Conflict between News-app and Extranet signup

Hey,

it seems like upgrading to DW9 has introduced a conflict between the news-app and the extranet-app. Particularly, if an end user is on a page where a news-item is being displayed, the extranet-app - if present on the same page and configured for profile creation - will return an error:

An error occurred while attaching module (Dynamicweb.Frontend.Content)

System.FormatException: String was not recognized as a valid Boolean.
at System.Boolean.Parse(String value)
at Dynamicweb.UserManagement.Frontend.Frontend.SaveForm(ParagraphSettings settings)
at Dynamicweb.UserManagement.Frontend.Frontend.GetContent()
at Dynamicweb.Frontend.Content.GetModuleOutput(P

I reported this to the support desk and it apparently has to do with both apps using the "Action" url-parameter.

A lot of our clients have newsletter signups present on every page (ie. in the footer or in a popup), so this is a relatively big issue. There are workarounds, like using the Forms for Editors app to make a signup form, but this has a lot of limitations (multiple forms for localization, inability to have optional user groups) and it requires a lot of time to make this switch across many solutions.

I think this should be classified as a bug. Other opinions are welcome :)

Hi Martin

It should work if you use the PID in the news list. Attached a quick setup on 'my machine' using newsv2 and forms for editors, and it works nicely... Except the layout :-).

So what version are you on?

Hey, thanks for the quick reply!

I tried that and it's the same error. The solution I'm testing this on is running 9.3.6
