.7 are very different animals.  This may be the source of your issue.

Again, I want to stress that I'm just taking a stab.  Anybody who knows differently should please speak up.

Continuing with my previous assumptions, did you have an extensive amount of data in the DNN 4.0.2 Events module that you wish to save?  If so, you'll want to dig around in the forum for information about migrating the data from the old Events module to the new Events module.  I know that there was a data migration path from the AVCalendar module to the new Events module, but I'm not sure if one existed from the original Events module.  If anyone else knows, please chime in at any time.

It's been my experience that funny things can sometimes happen during the DNN upgrade process.  Things don't always work the way you might expect.  For that matter, I don't think that things always work the way that the programmer expects, either!  If worse comes to worse (and you don't care about saving previous data), you can try uninstalling the Events module altogether, and then downloading and installing the latest version of the Events module.  This might clear things up a bit.  As always, make sure to backup your DNN Server before making any of these changes.

See Ya!

Hi Van.

Thank you for the background info.

In the meantime, I found out that there are also some changes in the workings of the Announcement module. I will just go back to 4.0.2 and wait for better times.

See you
Horia
