Version Information: Microsoft .NET Framework Version:4.0.30319; ASP.NET Version:4.0.30319.1

Pages worked before upgrade..

I custom coded it to set the readmore page..


<%@ Page
    Language="C#"
    AutoEventWireup="True"
    CodeBehind="/Code/BaseClasses/BasePage.cs"
    Inherits="TheScene.Web.BasePage"
    Theme="Scene"
    MasterPageFile="/MonoX/MasterPages/ThePittsburghSceneHeader.master"
%>
         
<%@ MasterType TypeName="MonoSoftware.MonoX.BaseMasterPage" %>  
 
<%@ Import Namespace="MonoSoftware.MonoX.Resources" %>
<%@ Register TagPrefix="MonoX" TagName="News" Src="/MonoX/ModuleGallery/News/MainNewsModule.ascx" %>
<%@ Register Assembly="MonoX" Namespace="MonoSoftware.MonoX" TagPrefix="portal" %>
 
<asp:Content ID="Content1" ContentPlaceHolderID="cp" runat="server">  
<div class="page_header"><h97>ThePittsburghScene.com - News</h97></div>  
<div class="page_box">    
    <portal:PortalWebPartZone HeaderText="Content zone" ID="contentPartZone" runat="server" Width="100%" ChromeTemplateFile="Standard.htm">
        <ZoneTemplate>
              <MonoX:News ID="News" runat="server" ShowRating="false" ReadMorePageUrl="/Pages/NewsReader.aspx" PagerPageSize="4"></MonoX:News>
        </ZoneTemplate>
    </portal:PortalWebPartZone>
</style>
</div>
</asp:Content>

Want to add to this..

when I use a blank page and drag the customizable news or main news part to the zone I get the following error..

System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
at MonoSoftware.Web.StringExtension.Append[T](String url, UrlParam`1 urlParam, T value)
at MonoSoftware.MonoX.RssEngine.RssEngine.#lj()
at MonoSoftware.MonoX.RssEngine.RssEngine.GenerateRss()
at MonoSoftware.MonoX.BasePage.#Gb()
at MonoSoftware.MonoX.BasePage.Render(HtmlTextWriter writer)
at System.Web.UI.Page.ProcessRequestMain(Boolean includeStagesBeforeAsyncPoint, Boolean includeStagesAfterAsyncPoint)

Pops up as a msg box in MonoX

I found in the webconfig.. if I set the <add key="MonoXRssIsTurnedOn" value="true" /> to <add key="MonoXRssIsTurnedOn" value="false" /> then news starts working.. I guess this goes back to my original issue with the RSS feed not working.. a well back..

Hi,

this isn't a best way to handle the issue you have (by turning the RSS feed off), I have take a look at the RSS code and I think I have found an issue you get. This happens only in scenarios when you don't have properly set Url for some RSS item, it is fixed in a new release that will be available later today (I suppose we will finish the QA tasks).

Regards
