HAP - v7.10 - MyFiles Error

[J_Worth]

Hello,

We have just recently upgraded to HAP v7.10 and whilst everything is working well, whenever we try to use the new myfiles we get the following error:

Server Error in '/HAP' Application.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.

Exception Details: System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

Source Error:

The source code that generated this unhandled exception can only be shown when compiled in debug mode. To enable this, please follow one of the below steps, then request the URL:

1. Add a "Debug=true" directive at the top of the file that generated the error. Example:

<%@ Page Language="C#" Debug="true" %>

or:

2) Add the following section to the configuration file of your application:

<configuration>
<system.web>
<compilation debug="true"/>
</system.web>
</configuration>

Note that this second technique will cause all files within a given application to be compiled in debug mode. The first technique will cause only that particular file to be compiled in debug mode.

Important: Running applications in debug mode does incur a memory/performance overhead. You should make sure that an application has debugging disabled before deploying into production scenario.

Any solutions to this will be gratefully received.

Thanks.

You need to update the Localized XML files located in the ~/app_localresources/en-gb/ folder, seems you don't have the latest version in that folder

Hello,

Thanks for your quick response. However, I am not sure how I go about updating these - do I manually do it or can the updated ones be downloaded from hap.codeplex.com?

Thanks again,

Jonathan.

[nickbro]

Download the full version from codeplex, and extract the app_localresources folder

Ok, very odd, attached is the xml file you need

[W32/Jbot]

Ok, so i took the files in the zip and pasted them into inetpub\wwwroot\HAP\App_LocalResources\en-gb replacing the files that were there already.... I still get the error... I also tried rebooting the HAP box :/

[W32/Jbot]

So is there a way to turn the my files feature off if it isnt going to work here correctly? It is just confusing matters for staff here...

[nickbro]

Can you confirm that this exists in the ~/App_LocalResources/en-gb/strings.xml file:

<homeaccessplus>Home Access Plus+</homeaccessplus>

If it doesn't add it to the top of the file

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<hapStrings>
  <homeaccessplus>Home Access Plus+</homeaccessplus>

[nickbro]

To disable my files, easiest way is to remove the my files link on the HAP+ homepage

[W32/Jbot]

Thanks Nick, that line does already exist in the strings.xml. When i said Disable the feature i didnt mean disable access to files altogther, I just meant disable the My files Beta as enhanced and basic file access both seemed to work ok.

We are still having issues with the MyFiles of HAP 7.10 - the error is as below:

Yes, I have also seen issues with MyFiles Beta - first of all it confuses people as it comes right up looking like unwanted pop-up on your screen, and it has bugs that still need resolving (as seen from this post etc). So how to remove it quickly please?

[nickbro]

It doesn't have any bugs, I've not seen any posts about a problem with My Files v8 Preview.

If you still want to use mycomputer and want to stop the popup, you will need to do some editting of the mycomputer.aspx page. There's some jquery code that displays the message. I can't give you line numbers as my install doesn't have mycomputer any more (I'm on the v8 alpha trunk)
