My ultimate goal is to "migrate" an existing DNN site, on a very old version of DNN, to a bang up to date version, I've tried upgrading which has hit some snags and also some 3rd party modules would also need upgrading so many $$$s

The site, I am pleased to say is very simple; multiple pages, but fortunately 1 html module per page. The complex pages are few and a bit of manual work is not insurmountable.

Now here is the issue

  1. 1. I can see the content of the HTML modules by looking at the HTMLText table
  2. 2. I can "edit" the content in the HTMLText table
  3. 3. I can view the site but the content displayed is still the original text
  4. 4. If I login as Host / Admin and "clear the cache" or "Reboot the application" the original text is still display.
  5. 5. Here is the real quirk, if I go to edit the text in the page editor I am presented with the new content i.e. what I entered through the database (Access or SQL Server Manager)
  6. 6. If I now save the text then I do get the new text.
  7. 7. Checking the HTMLText table now has a new "version" entry


My feeling is that there must be a secondary table that holds a "current" version and therefore the site is not building the user view from the HTMLtext entry

Does anyone know either whether this theory is correct or that their is some field in a table that needs to be reset

Thanks


Dave

Hi Dave,

In my opinion the best course of action here is to determine what is wrong with the upgrade, not necessarily to find out which tables hold what.

I don't recall coming across your specific scenario, but I have done a lot of upgrades, even from very old DNN versions (like from DNN 3 to DNN 7) .

Usually in those cases I need to go to Host/HTML Editor manager and change the provider to "DotNetNuke.RadEditorProvider". It may have nothing to do with your problem, but I think it is worth a try.

Let me know.

Cheers,

Aderson
