  Hi
  
  I want to upgrade my DNN-Installation from 5.1.1 to 5.1.2. But after installation i get errors in my containers!
  
  DotNetNuke.Services.Exceptions.ModuleLoadException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object. ---> System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object. bei DotNetNuke.UI.Containers.ActionBase.get_PortalSettings() bei Telerik.DNN.SkinObjects.MenuActions.Page_Load(Object sender, EventArgs e) --- End of inner exception stack trace
  
  Other Users have also problems with this: http://www.dotnetnuke.com/Community/Forums/tabid/795/forumid/107/threadid/328102/scope/posts/threadpage/2/Default.aspx

  It's not a good idea, but working
  In class DotNetNuke.UI.Containers.ActionBase (DotNetNuke.Library.vbproj)
  Property PortalSettings (starts with line 117)
  original code
  

  Protected ReadOnly Property PortalSettings() As PortalSettings

  Get

  'following If clase left to preserve backwards compatibility

  'liable to be removed if related obsolete variable gets removed

  If Not PortalModule.PortalSettings.ActiveTab.IsAdminTab Then

  m_tabPreview = (PortalSettings.UserMode = PortalSettings.Mode.View)

  End If

  Return PortalController.GetCurrentPortalSettings

  End Get

  End Property

  
  fixed
  

  Protected ReadOnly Property PortalSettings() As PortalSettings

  Get

  End Get

  End Property

  
  rebuild...

  Isn't that just forcing view mode so the error doesn't display?  REALLY need a fix for this.

  Hi Dax,
  
  The RadControls SkinObject / Modules are not yet updated for DNN 5.1.2 and it is possible that there are changes in DNN 5.1.2 that break the compatibility if RadMenuActions.
  
  If there are no major problems, we are expecting the SkinObject / Modules package to be updated and fully tested by the end of next week.
  
  Thank you for your understanding.
  
  Best wishes,
  Dimitar Milushev

  Here's what I did:
  
  In DesktopModules/telerik.skinobjects/RadMenuActions.ascx.vb change line 44 from:
  
             

  If (Me.PortalSettings.UserMode = PortalSettings.Mode.View OrElse MyBase.Parent.ID.IndexOf("-") > 0) Then

  
  to
  

  If (MyBase.Parent.ID.IndexOf("-") > 0 OrElse Not ActionManager.ActionControl.ModuleControl.ModuleContext.IsEditable()) Then

  
  I'm not 100% sure that this is the "right" way to do this, but it seems to work.

  Paul, your solution seemed to work, thanks!  Any update on the Telerik solution?

  I can confirm this solution works.
  
  In line 44 or radmenuactions.vb , replace:
  
  

  Me

   

  .PortalSettings.UserMode = PortalSettings.Mode.View
  
  With :
  
  

   

  Not

   

  Me.ModuleControl.ModuleContext.IsEditable

  I am not sure if my issues are related to this post or if I need a new post.
  
  

  We installed the Telerik menu a couple of years ago at www.iar.ubc.ca and it still works fine after the DNN 5.1.2 upgrade. Is there something I am missing that might not be working related to containers mentioned in this thread? 
  
  I am having issues with the Admin / Host icons not showing up. I did not do the actual Telerik install but I am now responsible for management of this entire site. So I am a Telerik newbie. Can anyone suggest a detailed way to just turn off the icons in Telerik? They are only used on the Admin / Host menus.

  I am however having other serious issues for which I cannot seem to get any feedback. Not sure if they are Telerik related or not.
  
  I cannot edit Roles, http://www.dotnetnuke.com/Community/Forums/tabid/795/forumid/118/threadid/330214/scope/posts/Default.aspx 
  
  And I cannot Upload Files. http://www.dotnetnuke.com/Community/Forums/tabid/795/forumid/18/threadid/325006/scope/posts/threadpage/1/Default.aspx

  There may be other issues, but I am trying to at least resolve these known issues in hopes that maybe there is some common fix that will resolve them.
