What happened?

When trying to create a default or blank website, it gives the error:

The element 'settings' has invalid child element 'allowjsinhtmlmodule'. List of possible elements expected: 'siteloghistory, showquickmoduleaddmenu, dataconsentdelay, cookiemorelink, expirydate, dataconsentuserdeleteaction, timezoneoffset, dataconsentconsentredirect, hostfee, dataconsenttermslastchange, timetoautosave, enableautosave, currency, dataconsentactive, allowuseruiculture, enablebrowserlanguage, paymentprocessor, backgroundfile, dataconsentdelaymeasurement'.

This error is not visible in the Admin log.

It doesn't matter wether you choose a different language...

Steps to reproduce?

1. Go to Manage>Sites
2. Click on Add New Site
3. Fill in the desired title and URL, and choose a website template
4. Click on Create website
5. You'll see an error

The element 'settings' has invalid child element 'allowjsinhtmlmodule'. List of possible elements expected: 'siteloghistory, showquickmoduleaddmenu, dataconsentdelay, cookiemorelink, expirydate, dataconsentuserdeleteaction, timezoneoffset, dataconsentconsentredirect, hostfee, dataconsenttermslastchange, timetoautosave, enableautosave, currency, dataconsentactive, allowuseruiculture, enablebrowserlanguage, paymentprocessor, backgroundfile, dataconsentdelaymeasurement'.

Relevant log output

The element 'settings' has invalid child element 'allowjsinhtmlmodule'. List of possible elements expected: 'siteloghistory, showquickmoduleaddmenu, dataconsentdelay, cookiemorelink, expirydate, dataconsentuserdeleteaction, timezoneoffset, dataconsentconsentredirect, hostfee, dataconsenttermslastchange, timetoautosave, enableautosave, currency, dataconsentactive, allowuseruiculture, enablebrowserlanguage, paymentprocessor, backgroundfile, dataconsentdelaymeasurement'.

Anything else?

I tried to deselect the 'Allow Javascript in HTML Module'.

This causes this portalsetting to appear in db table dbo.PortalSettings with a value False.

After this I tried again but that doesn't do anything.

In DNN 10.3.2 there's no such setting... and I also just tested: creating a new site is no problem.

Workaround

Triggered by this discussion, I opened Blank Website.template and I deleted the setting <allowjsinhtmlmodule>False</allowjsinhtmlmodule>. After this I was able to create a website...

Affected Versions

10.3.3 (latest release)

What browsers are you seeing the problem on?

Chrome

I can confirm the issue, as a workaround until a fix is submitted you could remove that setting (an potentially one or two more later) from the default templates in:

• Portals\_default\Blank Website.template
• Portals\_default\Default Website.template

On a related note, this is just a theory but I think the original change missed the xsd validation files present in Components\Portals\portal.tmplate.xsd/xsx
