Absolute paths in module manifest (.dnn file) 

Hi there,

I just created a DNN module for displaying, grading, and administering multiple choice quizzes.

I then use DNN 4.8.2's ability to create a module package to create a .zip file with my module.  I noticed in the manifest that it created, it has absolute paths in many places.  For instance:

        <file>
          <path>D:\dev\DnnDevelopment\DesktopModules\Hslda\Quiz</path>
          <name>EditQuestion.ascx</name>
        </file>

 

Is that correct?  Should that path be relative, something like this?

        <file>
          <path>DesktopModules\Hslda\Quiz</path>
          <name>EditQuestion.ascx</name>
        </file>

The "DNN4 Module Developers Guide" doesn't use absolute paths when it shows the Survey.dnn file.

Re: Absolute paths in module manifest (.dnn file) 

That definitely isn't right.  It doesn't make any sense to use an absolute path there.  I'd look through Gemini and add that as a bug if it's not alreadty.

Hope it helps,

Re: Absolute paths in module manifest (.dnn file) 

I tried searching for issues by putting "dnn path" in the "Find Issues" textbox along the top of the screen, and then I hit "Find Issues".

After about 50 seconds, I got a page which said:

 

<form id="aspnetform" action="Error.aspx?aspxerrorpath=%2fIssues.aspx" method="post" name="aspnetform">

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Gemini Application Error

 

An application error has occured - please advise the Gemini administrator within your organization.

 

 

View error log

I tried this three times.  "View error log" just takes me back to the homepage, I assume because I don't have the proper credentials to view the log.
