The DNN 4.3.1 Patch set is out - Installed cleanly, fixes cacheing for the documents module, but still an issue with filtering by column (there is a work around).
New DNN 4.3.1 Release and Documents Module
The DNN team is responding to issues quickly, on the forums and with updated releases. A new 4.3.1 release candidate is out. It fixes the new documents module cache problem. There is a still an issue with the filtering of column, but a work around had been posted.

Anthony Glenwright posted the following Fix
The problem is caused by selecting the "download link" column as visible, but having one or more "invisible" columns before it in the list.  So if you use the up arrow to move the download link column so that there aren't any invisible columns before it, the problem will not occur.

There is also a fix for slow DNN Logins

Many people have commented that the dotnetnuke.com site is a little slower with the recent upgrade to 4.3.1 (especially for Login).

If your site has a lot of users, you are probably getting the same "poor" performance.  (Note - the problem is not confined to 4.3.1 - it will also be a problem with 3.3.1, as it is due to one of the new User features).

However, there is a simple solution, and here it is.

1. Log in as admin or host
2. Go to the "User Accounts" module (on the Admin menu).
3. Select the "User Settings" module action
4. Click Update to save the Settings.

Savvy users will have by now figured out the problem - The User Settings, which are implemented as Module Settings in the Database do not exist (are null).  Loading the User Settings page loads the default values and clicking "Update" persists them to the database.

About Me

Thanks for stopping by. My name is Jim Bonnie and I have been writing software for over 20 years. After building financial data systems for Reuters for nearly 18 years I have started doing contract work and am excited about technology and currently focus on Microsoft solutions. DotNetNuke has helped provide a good introduction to ASP.NET web application development, and I am now starting to branch out into other areas. Data Access techniques and SubSonic is something that I am looking into now. This has helped me get an invitation to speak at Las Vegas at DNN Open Force 07. it was a great time. And I am looking forward to OpenForce08, where I wil be presenting on TDD for DNN.

 

Reading the codebetter blogs and attending a nothing but .net training class with JP Boodhoo helped spark my interest in ALT.NET. I attended the first conference in Austin Texas, and it was amazing to see Scott Guthrie introduce the ASP.NET MVC framework.
