CMSDesk -- all labels/links in menus disappeared!!
HELP!!
Suddenly all the labels/links that should be in the menus in CMSDesk have disappeared!! All the graphics are there, but there are no labels in the tabs at the top, on what should be the "My Desk" tab, I can see the graphics in the left nav bar, but there are no labels or links. I can see all the documents listed in the right window, but the column headings aren't there.
I can click on a recent document, which takes me to the Content tab, and from there I can see the site tree in the left nav and the page in the right window, all the icons are in the top menu, but there are no labels with them. If I select a document in the tree and click on the Edit icon, there are no entries in the "Type:" drop-down, and the labels that should be in the shaded area are missing (the ones in the white area are there).
I've been working with this project for a few days, and have created quite a few pages ok. The only change I've made since I was last using CMS Desk was to add a breadcrumbs control to the Master page. I've deleted the breadcrumbs control, but this hasn't fixed it (not sure whether this caused it anyway). I've also replaced the Kentico-CMS-CMSDesk.resx file from another project where CMS Desk is running ok, but no change.
What has happened?
Regards,
Sharon.

Re: CMSDesk -- all labels/links in menus disappeared!!
Hi again,
I'm a bit "locked" until I can figure out what has happened here, because I can't register any new templates or user controls, or create new pages, so can't debug any of the dev work I'm doing.
I've tried replacing the complete cms_resources and cmsdesk folders from a new install of the sample Corporate Solution site that I tested to make sure CMS Desk is running properly, but it has made no difference.
The only thing I can think of that is different in this project is that I've used 3 different Master pages. I haven't used Master pages before, so perhaps I should be using only 1. But the project builds without errors, and it displays the web ok, but I can't actually create pages from templates that I've based on the extra two Master pages, because I can't register any of them yet!!
????
Regards,
Sharon.

Re: CMSDesk -- all labels/links in menus disappeared!!
I don't understand what happened here, but I have got myself going again by recreating the project from scratch, importing everything from the original project, and selecting to use the existing database, and not create the CMS tables.
I would still like to know what caused it, though, so I don't do it again!!
Regards,
Sharon

Re: CMSDesk -- all labels/links in menus disappeared!! -- Happened Again!!
It has happened again!!!
I think I've targetted what caused it, but still frustrated about what is happening ...
I copied a control from one aspx page (in design view) to another, then flipped to the html view and copied the <%@ Register TagPrefix...%> from the first file to the second. I clicked the Save button, and then almost immediately hit CTRL-SHIFT-B on the keyboard (to Build). Then I got a dialog prompt from VS about whether I wanted to replace "bin/Kentico.CMS.whatever.dll". I selected "No", then the next one came up so selected "No to all", then tried to go to CMS Desk from the web running on localhost.
Wham -- I've lost all the labels/links again -- even on the login page this time!!!
Then I remembered that this had happened to me previously (in the old project).
Have had a look in the bin folder, and there are some strange things happening to the dll's. The following dll's have been modified from those in a default installation:
CMS.IDataConnectionLibrary
DirectoryUtilities
LicenseProvider
CMS.DataEngine
CMS.EventLog
Commerce
ResourceManager
CMS.TreeEngine
CMS.skmMenuControl
FCKeditorV2
CMS.ContentEngine
CMS.CMSControls
In a fresh empty project created with the web-installer all these dll's have a date of 16/03/2006 10:19 AM, and versions build number of 2266.
But in my newly corrupted project, they have a date of 1/02/2006 8:03 AM, and version build numbers of 2223!!! There is also an additional file -- Kentico.CMS.CMSControls.dll.refresh, 1kb, dated 3/04/2006 5:23 AM (the time that it happened). Looking back at my previously corrupted project (that I kept a backup of), the same thing has happened to the dll's.
I've deleted the *.dll.refresh file, and replaced all the dll's from the fresh empty project that I created to check dll versions, and everything is fine now.
BUT --- has anyone got any ideas about what caused this? I "think" that it was caused when I copied a control from one aspx page to another, but I'm not sure.
Regards,
Sharon.

Re: CMSDesk -- all labels/links in menus disappeared!! -- Happened Again!!
The set of dll's that I listed previously is getting corrupted every time I drag a CMS control from the toolbox onto the design of the page. As soon as I drag the control from the toolbox, I get the VS2005 prompt about replacing, so this time I selected "Yes", but once again all the dll's are modified, and labels/links for CMSDesk become unavailable again.
I replace the dll's with those from the fresh project, and CMSDesk is fixed again.

Re: CMSDesk -- all labels/links in menus disappeared!! -- Happened Again!!
Hi Sharon,
unfortunately, this is a standard VS 2005 behavior and I'm not sure if it can be reconfigured. Unlike with VS 2003, the people in Microsoft thought it would be great to store the full path to the library in your Toolbox.
As a result, it tries to use the old version of DLLs from some place on your local disk and overwrite the latest DLLs in your bin folder which makes a terrible mess in the application and can cause unpredictable behavior.
You may want to clear the CMS controls from the Toolbox and add them again from some project-independent place (e.g. from some of the program files\kentico cms\1.8c\webinstaller\vs2005\... folder).
I hope this helps.
Best Regards,

Re: CMSDesk -- all labels/links in menus disappeared!! -- Happened Again!!
WOW -- those people at MS certainly have different ideas about what an "improvement" is! (I'm still gob-smacked by how long it takes to build. I used to be able to CTRL-SHIFT-B-take-a-sip-o-the-coffee and away I go again. Now I CTRL-SHIFT-B-go-make-the-coffee and then see if it's finished!!)
Will change the source of controls in the Toolbox, and remember that in future when there is an upgrade to Kentico CMSDesk I need to modify the location again.
Thanks,
Regards,
Sharon.

Hi
I have similar problem. After compiling the Visual Studio project the ALL CMS components disappeard.
In order to solve this problem, I have to restart IIS nearly everytime I compiled the project.
But I am using VS2003, VB.Net, 1.8c.
I remember that the previous CMS version do not have such problem. I think that 1.8c is not stable enough.

Hello,
Do you have any idea about this?
I have this problems not only on CMSDesk, but also all the CMS Content.

Re: CMSDesk -- all labels/links in menus disappeared!! -- Happened Again!!
Hello,
unfortunately, we have no idea what could cause this issue. The issue you describe is different to the previous one that was reported by Sharon on VS 2005.
There has been no change in the resource processing between 1.8b and 1.8c in C# 2003 version.
Could you please check if you get any warnings during the compilation of the project?
Could you please send me the web.config file to petr.palas@kentico.com?
Thank you.
Best Regards,
