Articles 4.0.6 (Alpha 3) Now Available

I've still got a few more things I need to do before I can call this a beta but this release is really shaping up nicely. I am now using it on all my major sites and have done quite a lot of testing. But it will be a few more days before we get to code-freeze and the beta. Here's alpha 3 for those that can't wait.

If you get an error about an "Ambiguous" class definition when you install this, you need to delete the EfficionConsulting.Articles.dll from your bin directory. When I release the beta version, I'll be compiling the module into a DLL again or making both styles available.

Please report any bugs you find in the module to the right.

Hi, I always loved your module since I found it last year. I Installed the Alfa 4.0.6 and found two minor isues:
1. I had Sort by Publish Date selected then changed to Sort by Title. Got the following error:
Error retrieving the article list:
DotNetNuke.Services.Exceptions.ModuleLoadException: Conversion failed when converting datetime from character string. ---> System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: Conversion failed when converting datetime from character string. at System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection.OnError(SqlException exception, Boolean breakConnection) at System.Data.SqlClient.SqlInternalConnection.OnError(SqlException exception, Boolean breakConnection) at System.Data.SqlClient.TdsParser.ThrowExceptionAndWarning(TdsParserStateObject stateObj) at System.Data.SqlClient.TdsParser.Run(RunBehavior runBehavior, SqlCommand cmdHandler, SqlDataReader dataStream, BulkCopySimpleResultSet bulkCopyHandler, TdsParserStateObject stateObj) at System.Data.SqlClient.SqlDataReader.HasMoreRows() at System.Data.SqlClient.SqlDataReader.ReadInternal(Boolean setTimeout) at System.Data.SqlClient.SqlDataReader.Read() at DotNetNuke.Common.Utilities.CBO.FillCollection(IDataReader dr, Type objType) at EfficionConsulting.Articles.ArticleController.GetArticles(Int32 PortalId, Int32 ModuleId, String Categories, Int32 MaxNumber, Int32 Age, Boolean ShowAuthOnly, Boolean Featured, Boolean IgnorePublishDate, Boolean IgnoreExpired, String SortField) at EfficionConsulting.Articles.ArticleListBase.GetData() --- End of inner exception stack trace ---

2. This is a "Whish" one: I always wanted a Sort Order field so a can manually set the order of the article listing. Hope this could be implementend in this version.

My gratitude for you effort, this is an excellent module.

Actually, just noticed it does not return from the details screen/comments following a submit on this site. How do I return to the articles page ?

Great module. I have installed the alpha on dnn 4.8.4. If I submit a comment, and press return, it still shows the coments, rather than returning just to the article. If i do not submit a comment , it works fine. Is this correct behaviour? It seesm to work as I wopuld expect on your site here, so any idea how I change this?

Hi David,
I just started playing with this today. It is the first time using this module. It is very cool. I like the fact that details can displayed. One thing I would like to see is the ability to open in the same page, but in a secondary Article module. I was thinking of hacking a solution to this in ArticleList.ascx.vb PageLoad. If I create a dummy ArticleDetail Template (noload), and change the code to be If Request("View") = "Details" And Settings("DetailsTemplate") <> "noload", the module I do not want to display details will go back to list. The secondary module can have a valid Details template and load the detail
