Scott,
Do you use and custom attributes? Or addons?
Peter

Hi Peter,

   No, we haven't ventured that far yet.  We have a standard installation with a very limited number of collections and files.  Essentially, we are still testing and exploring the basic product to ensure that it will meet our needs before going live.

   Thanks.

Scott

Scott,
I'm left guessing here. I've never seen this error. It complains something is wrong in the CustomFieldsControl. If you've installed DMX like a regular module this is next to impossible also given the fact you have no custom fields (i.e. custom attributes). I have a couple of suggestions:
1. re-install DMX over the current one
2. A complete new DNN/DMX installation
Make sure to use the latest available version (03.04.01 right now).
Peter

I am getting the same error...except there are actually two logs that go with it. I need some serious help since this is in my production site...thanks

Here they are...

I think I can reproduce the steps that are causing this error (I'll add a bug too).

1. Log in as an administrator (i'm using the super user account)
2. Turn on the preview functionality (to where you can't see the skin's content panels)
3. Try to add a folder to the root collection
   

John,
That is understandable. The preview mode puts the modules into non-editable, while the login remains. It is not meant to work with, but rather to see what happens if you've changed something. Your procedure is not how the functionality is intended.

Scott,
On my own environment I can upload/add stuff to an open collection as anonymous user. Version is DMX 03.04.06 on a DNN 03.03 platform.

Peter

Was there ever an answer found to this problem. I've got just the normal install for the dmx. I am now on 3.04.07 installed.

I can reproduce the error. I have my root collection set to all users can view and all users can edit. The collections underneath the root have a more limited access so that only certain groups can view and edit the groups. I then change my root collection to only allow all users to view but not to edit. At this point if I log in as an administrator I can traverse to lower level collection and add files. But if I log in as a normal user who only has access to view the top level collection and traverse to a lower level collection where this user should have rights to add a file, I see all the icons to add a file. When I click on the file I get object not set to an instance and event logs below.

I do not have any custom fields or attributes. Just a standard basic install.

Tiphanie,

I cannot reproduce this. I followed your scenario and was able to happily add files. What I could reproduce was the 'preview' error mentioned above, but you didn't touch the preview button didn't you?

To recap what I did:
1. On a fresh installation DNN 04.03.05/DMX 03.04.07 I instantiated DMX which I will call DMX 1. I then proceeded to create a collection (A) 'open collection' which has view & edit for 'all users'.
2. I create a second DMX instance on another page which I'll call DMX 2. I set the root to collection A. This now, effectively allows all users to add content to the root of DMX 2.
3. I create a collection in DMX 2 (so under collection A) called collection B. View: registered users, Edit: Editors. This is now not visible to unauthenticated users.
4. I go back to DMX 1 and change the permissions on collection A to be view only for All Users.
5. I log in as editor, go to DMX 2, then collection B, and add a document.
