Version 3.0 Beta Test FeedBack

Hi John, first of all thanks for all efforts to improve pb.
I would like to report a minor issue with Snapsis.DNN.PageBlaster_03.01.00_Install.zip (downloaded it from email announcement)

I installed a previous built on local dnn install and newest built to production test site. And i noticed that Admin > Page Blaster > Portal Rules > adding a new rule does not work correctly.

I created a rule but search for and replace to fields are clearing itself automatically after clicking save button.

This is working correclty with previous build, would you please investigate?

Jhom, as you may know I use ListX to drive several functions on my site. I didn't seem to have any bad ListX vs PageBlaster interactions --- until this week.  ListX and its Ajax search to populate the grid works great.  When I went to export the grid to Excel I got a blank spreadsheet.  I never even gave PB a though as it causeing the problem. I spent hours troubleshooting.  Finally I had a brain fart and tried disabling PB on that page. Now all is well.  Your stuff is working so well now that I really have to think that it still may be the cause of a problem.

What is really interesting is that when I tried to figure out if it was a JavaScript issues or a Caching & Compression issues, it works as long as I have any single thing disabled.  Since this is a page that I only use occassionally to generate mailing lists I'm just diabling PB on the page.

Hi John,

I have a problem with PB 3.01.01 and (I think) a JavaScript Lightbox-script that I use on my site: http://www.huddletogether.com/projects/lightbox2/#overview

When loading the page I get the following error in FireBug and the script doesn't work:

uncaught exception: script.aculo.us requires the Prototype JavaScript framework >= 1.4.0, Line 0

There's no problem without PB installed.

Any idea what's wrong?

I haven't been doing any testing for a few days while I switched my company to Quickbooks.  Very much like getting a root canel.

I just re-cloned the production site to dsnow2.dnsalias.com/asi3 and installed PB 3.1.1 . It installed ok, but the most important page on the site Listed Homes which uses ListX and has PB exclude ".* from ALL" no longer works and Firebug reports 2 errors on the page which it doesn't on the production site.  I have other very similar pages that are only visable when logged in and they appear to work ok. There only difference is that these have more search criterial that is only usefule to me, and information that I don't wsnt to share with the world. They do however use the same scripts and methodolody on the same tables.

If I disable PB in web.config all is well.

Why is it that exclude .* from all  isn't excluding?  What further infor do you need from me John?

/DaveS

Fails the same with either IE or FF. Flushing cache everywhere I can doesn't seem to make a difference.

It also happens on localhost/asi3 and dsnow2.dnsalias.com/asi3  which are different caches.

Looking at the source code for the page in the browser I don't see miniy'ing or concat'ing going on.  Yet commenting out PB in web.config fixes all.

I'll try facing Redmond, kneeling, and saying nice things while I reboot Vista/IIS7 next.

/DaveS

 Rebooting, which I needed to do for other reasons, didn't help.

PS John you can see the differences in the bottom module between

http://dsnow2.dnsalias.com/asi3/ListedHomes/tabid/58/Default.aspx    This is a clone of the production site for testing. and

http://www.agingsafely.com/ListedHomes/tabid/58/Default.aspx  which is the production site. What is different is that the bottom module isn't executing its Ajax code to populate the grind on the clone.

If you want access to my clone, a copy of the database etc. just email me and I'll set tomthing up.

Why wouldn't enclude ".*" from ALL do the same as excludeFrom="All"
path pattern="(ListX|\.asmx|\.ashx|rss|install|thumb|wizard|cart)" excludeFrom="All"  ? 

Is you all bigger than mine ;=}

For right now I think I'll leave the production alone and just thry the exlude on the clone

/Dave

The excludeFrom="All" path pattern="(ListX|\.asmx|\.ashx|rss|install|thumb|wizard|cart)" excludeFrom="All" doesn't do it, so I guess neither of us have an effective exclude all.

BTE I nitice that my current one has more items

 path pattern="(ListX|ScriptResource\.axd|\.ashx|LinkClick|rss|fck|admin|install|thumb|wizard|cart|\.asmx)" excludeFrom="All"  what is you current list supposed to be?

/DaveS

Figured it out when I woke up in the middle of the night....

My PB.config had a rule for ListX  (extra spaced add near < and > for Active Forum)

              < searchFor >< ![CDATA[(< /head >.*?)(< script[^ > ]+xListing\.js[^ >]+([^ < ]*< /script >)?)]] >< /searchFor >
               < replaceWith > $2$1 < /replaceWith >

When I commented out that rule all was better  AS LONG as ListX is still excluded in the rule

Hi John

I just installed the file you sent and it killed my DNN. When I go to the homepage I now get this error message and the site wont come up.
