I had an link in my DNN site Menu - pointing to aspx page of my installed module.
I replaced this link with an external link.
And now i wish to change back to old one - aspx from module. BUT am not getting that listed in the dropdown
How to get that back or I missed anything ? I could found the module still in that EXTENSIONS.
Please suggest
Rigin
I think you may be a little confused,
Modules are placed on pages, (One or mor module generally makes up a page.
Menu links refer to pages,
To add a module to a menu it must be on a page.
Once you have placed you module on a page you can select it from the select a web page drop down
A dnn module got 2 pages a view page and a settings page. So you must be sure that your module start's with the correct page.
So what you want is not possible the way you want it.
Best way for you is to control the page in your module. You can control this with for example a user controls(ascx). See image for a default module view.

I would like to make sub pages under and existing page. Lets say the page is "Success Stories" and under this page the user can enter in other pages and format them any way they want. What I need is a way to make a repeater of all these subpages with stuff like the page title, a little bit of the content, and a button that links to the actual page.
Is this possible out of the box? I am willing to buy a module if it is reasonable;however a Google search returned no results.
Thank you.
The best option I know is Child Links from Ventrian.
You can show all children with title and description & links. (NOTE: description is Page description NOT content from the page.)
what version of dotnetnuke are you using?
Two options:
ONE
There is a copy page function where you can choose what modules and setting to copy to the new page.
Under the pages menu - click copy page
then you can select what page to copy from, and then it will list all modules on that page. You can choose to copy the module with or without content or even reference the module on the source page.
TWO
Other than that you can create a page template that a user can select that is pre-designed by you. Create the base page the way you want it and then click export page under the page / edit page menu depending on your version. A template will be created in your portal template folder that can be used when creating new pages.
If you are looking to automate this process, then you will have to look into a custom module or design a sql script you can run yourself (but this is a lot more maintenance as it can change with every version.)
While adding an HTML module to my dotnetnuke web site, I got an unexpected bug. Do not know how it happened. Instead the module tile was added at the extreme top of the page as body text. Please refer this link - http://indiastockspotter.com/LiveTrades/tabid/151/Default.aspx
At the top of the page above the menu bar the text "Live trades - Futures and Stocks" is added. I can't find a method to delete this. I think by editing the code behind this page, It can be corrected, but no idea where the file is located. Searched many folders but no success.
DotNetNuke doesn't create files for each page; the structure of the site is stored in the database.
There should be a "Manage" button for each module (including the one at the top of your page), which would let you move the module to the correct pane.
I am extremely new to dotnetnuke. I have added an HTML module in home page. I want this module with same content in some other pages and it should be update automatically when i update in home page. How can i implement this in Dotnetnuke?
Please anyone help me!!!!
In the ribbon bar on top of the page, on the common tasks tab, in the Add module section
select the Existing radio button
select your home page in the page drop down
select the module you want a reference to in the Module drop down
click add module
P.S. this question is not programming related and doesn't really belong on SO. A better place to ask this question is the forums on DotNetNuke.com, you may also want to support the DNN proposal for StackExchange here.
How can I edit modules in DNN5? I have previously used DNN4. It is not obvious to me what to do now.
There isn't anything that has changed substantially between DNN 4 and DNN5 in terms of editing module content. First, make sure that you're logged in with a user who has edit permissions to the module. Then make sure that you're viewing the site in Edit mode (the radio buttons on the top left). Then, there will probably be an "action menu" in the top left corner of the module's container, from which you can access the module's edit page.
If you're still having trouble, it may be that you're using a container that doesn't have the standard action menu. You can try changing the container for the page or the site (in page or site settings) to see if that addresses the issue.
Finally, which module are you trying to edit content in? Is it an HTML module, or some other module?
Can we create a content managed master page in dotnetnuke?
eg. I want the right pane and bottom pane to be content managed, but to show the same thing across all pages.
Thanks
What you are describing is essentially what DNN calls a Skin.
A DNN skin is actually just an ASP.NET user control (ascx) that dictates page-wide or site-wide look and feel, which offers developers the same functionality as a Master page, except that it ties into DNN-specific elements and uses some DNN-specific user controls, such as menu/navigation, logo, breadcrumbs, login/user account links, etc.
Now, in order to add the ability to provide content management capabilities site-wide, you specify an area in your skin to place a module (let's say, a Text/HTML module). This area is called a pane. Once you add a module to this pane, in its settings you can tell it to appear on every page. This way, the module can be edited on any page, and its changes will be reflected on all pages automatically.
Check out DNN's site, as it contains a TON of documentation on how to do many common tasks: http://www.dotnetnuke.com/Support/Documentation/DownloadableFiles/tabid/478/Default.aspx. Under the Technical Documentation section, you'll want to grab the Skinning document (I believe it's a PDF).
DNN Modules can be set to appear on all pages by checking a checkbox in the module settings. However DNN does not use the concept of a Master Page. It injects modules (user controls) in containers on a single aspx page at runtime.
A Master Page would be a great addition to DotNetNuke you cannot replace content in a single area of the page. The whole page refreshes. For example if you have a menu and you only want the content of what you select to appear in a specific content area without refreshing the rest of the page you have to resort to third party modules that attempt to do that but usually fail. There are 'module wrappers' but all the ones I've tested have issues with modules that allow the user to edit content. Edit screens are usualy different user control files (ascx) that are launched when you edit the module content. Since the page refreshes with the new page you have lost your place. Those module wrappers work fine for static content and some other controls but not for all controls.
IFrames can be used (DNN has one) to trade out content but that doesn't get rid of the probelms mentione above. I'm heavily invested in DNN, running the UCanUse.com web site so this isn't a slam on DNN. I just thought I'd try to answer the quesiton with detail.
