Hello,

I have got a serious problem when adding a DMX module to a page.

My versions are 06.02.01 for DNN and 6.0.4 for DMX.

The problem is that when I add a dmx module to a page even without specific configuration, the page becomes "inaccessible" for everyone except the host.

I precise that the page remains visible in the menu but when the user clicks on the link the defaut page (home) is reloaded. If I delete the DMX module, the page becomes accessible as usual.

I precise also that I don't have this problem on the first portal of my instance but for the second one and that I have imported it from my integration.

Do you have an idea ?

Thanks a lot for your help,

Nicolas

Hi Nicolas,

It sounds like there is some conflict with the skin or another item. You must look for a conflict at the level of javascript IMO. DMX relies on jaavscript to do some of the UI magic in the Ajax UI.

Hi Peter,

I have found out the problem ! Actually the problem comes from the rights of the folders in DMX.

For example if an user hasn't got the rights on the folders which should be shown in a DMX module, the entire page becomes inaccessible... My DMX module was configured to one folder only, I don't know the behavior if the module show several folders and that the rights aren't configured on only one of them.

Nevertheless it's quite annoying for my portal philosophy because I often use partial visibility depending on users' profile. I assume that if the user hasn't got the rights, he won't see the folder or even the module but the page will still be available.

Do you confirm this as a bug ?

Thanks a lot for your feedback,

Nicolas

Hi Nicolas,

The module was not designed so you could set the root module folder of a module to a folder that user has no access to. Instead, you'd set it to a higher folder to which the user has access or use the root folder pattern if you want "personal folders". If not: how would you suggest the module renders? It is like trying to access a folder in Windows Explorer to which you have no access. In Windows you get a big error if you try that.

Hi Peter,

Ok I understand. Last question: If I have 1 parent folder and 2 subfolders, one with the rights forthe user and one without the rights.
The way you manage not to show this second folder in the DMX module isn't the same logic as not to show the root folder ?

Nevertheless I have found a trick for my portal. I don't give the rights in the View Permissions of the DMX module directly.

Thanks for your time Peter,

Nicolas

Hi Nicolas,

Keep this in mind: the user *never* sees something to which he/she does not have view rights.
