Hi,

We're running Sitefinity 8.1.5810.0 and recently upgraded Feather to version 1.3.350.0. After upgrading, when trying to access Content > Images > [image library name], we are getting the following error:

I've tried deactivating and re-activating the Libraries module as well and un-installing it and reinstalling it and neither of those solutions have worked. Any suggestions before I start a roll back process?

Hi,

Please inspect your LibrariesConfig.config file for any <config:lazy> lines and comment them out. After that please reinstall the Libraries module again by removing the version attribute in the SystemConfig. You can refer to the following KB article how to do this: http://www.sitefinity.com/developer-network/knowledge-base/details/reinstall-sitefinity-module

Please make sure to attempt this on a backup of the project first.

That worked. Thanks.

Hello Velizar,

We're currently experiencing the same issue but with the News module. Commenting out the <config:lazy lines seems to work, even without reinstalling the module, but can we get an explanation about the cause? Can this be prevented from happening?

We're currently running SF 8.2.5906.0

Regards,

Hristiyan

We would also like an update as to the cause of this issue.

We experienced this on SF 9.1 even without updating. We simply created a new library and this issue started appearing.

Any way to permanently resolve this and stop it from happening in the future?

Anyone has this fixed? I'm having this after upgrading to 9.1.

My Dynamic Module isn't working anymore and I'm getting this error.

Hi Daniel,

Did you find a solution to this your issue with the Dynamic Module?

I am having trouble accessing the backend screens for just one dynamic type as part of a custom module. I've noticed there is no configuration available for this type, but I am at a loss as to how to replace it accurately.

I've tried deactivating / reactivating the module hoping it will rebuild the config file but no luck.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Hi Brett,

I am running into the same problem... Recently upgraded - I have a couple of Dynamic Modules that I am unable to access under the Content menu item. "ContentView control is in Master mode and no MasterViews exist in the Views collection defined by this control." I know its been a while since you replied to this , but did you have any luck - and if so, what did you do?

I had this error when upgrading to 10.0, but only in production. Turns out a lot of .config files are created in the folder: ~/App_Data/Sitefinity/Configuration

I had to add them to my deployment. Then it worked again.

Best,
Daniel

We recently jumped from 5.0 to 9.2. I've included every file in the ~/App_Data/Sitefinity/Configuration/ directory in the project and rebuilt the solution, and verified the config files are in the /Sitefinity/Administration/Files file listing. Still hitting the same wall.

Hi Dave,

Did you also checked this KB article?
http://knowledgebase.progress.com/articles/Article/cannot-access-the-dynamic-module-page-in-the-backend-after-importing-the-module

Best,
Daniel

I hadn't seen that article, but I double checked the file to ensure I have a line in for that particular module, and I do. I removed the line and rebuilt the solution and in doing so, I got the particular error in that KB article when navigating to the Content > Module Name list... adding the line back in gets be back to the "ContentView control is in Master mode and no MasterViews exist in the Views collection defined by this control" error. Thank you for your help on this by the way Daniel!
