Trouble getting started

Any luck?

You are a guru. Thank you for your persistance and excellent customer service

Thanks, I appreciate the positive feedback and the chance to track down an elusive bug. ;)

It's working on your site now.

John,

I have installed ethuongmai enterprise forms. There is a button on each form that allows you to clear/reset the form. Since I installed pageblaster the form does not clear. Should I except enerprise forms in the exclusion list.

Thx  

John,

I get weird behavior..... I can fill out a form and click the submit button.  I get no indication that the form has been submitted, however when I log in as host admin I can see that a form was submitted and I get a copy of the email. When a form is submitted a notification should appear in red letters indicating that the form was submitted. The forms also have a reset button that allows a form to be cleared/resetm that does not work.

This is the entry that I have made in the PageBlaster config file.

<      path pattern="(DesktopModules(?!/Snapsis/PageBlaster|NMH-EntForms)|/admin/|/host/|LinkClick|SiteMap|rss|captcha|install|thumb|\.ashx|\.asmx)" excludeFrom="All"      />

I am not sure what else I can do other than exclude the pages that contain forms. However that eliminates the performance gains that I get from PB.  That is a total of 6 pages including my home page

Thx

There is a form on the home page. That will work fine

Ok, that form is posting back, but it is using Ajax which is why you don't see the post.
There is a visual indicator that something is happening on the top left of the page.

The response is not being cached, but it is returning a zero length content.

It appears that it is posting back to the default page with only a single querystring item :

POST /Default.aspx?Anthem_CallBack=true

You may be able to correct the problem by turning off Ajax in the Host > Host Settings page since it may be that this forms module does it's own Ajax.

One thing to keep in mind is that if you post back to a page like this form does it will automatically clear the server-side PageBlaster cache so it is not a good idea to have a form like this on your home page unless you expect that it will not be used that often.  Another idea would be to put a list of links to different forms on the home page and have the user go to a different page to submit info.

I'm not sure why the content length from the response was zero and why the Form didn't update with a response, but the page is not being cached by PageBlaster.

If you ask the developer of that forms module he may have a better answer, and I think he also uses PageBlaster so he may know immediately the best way to set it up.

You have come through yet again. Thx for all your help

John,

This is their response

"Until we could get full compatibility with the products, the best way to ensure that you could use Enterprise Forms and PageBlaster in your portal  is to configure PageBlaster such that it does not cache (or ignore) pages containing Enterprise Forms modules.  I understand that PageBlaster has this capability. "

Well I have now added a PB module to each page that I plan to exclude from caching to overide the global settings. I set the exclude path to the page name ( my page names have all been rewritten by DNN Masters SEO) and disabled compression. Is this correct? I hope I did this correct with regard to the exclude path. Should the exclude format be tabid=## or can I now use the page name as rewriiten by DNN Master SEO? It appears cache is not being created for pages with forms on them. BTW are their issues using google adsense?Once again thanks for everything

Here is something off their home page regarding compression and DNN4.5.3 and a previous version of their application. Should this apply to PB as well?

If you are using Enterprise Forms 3.3+ with DotNetNuke 4.5.3 with Compression turned on, ensure that the follollwing value is added to the Excluded Paths field located in Host Menu --> Adveanced Settings --> Compression Settings

anthem_callback

When you are excluding on an individual page then you can just exclude everything by using the dot-star pattern (.*)

If there is something specific querystring tat you wanted to exclude then you could use that as a pattern.

In this case I think you could solve this across the site by using the Anthem_Callback patern in the global config:

<      path pattern="(Anthem_Callback|DesktopModules(?!/Snapsis)|/admin/|/host/|LinkClick|SiteMap|rss|captcha|install|thumb|\.ashx|\.asmx)" excludeFrom="All"      />

John,

I am thinking of purchasing your CSS Menu. Is it easy to install? Will it work/integrate with my existing skin without problems?
