"Welcome to your new website" popup in DNN 7.2 and above shows some dynamic content. Its visible only to host users and doesn't reappears if "don't show this again" checkbox is checked once.
I need to develop something on similar lines where a popup should appear every-time a user of specific role(and some business logic) logs in. I think about creating a custom module and add it to all pages which could this for me but it seems welcome to your new site popup already tackles this.
Now I need to know if its somehow feasible to alter or extend this popup as per my need. I googled for some time and went through quick search in DNN code but haven't found anything convincing on this. Please suggest if what I think with this popup is feasible or I am searching in wrong path and creating custom module is my only way.
Thanks,
Ravi
I would think the best way to handle this would be with a custom skin object, and a custom module to manage the announcements.

I was installing some modules in Drupal 7. Suddenly, the helpful buttons across the top for admin mode disappeared. Can anyone tell me what happened and what I have to do?
I am able to go to {website}/admin and essentially see the same buttons on the page that, I guess, I would see across the top of the page, but I wonder if I am missing out on some functionality.
But even if I still have the functionality, I still can not find the place where I can install new modules, and the system is telling me I need the "views" module to view some content I need to manage.
What do I heed to have enabled in the modules to view these buttons across the top? Is it called "dashboard"?
Also, if I never find a way to see these buttons, where is the page that will let me add a new module?
I do not understand what exactly do you mean. Which buttons? The black admin toolbar?
Dashboard is a module for creating a special page with different admin view blocks.
Anyway, the page for modules administration is available on /admin/modules in Drupal 7.
I think your administrative toolbar is not visible.
Check whether the module named Toolbar is deactivated in admin/modules. If Yes, Turn it on. It will solve your problem.
If not solved, kindly explain your issue.
I am new to DNN and I'm trying to make a site with custom skin.
Skinning is all ok but once the superuser is time out, I couldn't login again.
The login page has disappeared and was being redirected to an empty custom skin page which only shows the header and the footer.
I have tried
localhost:1234/login
localhost:1234/admin
localhost:1234/?ctl=
but neither of them are working.
I tried to search for solutions but none of them seems to work and not relating.
Please show me a way, if I am missing somethings.
You might look at the Admin/Event Viewer page if you happen to still be logged in somehow (or eventlog table in the database) to see if there is an error being thrown, that isn't being displayed (because you aren't logged in).
That may point to the problem.
You might have a problem with a "container" that is missing thus the module isn't being loaded.
A few other things to try, try
localhost:1234/?ctl=login
localhost:1234/?ctl=register
See if anything loads for those.
Last resort, go into the database and NULL out the SKinSRC columns on the TABS table and see if you can find the default site Skin setting in the PortalSettings and make that null or something other than your custom skin.
I'm just trying out a simple app in the CocoonJS launcher which contains some links that open some external page.
This works fine, but the problem is that I can't identify a way to go back a page (i.e. history back). The launcher app just displays the page in fullscreen, no user controls visible at all. This is troublesome, because when my users tap on an ad, I want them to be able to go back to the game.
Am I missing something or is this simply not supported?
I do not know of any way to display a navigation bar or something similar.
Nevertheless, you can open your external urls via Cocoon.App.openURL(url); which will enable the user to open it via a normal browser where you can navigate back.
Regards.
I agree with the solution proposed by Scdev. Also, interstitials or fullscreen ads usually have a dismiss button themselves. I might be misunderstanding something.

Hi,
My Questions are :
I just want to create Login Popup in DNN 7 according to my requirements and CSS.
Please suggest way for it .
also Which is better way ...to Customize existing Login & Forgot Password Pages or to Create New Pages for these.
Is there any Free utility or service to make DNN development Easy
(Searched for Nucleus but could not find helpful info)
Please Suggest and provide useful Links also ..Thanks !
So Stackoverflow is great for 1 question at a time, I will start with #1 and ask you to break it up into other questions for the rest.
Does it need to be a popup? If not, try just creating a custom Login page and put the Account Login module on that, then Skin it as you wish.
If it needs to be a custom popup, you can look at the popupskin.ascx file in your SKIN, you can customize the way the popups look by changing your Popup Skin. My free DNN skin has an example of that file https://multifunction.codeplex.com/SourceControl/latest#popupskin.ascx
Is there a decent way in DNN 7 to modify the navigation block at the top? I am completely lost.
I am using the "Awesome Cycles" content as a template for a class project. All I am trying to do is change out the word "us" in the navigation at the top for the word "me".
I'm sure there must be an easy way to do it, but I don't think I "speak the language" well enough to google this. I have been literally searching for three days, and I know I'm going to feel stupid once someone points it out but... Oh well.
Thanks in advance!
You are correct that you can simple change the Page Name in the page settings to control what displays in the Navigation. But be aware that changing a page name also changes the URL of that page.
Check out this video for how to avoid bad URLs after changing pages
http://www.dotnetnuke.com/Resources/Video-Library/Viewer/Video/213/View/Details/Renaming-a-Page-in-DotNetNuke.aspx
tl;dr - create a new page, with the old name, make it hidden (not in the menu), and have it redirect to the new page.
