Hi all, i'm trying to test the latest DMX release 5.3.2 on a clean DNN 5.5.1 install. My server is a Windows Server 2003 with SP2. DMX is installing without issues, but when inserting the module on a blank page, it looks very weird. Examining the problem in Firebug shows that the module.css is not loaded, because the request looks like this: http://mydomain/DesktopMo...ind%5CDMX/module.css It contains a backslash instead of a slash and IIS fails to server the file. When i manually replace the backslash with a slash it serves the file, so this is the only issue. Is there any IIS setting or DNN setting i'm missing? In the meantime, as a workaround, i copied the module.css contents into my portal stylesheet and so got the module to work. Any help is greatly appreciated. Cheers, Joe

Hi Joe, This is an error in DNN. I'll see what I can do about this but it's not certain we can actually solve this. The loading of the sheet is automatically done by DNN. Peter

Hi Peter, thanks for looking into this. I'm wondering why i only experience this "DNN-bug" with your DMX-module. Can it have something to do with the module title which also contains a backslash and looks exactly like the module part in the query string to module.css? Just my thoughts. Like your module anyway... :) Cheers, Joe

Hi Joe, That is because (1) this is a very old module already and (2) I was the first to use subfolders for modules. When DMX was first created the module name was the same as the folder. Luckily this has been improved over time. But I fought long to have it an established practice to have mod developers use subfolders (i.e. like in Windows under programs Manufacturer\Product). Changing the name of your module is unformtunately not possible. It'll break the upgrade chain. So I'm stuck with the name. This new move with the css naming is somewhat of a surprise. I have raised the issue and hope they'll fix it. Peter

DNN Corp has been notified on this issue and I believe they will take action on it. Peter
