Score Pipeline Patch Details - Missing Datasource

This patch corrects an issue in Score that throws a .Net error when a component's datasource no longer exists, but the component is still looking for it.

When a component is added to a page, a datasource is created in the selected Content folder.

It is possible for a content administrator to delete this datasource without also removing the component from the page, using the context menu in the Content Editor.

When this is done, the Page Editor still looks for the datasource. When it cannot find the expected datasource, it fails with a .Net error.

Since it is not possible for a content administrator to access the page to remove the offending component after this occurs, we have implemented a patch that displays a text message stating that the datasource is missing. This will display whenever an expected datasource cannot be found, while allowing the content administrator to remove the component.

This functionality will be added to Score in an upcoming patch, but has been implemented for your site manually.
