Home Access Plus+

[sister_annex]

As much as I would love to help with the coding etc I am a VB coder and not too good with the web stuff yet so I'll just sit back and add comments where necessary. I do know there are some good coders on here so I'm sure you'll get some help.

 

I think I speak for everyone when I say well done on such a fantastic product and kudos for the amount of hardwrok you are putting in to accomodate everyones requests

I've just released v5.2 onto Home Access Plus+. This should remove the need to have HAP installed into the extranet folder. It'll also allow you to run multiple HAPs inside IIS.

Other chances include a major speed boost to the logon tracker. I found the way I was logging errors wasn't working, it was infact locking the application up. So I've removed this code. Still works though.

Most of this release has been the 1st point, but the booking system has had a bit of a look at, and some other stuff. Full details are in the change log

[nickbro]

In the v5.2 release, please read the release notes

Nick,

 

I have finally got roind to installing HAP+ (latest version as of today), have followed the instructions but a getting an error when tring to load the ajax stuff...

 

Parser Error 
Description: An error occurred during the parsing of a resource required to service this request. Please review the following specific parse error details and modify your source file appropriately. 

Parser Error Message: Could not load file or assembly 'System.Web.Ajax' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.

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].

 

Any ideas??

 

EDIT: Adding the system.web.ajax.dll.to the bin folder fixes the issue - not sure if it should be there or whether I have missed some thing from my install as the release notes say to delete it (and it is not there as part of the a fresh download of v5.2) - Also, now working it keeps asking for a username and password (~5times) before letting me access files etc - again I may have missed something but thought I'd ask just in case

 

Cheers Nick

Additional Info

[nickbro]

Open all of the web.config files, look for xxx Easylink. Change this to a AD group that has permissions.

 

I removed the system.web.ajax.dll because it wasn't needed anymore, or so I thought. It's not needed for me.

[nickbro]

Ok, I've fixed that problem, reuploaded it to codeplex, it's not v5.2.1, just to get the 40 downloaders to redownload it. System.Web.Ajax isn't used anymore, it's not supported in .net 4 (since the stuff in it is inbuilt into asp.net 4, or via the ASP.net AJAX Toolkit DLL)

Download it now from Home Access Plus+

[sister_annex]

Thanks nick

 

Irony is that i'm on annual leave now for the next two weeks so wont be able to do anything with it until i return from my holiday haha

 

Cheers again

You should implement a microsoft remote desktop gateway server. That's how I'm doing all of these changes from home. It means RDP traffic is encrypted over https, gets around the LEA

[sister_annex]

Could be interesting from the middle of the Canary Islands lol - either way I have a VPN connection to the network anyway that i may us if i can be bothered

::blink & you'll miss a few versions:: Have just grabbed the latest rel., new web.config etc. and hit a few glitches:

 

- I managed to upset the Silverlight new folder functionality. In a hurry I haven't managed to figured out a consistent set of steps for any of this, but when making a new folder and changing the offered name (e.g. "New Folder") I've had

 

a) It work.

b) An exception (from System.IO.[whatever].MoveTo).

c) A message saying " sorry... can not be moved..".

d) It appear to let me create and rename a folder to the same name as one at the same level e.g. at one point I had two folders called "x" displaying in the right hand pane, although after an F5 refresh there was only one.

 

- I can't get the Basic Version HTML Uploader to upload files. The very same files do upload OK via drag & drop.

 

I then tried building the source which worked fine but rounding up the refs again there are two (harmless) redundant ones in HAP.Web. Didn't note them properly before nuking, but IIRC it was ms office core and the old silverlight.

[nickbro]

That's for that. The Silverlight version is still being made better, but it's very difficult to fully test everything, with all the combo's you can have.

 

I don't know why the basic html uploader wasn't working, it should do, it uses the same backend code. But i'll take another look.

 

The MS Office Core is the HTML Previews of xls(x) and docx documents (I forget which, I think docx). The silverlight uploader is still there.

Hi All

 

I have recently installed and testing home access plus but have ran into a few problems when users try to upload files under the basic option.

 

As a sysadmin i can use the html uploader fine but the drag and drop option under the basic version fails. This comes up with a silverlight page error. Although the drag and drop option in rthe enhanced version works fine.

 

As a non admin (pupil or staff) they can upload fine using the enhanced version but when using the basic version neither the html uploader or drag and drop work.

When they use the html uploader, once they have browsed for a file and then selected upload and close, the browser flashes, takes them back to there home folder but the file isnt there.

When they try and use the drag and drop under the basic version they can the same error as a sysadmin (says cheking file, with a page error referring to silverlight)

 

Can anybody shed any light on this please?

 

Thanks

Alan

Should be fixed in v5.2.4 which I've just released

[nickbro]

I'll have to check the basic silverlight uploader is actually getting the updated URL, your using homeaccess instead of extranet as the folder

[nickbro]

ok, this is a strange one

[keninski]

ok, this is a strange one

 

lol i set the folder as homeaccess as i understood this could be named anything

 

Thanks for your continued help with this one

[Edu-IT]

I've fixed that.

 

Just noticed that users can rename "My Documents" and other drives, although it flags an error, can we remove the option?

[keninski]

sorry to be a pain, i have found another bug that might want looking at.

 

when you rename a file under the enhanced version it adds the file extension to end of the file making it have it twice. This then does not allow the file to be opned as home access plus does not see it.

 

So for example if i want to rename a word document called test to test 1. All looks well in home access plus but if you go to my computer to check the file, it has actually been renamed to test 1.doc.doc

 

This then results in the file not being found when i user trys to open it in future.

 

Can you cast your spell over this one please?

I'll have a look at the weekend. I have to admit that I don't understand why it's doing this. I works fine for me. The renaming a drive I'll look into, you shouldn't be able to do it.

[nickbro]

lol i set the folder as homeaccess as i understood this could be named anything

 

Thanks for your continued help with this one

 

It shouldn't make a difference, it should work in any folder, I've removed all hardcoded references to /extranet/

[nickbro]

Ok, I can confirm there are bugs with the rename. 5.2.6 will be out later today. It removes the rename a drive. and will hopefully fix the rename bug

[flaviorodrigues]

and about problems that i posted?
