I am getting this error trying to upload the gallery PA. Anyone else getting this ? I upgraded from 3.0.13 to 3.1.0

StartJob

Registering DesktopModule

Failure

ExceptionSystem.ArgumentNullException: Value cannot be null. Parameter name: type at System.Activator.CreateInstance(Type type, Boolean nonPublic) at DotNetNuke.Framework.Reflection.CreateObject(String TypeName, String CacheKey) at DotNetNuke.Modules.Admin.ResourceInstaller.PaDnnInstaller_V3.GetDesktopModuleSettings(DesktopModuleInfo objDesktopModule, PaFolder Folder) at DotNetNuke.Modules.Admin.ResourceInstaller.PaDnnInstallerBase.RegisterModules(PaFolder Folder, ArrayList Modules, ArrayList Controls) at DotNetNuke.Modules.Admin.ResourceInstaller.PaDnnInstallerBase.Install(PaFolderCollection folders) at DotNetNuke.Modules.Admin.ResourceInstaller.PaInstaller.Install()

I had the same results, both on an upgrade aswell as a new installation. I have posted the error on the DotNetNuke Community Gallery forum

Ok,
I guess  I am not alone then.

Thanks for the info

Would it be possible to get a Core Team member to either confirm or deny that the Core Module projects (Gallery/Forum) do not work in the 3.1 build? Was this documented in the release notes?

I saw something to this effect in the project forum, however, I think it would be pertainent information to post here.

they did confirm it...   both were supposed to be released with 3.1  ..   neither has been released?   Why is the question?  I guess they can say they were betas.   Supposedly they were ready to be released...  but ..

The problem with gallery 3.0.10 not installing in dnn 3.1 is due to a wrong .dnn file in the zipfile (businesscontrollerclass)

Until there is new a release you can replace the line with the businesscontrollerclass with this one :

<businesscontrollerclass>DotNetNuke.Modules.Gallery.Controller, DotNetNuke.Modules.Gallery</businesscontrollerclass>

Make sure you change the .dnn file WITHIN the zip file, not the one in the gallery directory as that one gets overwritten with the file from the zipfile of course)!

Thank you Geert

That worked perfect ! Now I can upgrade all the modules on my DNN 3.0.12 to 3.1.0

Great  !

Geert

Many of us made those changes without problems, but, it isn't possible to create a new version +1 with changes includes for new people downloading it?

Thanks and regards

If it were up to me I would say yes, but it really is up to the Gallery sub-project team. They decide whenever a new version of the sub-project is to be made available (This will be the case for any sub-project).

I suggest posing your question in the dedicated forum for the Gallery sub-project on the dnn.com site.

I hope don't cause any waves with this, but for the sanity of the common dnn layman, I've made the change and provided the download here: http://www.dotnetnukerocks.com/Downloads/ModuleDownloads/tabid/1896/Default.aspx

Someone fix the file and put it in the DNN Downloads page for the subproject (where everyone is already downloading the broken module). Or, if it is "the subproject team's responsibility" and they have a disfunctional download, TAKE IT OFF the DNN main site.  It looks really bad for DotNetNuke.

My $.02

I vote Geert to be the one to put on the ninja suit and sneak into the server room and make the change. No one will ever know!

Problem solved. Thank you for causing waves.
