DNN 9.2.2 to ASPNET5 Started By Victor van der Hulst My hosting provider is going to upgrade their windows platform and require all users to upgrade their web apps to ASPNET 5. I'm running a DNN 09.02.02 website on ASP.NET 4.6. Cannot find whether this DNN site can be easily updated to ASPNET 5. Hopefully, any of you can give me some advise. Besides NewsArticles no specific extension are currently in use. Regards, Victor	5	790	2	8/17/2023 2:58 PM by Victor van der Hulst
DDR Menu causing very slow page load time after DNN 9.12 upgrade Started By Justin C I recently upgraded a DNN Platform 6.2.3 site, following the suggested upgrade path all the way to 9.12.0. I believe it was with 7.4.2 or 8.0.4 I noticed very slow page load time but decided to continue the upgrade path to the end to then diagnose the issue. After a lot of investigation I confirmed it is due to the DDR menu provider, and if I removed the skin object (both the register tag at the top and calling it down in the skin) the page load time returned to essentially instantaneous. ...	6	1036	2	7/21/2023 7:35 AM by Justin C
Upgrade to 09.11.01 - PersonaBar error Started By Sylvain Sanscartier FYI First, I know… I use an old SQL Server version (2012) and I plan an upgrade this year. If you upgrade your DNN Platform to the v9.11.1, you will have an error with the installation of the Dnn.PersonaBar.Extensions_09.11.1_Install. The cause: In the 09.11.01.SqlDataProvider file, the T-SQL scripts use a conditional drop for delete two existing stored procedures (AddIPFilter and UpdateIPFilter). The arguments IF EXIST applies to SQL Server 2016 and up. My solution: After the upgrad...	12	4448	5	2/22/2023 12:59 PM by Sylvain Sanscartier

9.11.0 causing .js issues Started By Hassa I downloaded 9.11.0 and noticed that non of my modules are working any longer. Upon further investigation I noticed that in versions 9.10 jequry.js script tag used to be in header and mymodules.js script tag used to be in body right before mygopage.js tag another. So everything was working correctly. But for some reason in 9.11.0 mymodule.js script tag is showing up under header. This is causing errors with mygoPage.js as it needs to be before mymodule.js. It looks like something was chang...	5	1777	2	2/24/2023 1:01 PM by Hassa
The DNN 09.11.01 upgrade will only complete on SQL 2016 and above Started By Timo Breumelhof. DYI, Today I tried ugrading a DNN 09.10.02 site to 09.11.01 on a server with SQL 2012 and it failed. There is a SQL script in the install package that can only run SQL 2016 SQL 2012 is old, but as DNN officially supports SQL 2008 I created a ticket for this: https://github.com/dnnsof...Platform/issues/5554 BTW, your site will still run after this, but I would still advise you to restore from backup and either wait for a fix or upgrade SQL server and try again.	3	1546	2	2/24/2023 9:35 AM by Timo Breumelhof.

Issue updating DNN to last version. Started By Paul Calderon I received an error with HTML module when upgrade DNN to version 9.11.0 from version 9.10.2. After DNN is upgraded just HTML module keep version 9.10.2 and stopped work. After some checking, trying to instal just HTML module, for some reason install is trying to run scripts from file 03.00.00.SqlDataProvider. and some stored procedures are deleted because those old scripts delete procedures to create again. It appears module have some reference in DB or some File that suggest to in...	5	2068	2	2/7/2023 8:18 PM by Paul Calderon
