 I just upgraded to dnn 6.0 and the cart page won't pull anything from the skin. The storefront works fine, but when you add something to your cart the page is just blank white. I thought the cart is on the same page as the buy now module. Any ideas? http://buzzsmarine.com/Storefront.aspx

I just viewed your store in ie9 and the buttons all look fine.  Here is a screen shot:

 

 

What version of ie are you using?   Do you have compatibility mode turned on?

Ok, this could get confusing because I have to sperate issues on two seperate sites. That's why I created two seperate posts. In my earlier post, the very last thing I mentioned that I had to roll back the website to dnn 5 because that site generates a lot of traffic. If you go to http://temp.nprailfest.com/shoponline.aspx you can see the button issue. I know the detail page is broken, but it's just a temp site. However, the regular storefront page shows my issue, hover over one of the product images and you'll see.

 

The issue with http://buzzsmarine.com/Storefront.aspx is when you add something to your cart, it has no skin, just a blank white page. I have verified this using the dotnetnuke skin as well as my custom skin. I'm guessing you haven't had a ton of extensive testing on dnn 6 with this so if I can be of any help, please just let me know.

Hi Michael,

In regards to your skin issue, this is actually a bug/limitation in dnn when you redirect to another user control using the NavigateURL function dnn applies the admin skin instead of the portal skin even though all the pages in the checkout are view controls and not edit controls dnn still applies the admin skin. The 2 functions dnn offers to navigate from one user control to another are naviageurl and editurl both of which change to the "edit" skin. We were hoping that dnn would address this in dnn 6 but they have not. When a module has multiple user controls like the cart the current solution in dnn is to use a master ascx with a placeholder control then swap user controls in an out at the user navigates from one user control to another, unfortunately this approach has a big con in that it doesnt maintain viewstate on the page which the cart uses.

You could set your portal and admin skin to the same skin if you want the same skin on the checkout pages.

Thanks,

I have them set, it's not pulling the admin skin, it's pulling no skin at all. As I said, I verified this with the built in dnn skins as well. see my screen shot here

Hi Michael,

I am sorry but I am not seeing the same results on our DNN6 test portal even with the default MinimalExtropy skin. Can you login to our test site and try to replicate the error. This will determine if the issue is with the latest version of the cart or an issue with your specific dnn portal/cart install. For login credentials please send me an email at kevin@smith-consulting.com.



Thanks,

I'm going to try updating my dnn to the latest version of 5 and then try upgrading. If that doesn't work, then I'll replicate the settings on your test portal if I need to. Can you email me credentials to login? I'm guessing the last one I have doesn't work anymore.

I tried upgrading everything and it's still not working. Can you email me login info to your dnn 6 test portal?

After almost murdering someone out of frustration, I figured out the problem. In my css I had #body{ css here...}. The issue was, it wasn't pulling the body background. I removed the # and that worked, but then the background image shows in the body of a text html module and makes your text tough to read. However, if you use #Body (capital b) then it works fine. I sure hope this helps someone else out.
