Error while trying to change alert template on a new alert

Hello,

I created about a dozen custom alert templates that we plan on using across several sites. I then proceded to create the alerts for the individual lists within the site. All was going fine up until I tried to change the alert template from the WSS default one to one of my custom ones when I get this error message: Only PickerDialog types can be used with the dialog. The type should be configured as a safecontrol in this site.

Anyone see this message before? Any assistance would be helpful.

Thanks,
Shadowlo

    It sounds like your web.config file is missing a SafeControl entry? You should have the following SafeControl tags in your web.config file. Can you verify this?

    <SafeControl
        Assembly="SPSolutions.SharePoint, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=08a33cc09f006379"
        Namespace="SPSolutions.SharePoint.WebControls"
        TypeName="*" Safe="True" />

    <SafeControl
        Assembly="SPSolutions.SharePoint.AlertManager, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=08a33cc09f006379"
        Namespace="SPSolutions.SharePoint.AlertManager.ApplicationPages"
        TypeName="*" Safe="True" />

    <SafeControl
        Assembly="SPSolutions.SharePoint.AlertManager, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=08a33cc09f006379"
        Namespace="SPSolutions.SharePoint.AlertManager.WebControls"
        TypeName="*" Safe="True" />
