I am trying to get the blog module working in a dev environment as an example of a multi-page module.  I've got DNN5 running locally installed in VS2008 express and SQL Server 2008 express.

I used the host account to add the blog module, then created a page and added the module to it.  I noticed that the dropdown options menu for the blog summaries module appears in the upper left of the screen, not under the module.

Then I created my blog and made my first blog post.  Back at the summaries module, it displays my summary and a "Read More" link presumably to view the whole blog post.  I click the "Read More" link and get a page with this error:

XML Parsing Error: no element found
Location: http://localhost/DotNetNuke%20Website2/blogroot/tabid/55/EntryId/1/This-is-my-first-blog-post.aspx
Line Number 1, Column 1:

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks!

The XML error is in the browser window.  Tried in both IE7 and FF3.

And no worries about the action menu.  You gotta expect some tweaking to do when a new release of the core comes out.  I just mentioned in case it was some weirdness no one else was seeing.

I've just reproduced something else twice that I don't know if it will help, but if I build the project a second time (Cntrl-F5 in VS2008) after installing the blog module (and getting the above error when I click the Read More link), it no longer builds.  Seems it can no longer load the FCK editor provider.  I get the following build errors:

Error    1    Could not load type 'DotNetNuke.HtmlEditor.FckHtmlEditorProvider.fckimagegallery'.    C:\Users\Alden\Documents\Visual Studio 2008\WebSites\DotNetNuke Website2\Providers\HtmlEditorProviders\Fck\fckimagegallery.aspx    1

If I create a new DNN web site with a fresh install, it builds fine until I add the blog module, then won't build after that.  I will experiment to see if this happens if I add any module with my host account.

Thanks a lot for your help.  I'm sure that once I get this blog module running and can step through the source code, it will teach me everything I need to know about building modules like this.  First step is to just getting it running!

Hi Dario,

Where do you fix this? Where do you make this change?
