SharePoint 2013 external lists only work in page edit mode - sql-server

I have a site page with 3 external lists which display data through BCS connecting to an Azure SQL database as a web part.
They all display their data correctly when the page is in edit mode, but when saved, it just continually loads each web part and doesn't seem to finish.
Has anyone experienced the same issue?
[Edit]: Loading the lists on their own when not inserted to a page will work fine.

I seem to have solved my own issue.
Setting the web part miscellaneous properties to "Server Render" has all web parts loading their external data as expected.
My own inexperience seems to be the issue here, but I'm sure people familiar with web parts would know this.
This answer may helps others in the same situation.

React app get stuck on reload on Firefox desktop, but not on Chrome and other browsers

I have a create-react-app build being served by flask. It works fine in other browsers; however on Firefox, when I do a reload, the main.js file is stuck at the fetch method. After 3 minutes, it timesout then renders what it suppose to. I am looking for guidance on where to look from hereon. The production server does not log that the endpoint is receiving the fetch request; however, once the 3 minutes is up, the client side renders the updated information (as if it hit the server side). Everything looks like it should be working in the code I wrote, but I am not able scope out where I should be looking in debugging this issue.
Note: I am giving a broad description of the problem at the moment, but will disclose specifics such as codes, logs, and others items once I am able to get some guidance of the matter. As of now, there are no resources pointing out this specific issue, thus displaying code will simply be a "garbage" dump.
After working on the problem for quite some time, we found these two articles to be very helpful:
https://www.andreasreiterer.at/fix-whitescreen-static-react-app/
https://blog.miguelgrinberg.com/post/how-to-deploy-a-react--flask-project
After testing different sources, we first found that article one's suggestion of changing the homepage to the base url worked. After realizing that the nginx was getting confused on which static files to server, we proceeded to follow article 2's steps.
We did not have any issues on other browsers, but only on firefox. I hope this will help those that are experiencing the same Firefox issue.

Can't edit certain pages on DNN site after upgrade to 9.01.01

We recently upgraded one of our client sites to 09.01.01 to address a Telerik vulnerability, and then had to migrate the site from managed.com to Azure due to manage.com's outage. After the upgrade, a couple of pages on the site have been uneditable using the pencil icon in the persona bar, although the rest work fine. We're aware of the workaround of going into content > pages and clicking the pencil icon there, but even then not all of the areas on the page are editable. For example, there's one instance of the HTML module on the homepage where when you click on its pencil and then click "Edit Content," it just displays a pop-up with the text but no WYSIWYG or way to actually edit. Other instances of the HTML module work fine, on other pages and even other areas of the homepage.
What's more bizarre is that we just spun up another Azure VM and created a dev site from a clone of the live site so we could troubleshoot further, and this problem does NOT occur on that site even though it's an exact copy of the live site files and database and both sites are hosted in Azure.
Does anyone have advice on what might be causing this or how to troubleshoot? My original though was to clone the page and start removing modules one by one to see if anything made a difference, but it doesn't actually remove the module when I click delete. I've read about ways to do this directly in the database, but I'd prefer to avoid that if possible, especially since we're not seeing the same problem on the cloned site.
Thank you!
Could you please see if any error appearing on the logs folder? You can see the logs here. /Portals/_default/logs/2021.02.01.log.resources? The log file name may differ based on website's logging configuration.
A similar thing can be seen from the Personal bar as well using Admin Logs.

How to migrate an online angular script to local server?

Hi I'm trying to make an offline version of this page:
https://u-he.com/tools/microtuning/ the script is writtin with Angular JS how do I do that?
I saved the page control-s and copied the file to the local server I'm running.
And then I browsed the local ip. the page opened but I get repeated notes ng-repeat shows up as multiple boxes instead of 1 box that edits the same note but in different octaves.
How do I solve this problem please.
You can inspect the front-end code in your browser console. In Firefox it's in the section called "Debugger", in Chrome it's called "Sources". If you use Safari, you need to enable Developer mode first.
Once you have the appropriate view, just click on u-he.com -> tools/microtuning/ -> index
Hopefully it goes without saying that you shouldn't use large swaths of another person's code without at least giving appropriate credit, or better yet getting the developer's permission, unless there is an explicit open-source license.

Request.InputStream empty

A number of years ago I wrote a .aspx page that handled a HTTP POST Request which contained a piece of xml. The code read the xml using Request.InputStream - it worked fine for years until The DNN site that it was running in was updated to 5.6.8 now Request.InputStream is always empty. Note that the page is completely separate to DNN but located in site.com/Special/tlweb.aspx .
I've tested the same page on the same server using .net 4 but with a different IIS site and it works fine. Since another app POSTS data to the current URL I need to get it working in the existing location - changing the app is not an option.
I kind of think something was done in DNN 5.6.8 that was intended to stop cross site scripting attacks but I'm really having trouble figuring out what changed and what I can do to ensure that the specific page runs as it did previously.
Can anyone make any suggestions please?
Thanks

Obtaining MS Ribbon UI - Office UI Licensing Site - Page Cannot Be Found?

Can anyone actually download the RibbonControlsLibrary from the MS Office UI Fluent Site? (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/office/aa973809.aspx)
I fill in the form, sign it, enter a name of my application (test) and it then redirects to a page saying "Page Cannot Be Found" from the following URL http://microsoftio.partnersalesresources.com/officeUI/license/ .
I can't seem to get the Ribbon UI from MS!
Anyone know what might be going on here?
Thanks
Here's a download link I found, check it out:
http://daisy-trac.cvsdude.com/tobi/export/129/trunk/tobiapp/ExternalLibs/RibbonControlsLibrary.dll
Download at your own risk
[Update]
According to Tometzky who checked the Digital Signature, the file is safe to download and use.
There is a "site feedback" link in Office UI Licensing page. I'd recommend using it.
Looks like they are aware and working on it.
Quoted from http://wpf.codeplex.com/wiki/comments/view?title=Home
I spoke to the Office Licensing team
about this and this is what they had
to say: "Yes, unfortunately our web
site hosting group has reorganized
some of the sites and pages on the
backend and unfortunately our ribbon
UI licensing pages got disconnected.
They are working to remedy the
situation and we hope to have the
pages back up very soon." I will post
back here as soon as I hear that the
page is back up. I apologize for the
delay.
yesterday by SamanthaMSFT
I've got it from http://docs.fairwaydev.com/misc/wpftoolkit/
. It appears to be the official one as well, since the site is down.
