DotNetNuke(cont.)

I have gotten comfortable finally in the new DNN environment. I have applied a skin to our page and gotten everything working correctly. The reason it wasnt working before is because in the web.config of the DNN site, the security settings had been defaulted to microsofts security, which had been hindering our WFC Service to create a new account. Once that was fixed on the main site, I moved on to the new site where I had a null reference error. Turns out I just needed to change the name of the module. This week I will be working on generating reports and storing information to the DB.

More Dot Net Nuke

I have been asked to make another DotNetNuke site for the company. I have gotten kinda used to the environment on the old site, but for some reason the environment on this one is a little different so it has taken sometime getting used to once again. During this process I have figured out a bug in one of the modules we used. It seems that when a customer buys the product, it is not registering them correctly in the web app. Now we have other ways of making users so its not a huge deal, but I can't seem to figure out why this module is not working. I have tested about a million times to no avail. One thing I definitely hate bout dotnetnuke is that I cant debug anything in their environment, Im sure if I had that capability, I could figure out this problem in a flash, instead Im trying to figure out how to export my site to visual studio and somehow getting debugging going in that envirnment. Once again DNN turns out to be a pain in the ass.

Keeeping it all together....

Awhile back, I added some help popup functionality to a hand full of our pages. Nothing too fancy, when you hovered over the image a div would appear next to it with information about the section you were in. At the time I just added the code to the top of each page as I was going through it. This obviously wasn't the best way to implement the functionalaty since we have a Common Functions js file on almost all of pages. So I finally got around to taking out all that old code.

I also have been hard at work on another Importing feature for our app. This will end up saving alot of work in the long run. It is able to import CSV files and create objects our app will use instead of a person hand typing them in through the app.

SSL certificate errors...

We recently added a new control/page to our app. Its nothing special, the code is less than 130 lines. But we have encountered a problem with our SSL certificate when trying to access it. Whenever we open it, it warns us that some of the content wasn't delivered through https. Now I opened up httpwatch(https://www.httpwatch.com/download/) a nice little problem to record how packets are being sent and it looks like everything was being sent through https. Now I tried opening the same page up in firefox and no error. We havent figured it out yet, but im willing to be it is a bug with IE.
