Widgets throwing Errors (News and Events confirmed)
Hi there,
I have 3 sites that have been upgraded to 4.1 (all of which are having show stopping issues). The latest I've found is when I attempted to edit or add built in news widget to a content place holder. An empty javascript alert/error was displayed and then the prompt to prevent page from displaying further alerts. The Chrome Console showed the below error continuously being generated:
/Sitefinity/Services/Taxonomies/HierarchicalTaxon.svc/e5cd6d69-1543-427b-ad62-688a99f5e7d4/?hierarchyMode=true&sortExpression=Title%20ASC&filter=POST http://sitename.local/Sitefinity/Services/Taxonomies/HierarchicalTaxon.svc/e5cd6d69-1543-427b-ad62-688a99f5e7d4/?hierarchyMode=true&sortExpression=Title%20ASC&filter= 405 (Method Not Allowed)Have an open thread on a similar (same?) issue
www.sitefinity.com/.../list-module-properties-not-working.aspx
And actually Gabe encountered this bug on his webinar demo at 11...
I would be super interested in a fix for this as I also have 0 fully working 4.1 sites as well, and open unanswered tickets on upgrade issues as well.
Hey Steve, I thought your issue was a bit different, more like this one http://www.sitefinity.com/devnet/forums/sitefinity-4-x/bugs-issues/events-widget-error-message-4-1.aspx The issue I'm having doesn't display the long error in a javascript alert that you see in that post but it looks like what you're getting. I just get a blank alert and then looping error in console.
I'm sure they're probably similar though. All I know is that SF 4.1 seems to have added more bugs than fixes at this point. Can't even put my frustration into words, they don't make swear jars that big!

Yeah I'm at about a 12 on a scale of 1-10 right now...was up till midnight trying to get any site working. The features on paper look great, but damned if I can test them out. The only time it seems to work is a new site created in the project manager. And get this...after a new instance completed and I was looking at the Casini-fed dashboard...I re-loaded it in IIS and accidentally re-reloaded before it had fully come up. Hosed the entire thing with a YSOD security error which I could not recover from, so I had to delete everything and Re-Re create the project.
One site which has the closest (technically past) deadline seems to work in the backend (aside from the Lists module which has this error) is totally unable to render any front-end page...
My personal site wont even get that far, gets stuck in an endless database loop trying to enter version numbers into a table and throws a yellow screen of death instantly when it hits a duplicate. I also encountered this on the site above, but restoring the DB and upgrading again resolved it there. But in this case, same thing on every restore.
More annoying for me is fixes promised for 4.1 reported since january are still pending (I have an issue ID and everything)
I have a long weekend coming up here too where I could potentially get the site out the door
Oh good phew, the project that was working and loading yesterday now has the security error today and is again rendered useless

Hi Steve,
Can you please make sure that you have set your project on IIS as described in this article: Configuring the IIS to host Sitefinity projects (section Configuring folder permissions).
The most common reason for getting this exception is if your application pool identity does not have sufficient permissions over the App_Data folder and its content. If your website is added to source safe make sure it is checked out and is not read only.
Any word on this? All my event items are blowing up. I get the looping javascript alert.
Hi Randy,
Can you please try viewing the template for your events and news items. Find the declaration of the controls which should display tags and categories and see if it matches the bellow declaration:
<sitefinity:HierarchicalTaxonField ID="HierarchicalFieldControl" runat="server" TaxonomyId="E5CD6D69-1543-427b-AD62-688A99F5E7D4" DisplayMode="Read" WebServiceUrl="~/Sitefinity/Services/Taxonomies/HierarchicalTaxon.svc" Expanded="false" TaxonomyMetafieldName="Category" ExpandText="ClickToAddCategories" BindOnServer="true" />
