I've been using this skin for 6 months now, and all of a sudden, some strange bugs have come up. Some Jquery-based sliders and portfolio have stopped functioning properly. (I checked their Flatna2 demo pages and the issues are on there.) Also some of the drop-down menus on the administrative side have stopped working.

DNN Rox is no longer on the DNN Store, and I'm not getting a response from the email on their website. Has this company gone defunct?

If so, how can I figure out what has happened to my skin? Could there have been an update to Javascript or Jquery that caused the slider and portfolio to no longer be compatible? I don't understand how this could have happened.

We were very close to having the new site ready to launch.

Amanda,

One possibility is that the skin is loading jquery files from external sources, and the location(s) have changed.

Use your browser's developer tooks (F12) and look at the Console Window for any error message.

I'm not familiar with either the company or the skin. However, I'd be willing to take a look at it. Use the contact form at patapscoresearch.com to send me a note.

I've been emailing an employer of Omar Jannah (I believe he's the owner of DNNrox) to get an insight for our discovery of the issues on a huge set of live DNN portals. So far Omar has been non-responsive but Malik Khan at pointclick.net has been very helpful in contacting Omar's brother and getting Omar's cell phone.

I've been going through all the code of the skin with no luck on any CDN or outside sources of scripting that might cause it.

I just found that Dustin has got the insight...

custom.js has a date on line 140 : date: "25 december 2014 12:00:00" that when moved ahead restores most of the sliders, maps, etc.

How's it going for you?

Thanks. I'm sure that will be a help to all owners of the skin.

Interesting that this seems to be the equivalent of a "self-destruct" mechanism!

I have not used any products from DNNRox, but this does emphasize the importance of buying products from known/reliable developers. I do know that the DNNStore recently has begun to put it's stamp of approval on some products. I believe that this is documented (and there is at least one blog posting about it) at the store.

You can always post here to ask for module recommendations, too!

We have fixed the mysterious random change issues with the Flatna and Flatna2 skin packages. The main culprit is with ../Flatna/js/countdown.js and ../Flatna2/js/countdown.js via "Line 26 Uncaught Error: interval value not defined". To workaround this issue, add the following code to Line 4:

var interval;

Then you'll want to replace both instances of:

clearInterval(interval);

with:

if(interval){
clearInterval(interval);
}

With Flatna, there is another issue we decided to fix and depending on what you are using in the skin, you may or may not need this. The culprit is with ../Flatna/vendor/particles-slider/js/particlesSlideshow.js via "Line 65 Uncaught Error: Cannot read property 'appendChild' of null". To workaround this issue, add the following before Line 60:

if(!slideshowContainer){
return;
}

This should help a lot of people!

Thanks, David!

David, are you still out there? We just upgraded to the newest DNN release and modules have moved into different content panes, and pages are displaying differently in edit mode than otherwise. DNN support said it's a skin issue. If you see this, please give me an email address to contact you. Thanks!

Amanda,

You can probably use the nvisionative website to contact David. See his signature.
