I have returned to building a website in Joomla after quite a long time away from it. I've totally forgotten how you assign a module to the front page. I've installed a module that I created in Content Creator which is an online tool for creating MVC based components.
I've enabled the module and I can now create content for this module. It's a module called front page icons.
I select Menus > Main Menu and click on module assignment but it doesn't appear.
I try creating a menu item for this content type and I can do that fine. I can create the menu item right and you open the menu item and there appears a nice little list of my content I've created but I can't assign this to the main page.
I honestly can't remember how to do this, all I remember is that the process is counter intuitive and took me ages to find in the first place.
Any idea?
You need to set this up in Extensions > Modules.
1) Open the module you want to display.
2) Go to the 'Menu Assignment' tab
3) Select 'Only on the pages selected'
4) Check your home page
Also, double check that the module is assigned to a position and is published.

I'm not sure if this is possible at all but this is what I want to acheive:
The website I am working on for a martial arts school.I have program pages that give general info on them. Then I have a link that says 'register to view available times' (for a free trial).
I am wondering how to get the user to the specific page for that program's registration. After that, I want to apply the same sort of thing to each program page. E.g. If I am on kids classes > Register > Redirect to Kids Class Times
Womens > Register > Redirect to Women's Class Times.
Also, want the same thing to happen for a 'login' function.
Joomla natively does not support this. You will have to use a third party extension to achieve this. I have used Community Builder (https://www.joomlapolis.com/) before that is both free and open-source that can do what you want.
If i understood your question you like to put some content in to view only for person who is registered on your website.
Here is how to.
1. Create menu item in menu manager >
Add content to your menu. ( modules , articles ) > .
Set the same menu item from Public to Registered.
Button to do so, will be on right side tab: " Details " in menu setting.
2.Then you create a link to these menu or item alias which is public. When the person will click on link the joomla will ask for login and redirect to the menu page.
Hope this helps.
I'm working with a hospital where we are implementing a web-application that is triggered from their own hospital information system (HIS).
The way the app works is that in their HIS, they select a patient and call the web-app with the patientId in the url.
Regarding patient safety, they want only one of those tabs open at the same time.
So if a second patient-tab is opened, the first one should be closed ..
Is this possible? And if it is, how?
Edit following danday74's answer
The url from the HIS is triggered via command line arguments (SAP system).
Firefox "http://url_to_webpage/"
when you link to the patient tab do this ...
<a ng-href="/your/patient/url" target="patientTab">open new patient tab</a>
When the link is clicked it should open the page in a new tab called "patientTab" - if another link is clicked with the target patientTab then it will use the existing "patientTab" - just make sure all your anchor tags that use the patientTab have the target set.
hope that does the job for you :)
So for the people that have a similar problem, the way we fixed it was the following:
On the init script for the page, we check if a session variable tab-token is found and if it contains a UUID
If the variable is not found, it means that no other open tab is found and we leave the tab active + create the variable and store a generated UUID in it
If a UUID is found, that means another tab is also active and we show a screen overlay with the message that another active tab was found
We watch on every change in the session variable and update the screen overlay whenever and wherever it needs to.
It is not a fool-proof solution, but in the context and usage of the application, it is sufficient ..
I have a custom module in DNN 7 that has a data structure where items belong to categories (called "sections", not DNN taxonomy, just a simple list of section names). The module edit screens work so that on the view control you may click on an edit link on each category, which loads the category edit screen (passing the category id). This works great, and when you save I use Globals.NavigateURL() to return to the view screen. This all works as intended.
On each category edit screen I also have a list of the items within that category, each with an edit link. Clicking the edit link opens the item edit screen, passing the correct item id, and allowing me to edit that item. This all works great, until you save. The save works properly, but when I want to send the user back to the edit screen for the category it doesn't work. When I use:
Response.Redirect(EditUrl("SectionId", sectionid.ToString(), "EditSections"), true);
...nothing happens. It simply doesn't redirect anywhere. This is exactly the same URL I'm using to get to the category edit page in the first place:
EditUrl("SectionId", Eval("SectionId").ToString(), "EditSections")
And then I use a similar URL to get to the item edit page:
EditUrl("ItemId", Eval("ItemId").ToString(), "EditItems")
I don't understand why using the same URL to navigate to the same page I already navigated to would simply not do anything. For now I am sending them all the way back to the view, but it's painful if you need to add several items to the same category to have to navigate back into the category and add another item, only to be sent back to the view.
Anyone see anything like this before?
Have you tried to use the overload of NavigateUrl instead of EditUrl?
Globals.NavigateURL(TabId, "EditSections", "mid", ModuleId.ToString(), "SectionId", Eval("SectionId").ToString())
I haven't seen that myself but I would have to assume that somehow the context is being lost with EditURL and you're not getting sent to the proper location due to that.
I would suggest you try one of two things (or both).
Debug the URL that EditURL is returning and see if you can find the
difference.
Use NavigateURL for all your links and pass in MID=## for your
moduleid as a querystring parameter, to ensure that the proper
values are being passed.
UPDATE: If you're trying to have multiple edit views, and move between them, you might look at using a "loader" instead of having separate module definitions for the edit controls. Basically have a single Edit.ascx file defined, and it loads other ASCX files within it, injecting into a Panel. The View control on this module http://dnnsimplearticle.codeplex.com/ does that, but I haven't tried it with an edit control before.
I am a newbie in drupal, webform and php. Actually I have installed the drupal-7 with the webform module and I want to modify the text of options i.e. "view" to "create project" and "Results" to "View Projects"...
I searched for solution and I noticed that best option is to create a custom module and use hook_form_alter() to modify, so I have created a custom module. But I dont know how I can modify.
Kindly excuse me if the solution is already there (I could not find it :( )
"View" and "Results" are actually menu items, which you can modify by implementing hook_menu_alter().
http://drupal.org/node/483324
The following code in a custom module (change MODULENAME to the name of your module) will update the "Results" tab without a hitch, however the "View" tab is trickier because that's the core "view node" menu item. The code below will update this menu item for ALL node types, not just webforms. If you don't see the changes, clear your cache.
As far as I know there is no way to alter menu items ("View" in this case) for specific node types. See http://drupal.org/node/754508 for some attempts and discussion.
function MODULENAME_menu_alter(&$items) {
// change webform "Results" to "View Projects"
$items['node/%webform_menu/webform-results']['title'] = t('View Projects');
// change "View" to "Create Project" - affects *all* node types, not just webforms
$items['node/%node/view']['title'] = t('Create Project');
}
Ey I found one easy way to change everything in everything drupal 7 maybe in others try the moduls to install is String Overrides, link: http://drupal.org/project/stringoverrides, then you put the name in the configuration username and the newname
I hope this information is useful

what am i doing wrong?
i want to add an html module to the right pane with the intent it will show on every page after the single addition tot he pane. the pane is used on every portal page.
when i add the module i needed to do it on a page by page basis.
whats the method to correctly add it to the pane once and have the change reflect everywhere the pane is used?
There is a module setting for that. I think it is show on all pages or something like that. but you will also need to make sure that you set the module security accordingly as well.
Module settings -> Parameters ->
-> Main -> Set View right for all users
-> Additional params -> Set Show on all pages
