Atlas + DotNetNuke… Step 2: Adding Atlas support

So my module works fine without Atlas now, it adds data, it shows it… it can delete, edit… a bunch of stuff

But, I wanted to add Atlas now.

Basically I had to do 3 things:

1. Make sure I have Atlas dll in my bin directory
2. Add the necessary things to my web.config
3. Add the code for the update panel which will partially render my page

ok, 1 and 2 I did by this instructions

the third looked like this after implementing it:

the red areas are where I’ve put some Atlas code (as in many examples… most famous one beaing this)

but guess what…. It doesn’t work. I’m puzzled now because things were going so great (and I’ve done a similar thing in *normal* asp.net)

the results looks like this:

1. You select a user in the dropdownlist, we send a request for data, and progress indicator (Loading data…) tells us that the Atlas is fetching data

2. But the results ends up not changing

so, now I’m off to investigate the possible problem… The difficulty being here that nothing breaks… and nothing is changed either.

you can download the newly changed files here (just drop them over the old ones, the zip contains only updates)

UPDATE: I found some mention of control loading process sensitivity of Atlas, with DNN this could be the problem because it loads the module in a specific way (It executes it on PreRender event) - I will investigate this further.

    Hi I ran into the same problem, even the Requestet Module gets executed (I tried with a login procedure) but the updatepanel does not update. After that I tried webservices and javascript to update the page and it worked.
    So go on investigating :) I’ll check back later

    I must admit that I didn’t spend much time lately with Atlas, it’s good to know that other people have :)

    Dear all,

    The solution is simple: download the ajax .net beta release and do not use atlas anymore. It seems there was a bug in the panel. change your web.config according to the AjaxControlKit sample.
