Some links to remember and also a post to push the previous one down the page. The <pre&rt; tag isn’t being nice with the template I’m using and I don’t have time to fix it at the moment.

DNN fckStyles Error

Written by: hipsterdoofus at 1:20 pm in the Web Development category.

While experimenting with the wiki component in one of my portals today, I received an error when trying to add a post via the FCK editor, Could not load type 'DotNetNuke.HtmlEditor.FckHtmlEditorProvider.fckStyles'. More specifically:

After messing around with it for a while, I found a workable and easy solution on the DNN forums which amounted to “deleting the fck folder completly from the providers/htmleditorproviders folder and replacing it with the fck folder from the install package.”

Moments of Assessment

Written by: hipsterdoofus at 2:40 pm in the Web Development category.

I was just planning on doing a simple blog post. Unfortunately, I wanted to reference a previous post and made the discovery that in designing my blog layout, I didn’t account for a way to access past posts. A huge oversight, it seems - a rookie mistake. Which got me to thinking that I needed to make a quick fix to the blog to rectify the situation. Except that there’s no easy solution afforded by the Blogger (classic) template that I’m currently using. So instead of the simple post that I was planning on making, I’m writing this bitchy one to complain about Blogger and once again consider moving this whole damn thing over to WordPress. I am (supposed to be) a web developer after all.
