Greetings,

I'm not completely new to DNN, but I have always relied on a help desk for any code issues or problems with module functionality. Now I'm running a site for which I have no continuity from the previous webmaster/developer, and I don't have the coding skills to decipher many problems I'm trying to solve. I have dozens of questions, but will start with this most pressing issue:

1. We use OpenForm and OpenContent to collect feedback from customers. Does anyone know where that data goes when they click submit? Is there not a way to have the submissions automatically emailed to someone? I can see the submissions in the module settings, but I have to manually cut and paste it and then email it. Not ideal.

2. Related to this, there is link inside the submissions settings that reads "download as Excel" but when I click it, nothing seems to happen. Here is the code for that button:
Download as Excel
I've looked at the server log, and it registers this error when I click that link:

WRN: Assembly binding logging is turned OFF.
To enable assembly bind failure logging, set the registry value [HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Fusion!EnableLog] (DWORD) to 1.
Note: There is some performance penalty associated with assembly bind failure logging.
To turn this feature off, remove the registry value [HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Fusion!EnableLog].

Thanks for any help you can provide, and as I mentioned, I will be adding more questions soon!

Matthew,

1. This could be helpful: https://openform.readme.io/docs/getting-started

2. I had the same problem once, and solved it by downloading the EPPlus project from https://github.com/JanKallman/EPPlus. I had to compile the project to get a dll, that I copied to the bin folder of the DNN site installation.

Hope that helps!

Happy DNNing!
Michael

Matthew,

better way: install Open Content as well, the assembly is included there. Or: Download the latest Open Content install package, extract it locally and copy the file EPPlus.dll into the bin folder of your web site.

Happy DNNing!
Michael
