Fix Breaking Change QuickEdit on Empty Page in v20

Keywords: #BreakingChange #Dnn #QuickEdit

Some Dnn themes such as the 2Shine or Bootstrap Instant have a built-in mechanism to show a "Quick Edit" button when the page is empty. This is useful, because otherwise the necessary JS isn't loaded till the first app is added, which can be confusing for users.

Because of the folder change in Dnn (from /DesktopModules/ToSIC_SexyContent/ to /DesktopModules/ToSic.Sxc/), this mechanism will fail, until the path is corrected in the 2sxc-quickedit.ascx control.

How to Fix

Based on the example of 2shine BS5, you can fix this by changing the path in the `2sxc-quickedit.ascx

Original:

<%@ Control language="C#" Inherits="System.Web.UI.UserControl" %>
<%--
	This control automatically injects the 2sxc Quickedit control, if 2sxc is
	installed. If it's not installed, the control will not do anything.

--%>
<asp:Placeholder runat="server" id="QuickEditPlaceholder" />

<script runat="server">
    protected override void OnLoad(EventArgs e)
    {
        base.OnLoad(e);

        try {
            // Loads the 2sxc QuickEdit control, if it's available
            var path = "~/DesktopModules/ToSIC_SexyContent/DnnWebForms/Skins/QuickEdit.ascx";
            if (System.IO.File.Exists(Server.MapPath(path))) {
                var control = LoadControl(path);
                QuickEditPlaceholder.Controls.Add(control);
            }
        }
        catch (Exception) // Fail silently
        {}
    }
</script>

Just change this line:

var path = "~/DesktopModules/ToSIC_SexyContent/DnnWebForms/Skins/QuickEdit.ascx";

to this:

var path = "~/DesktopModules/ToSic.Sxc/DnnWebForms/Skins/QuickEdit.ascx";
