We're using DotNetNuke 5.01. I've downloaded a module from a third party company. While installing the module using the host Module Definitions page, I get this error: This package does not appear to be a valid DotNetNuke Extension as it does not have a manifest. Old (legacy) Skins and Containers do not contain manifests. I...

Please see my DNN Forum Post for more details. I've never had any issues with DotNetNuke installations. But with the new v5.20 (or v5.02, whichever it really is), everything runs perfectly fine through installation. I then get to the main default portal homepage. But as soon as I click any of the links available to continue (Home, Regis...
I am developing a number of modules for a client that will share some user interface functionality using a common Web User Control to provide the UI. When I wrote the first module and added in the .ascx file, all was fine. When I add the same control to the second module, I get the following error: DotNetNuke.Services.Exceptions.Modu...
I'd like to supplement my existing DotNetNuke website with a side application which is built on MVC. To do this, I'd like to set the MVC application up on a separate subdomain (e.g. subapp.mydomain.com) and to connect to the same database. I've tried this already and I can get the MVC app to connect at the ASP membership levels (just u...
Which SQL Server table can I locate keywords associated with a page in DotNetNuke? ...
Are there any recommended methods for automating configuring DotnetNuke settings? We will have several instances of our DNN application (prod, beta, qa, dev, local, etc) and need to be able to configure them all the same and be able to make updates to them all with our future releases. The settings currently needed to be configured inclu...
Is there a recommended location to store static resources (images, css, js, etc) in a DotNetNuke 5.x installation? There are /images and /js folders as well as a /Resources folder that contains resources. There appears to be some overlap as MicrosoftAjax.js is in multiple locations (but might be different versions?). I also could put r...

I have a DNN site (05.02.03) in test and nearing release into production and I would like to suppress the details of error messages (i.e. Null Reference Exception, and others) to general users (admins can still see the details). Debug is off in the web.config. By suppressing, I mean the only error message I want to display to the gener...
We're using the default navigation system, within DotNetNuke v5.2.2, and I'm wondering if there is a way to have the text within a top-level tab wrap (i.e. within the cell). I know you can put tags in the name of the tab, but that messes up the breadcrumb token too. Also, if you use tags, then it will wrap the tabs I want, but tabs t...
Ok, so this may seem an elementary question. Maybe it is. But for the life of me I don't know the answer. I'm looking for the simple answer(s). I've attempted both of the following: 1) I have a site I've created locally. When I deploy to my host (XCopy of site files + restore of a .bak SQL Server backup file), I get all kinds of errors...
Hi, Do you know of a module that let you publish content (via HTML PRO module or whatever) on a certain time and date? (example: 1.3.2011 at 2:43pm) I know that there is a built in option for content scheduling by date, not by time. I know you can do it with the Announcements Module. (But you can't format the output so I can't use it....

A client of me is migrating to a new CMS and the old CMS contains placeholders in the content that need to be replaced, something like (bad example ahead): {{ID:CurrentShoppingId}}, which would be replaced with the ID of the current shopper. I can think of three ways, but I'm totally open to new and better suggestions: Create a new mo...
Trying to schedule autobuilds for dnn communitiy version (5.5) solution using TFS 2010, but it keeps on failing, trying to copy files from one bin folder for a particular project to another bin folder. Can someone guide me, I am new to both DNN and TFS Thanks, Ali. ...
In DotNetNuke, I have added multiple URL aliases for a portal. The first one added is the default alias which cannot be removed or changed. Of course I can do this in the Portal alias table in the database directly (using Management Studio), but people who have no access can't. Is there a way? It seems like such an obvious need - but I...
Hi there, We've just installed a SSL certificate in IIS and enabled SSL in DotNetNuke. We only secured one page, but now when we try to view the page it hangs. Most browsers aren't giving any valid reason and neither the windows event log nor the DNN log is showing any errors that would help. Firebug shows that the initial request for...
Hi, I am using DotnetNuke 5.4 Community and I have met with a specific requirement. I need to make it possible a configurable footer area (i.e a DNN admin should be able to manage the content & image to be displayed in footer area) on a portal basis. As now I can change the header logo on portal basis, the same functionality need to b...
