DotNetNuke uses quite a few preset classes like .Normal, .Head, .SubHead, etc. in spans inside other classless spans etc. that I find really annoying and rather than figuring out how to work with them I'm considering overriding them by having them all inherit their styles from their parent, but I'm curious if others have already given th...
I have a dot net nuke site that I have written a custom module for. It a form that users fill out to submit information - no big deal. On the form, I use the Ajax and the Ajaxoolkit for validation, and a calendar popup. I enable/disable controls based on form data. Everthing works well in every browser/OS combo that I have tested EXCE...
Hello, I am creating a customer DotNetNuke(DNN) skin - and one of the things I'd like to do is have sub-menu groupings. For example: LIFE __LIVING IN WIDGETVILLE__ GETTING AROUND HOUSE PRICES SCHOOL INFORMATION Where: LIFE is the main menu item LIVING IN WIDGETVILLE is just a description or group for the sub-menu items. I cou...
Is there a class that overwrites the .MainMenu_MenuItem class for the Main Menu? I try to change the font-size and color of the Topmost parent of the Main Menu(includes Admin,Host links) and they won't change. I can change the background color. What am I doing wrong? ...
Hello, I want to group menu items in DNN menu into their own Divs - so I can have bottom padding on each cell in the heirarchy. So for example: I have main menu item of "About" - underneath that I have "About our Offices" - then under that I have "About our Server Room". This isn't the exact useage, just an example of the heirarchy. ...
Hello, Am working with a DotNetNuke(DNN) site and for some reason, the DNN:NAV control only displays the menu when I am logged in. The menu is part of the template file itself, which in this case is 'index.ascx' Any way for me to troubleshoot the visibility of the menu? Why wouldn't it be showing up? Everything else on the page is. ...
The DNN application I develop has this familiar problem in the deployment env (Win 2003/IIS 6). From all resources I've searched only one came close to my situation. i.e this request returning 404 instead of 302 I get. Common suggestions like aspnet reinstallation, web.config settings, removing 'verify file exists' in IIS handler settin...
Hi, I'm having troubles finding where I can put code-behind for my dnn pages. For example: MyPage.ascx already has <%@ Control language="vb" CodeBehind="~/admin/Skins/skin.vb" AutoEventWireup="false" Explicit="True" Inherits="DotNetNuke.UI.Skins.Skin" %> which it needs in order to be cast to a skin. However, I want to be able to a...
I'm working in a DNN environment where the default style sheet which every site loads sets styles for pseudo-classes. I could edit the default style sheet, but since this is stock and comes with all upgrades, I'd prefer to leave it alone and override their styles at the skin level. Does anyone know of a solution to get all these pseudo ...
Hi, I've created a Web Service that I need to use in my .ascx page. I can't just add this: <asp:ScriptManager ID="OWUScripts" runat="server"> <Services> <asp:ServiceReference Path="~/OWUDashboard.asmx" /> </Services> </asp:ScriptManager> Because then I have multiple ScriptManagers on the page. So I did a little resear...
Can users request that their password be emailed to themselves if the password is stored as a hash value? Is there any way to convert a hash value to the clear text value with the proper information (& what information would you need)? If a user has the same password hash value stored on two sites, would their password be the same for ...
Where can I find the function that handles the login for DNN? I would like to add custom features to the login and I don't see the function in Login.ascx.vb (unless I missed it). There is a tag and a tag that forms the login. I figure one of these has the actual "Login" button, but I cannot seem to figure out where they're coming fro...
Hi, This might be a general question, but I can't seem to figure it out. What are containers in DNN? Skins are essentially a layout plus a colour scheme for the whole portal. So are containers the skin for desktopmodules? Sorry if this question is novice. I am not confident in DNN yet, and am reading the doco. However i need this answe...
Hi guys, I am trying to modify a standard dnn module (Links) that comes with dnn. Essentially what i want is the make a copy of the current links module and change the look of it. I had a look inside the links module, and each link is placed in a table cell. I want to set the background of table cell to be an image and have a mouseover...
Hi guys, I am working on DNN 4.09.03. I want to modify the look and feel of a links module. I know how to change the outer looks with containers, but I want achieve a mouseover effect for the links itself. Looking closely it appears that the links are placed into a table datacell. I want to set the background of that cell to and image...
Our site requires the password be passed onto another page to auto log into vendor sites which are brought in via iframe. Since passwords are stored as a hash value in our site, the only way I can see being able to get the password from the page that needs it is to store it as a session variable, or pass it along on the querystring, whe...
How the heck do I get rid of that expand and contract (minus.gif) out of my HTML modules? Probably really simple but I can't find the option... I'm using version 4.09.04 default skin. Thanks. ...
I downloaded and tried SlickUpload from http://krystalware.com/Products/SlickUpload/Download.aspx You can try one of the "Quick Start" examples by downloading the Binary This works fine as a normal .net Application but when I do an easy test by copying the code to DNN (compile and everything), the event that is raised when the Upload...
I'm having a problem keeping the contents of this table within it's container: See here. The table is being automatically generated by something called CataLook store which is a DNN module. I really wish they would make modules up to standards-- ie. <div> instead of <table> but this is what I'm stuck with... I've tried Firebugging it ...
