How to create new Custom Login Popup in Dotnetnuke 7? - dotnetnuke

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

DotNetNuke (DNN) and Hyperlink Manager "Track the number of times this link is clicked"

I have clients using the DNN CMS (Evoq Content 7.3.2) system and are questioning a specific area in the "Hyperlink Manager". There are two checkboxes (View image):
Track the number of times this link is clicked
Log the user, date and time for each click
If checked, where do we go to view these analytics?
I found resources online that mention we have to create an API for it, but are there any out-of-the-box solutions for this?
After some more researching, I solved my own problem and I wanted to share this with anyone who was looking for an answer to this.
For versions DNN 7.3.2 and lower, the Telerik RadTextEditor includes the feature as mentioned above. To view the analytics with an out-of-the-box method, simply return back to the link and open the "Hyperlink Manager" then navigate to the new tab called "Tracking".
Alternatively, I found developers can implement a control in a custom module called UrlControl. Refer to this link for more information: Link tracking information in html editor (DNN 7.1.2)
In DNN 8+, this feature no longer exists on the front-end UI. I'm not 100% sure if it's still usable or if this information gets migrated when upgrading from 7 to 8, though.

Admin Menu Vanished in Drupal 7

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.

How to create separate admin panel for customer in joomla 3?

I am working on a project where my client has no idea about joomla admin panel.
So I have decided to provide a separate admin pannel which my client can access and manage few things.
I am also having multiple pages and sub-pages in this admin panel.
Lets say I want to give multiple manage links.
manage item
sub-menu
manage item 2
I am little confuse how do I do it, once I thought about component and moduel but I don't know how to add menu links in components for front end.
I am using joomla 3.0.
Many thanks in advance.
If your intention is creating a backend alternative to joomla to control joomla's frontend, this is a hard thing to do if you are just a e-commerce website developer.
But if you need a different account other than your administrator account, you can add one account and edit it's privileges.
A second admin panel for easier use? sorry that sounds not good. Just do it like serhat above said. make a new account for joomla admin-panel. cut of the privileges so the user see only the things he has access to! its better then coding a fully new admin panel. there is already a fully configurable panel so why do another one?
Give the users just what they have to see and hide the rest (via admin-privileges)

DNN "Welcome to your new website" Pop Up

"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.

Salesforce: Adding items to 'Personal Setup' and 'Customize'

I am writing a simple salesforce app that requires app-level and user-level configuration. I have created custom objects for these settings, but cannot figure out how to add links to the Setup page (Personal Setup and Customize) so that the settings can be managed.
Quite a lot of research, and a question on a salesforce board, have left me none the wiser. I have seen a couple of scripts on the web that hack the setup sidebar with javascript (eg http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/95361) ... but this can't be the right way to do it surely?
Thanks
Jim
You are unable to do this without hacking because Salesforce want it so that you don't require over-explicit setup of any app you create - they want you to make it data-independent and in fact it may fail a security review if it is data dependent. It will also likely cause you headaches in correctly unit testing the app.
My suggestion would be to have a set of custom pages which are linked to on the home page for a user which display if they have no current values (so the first thing they see on the home page when they login for the first time is a "Hey, before you use this app you need to do some configuration through this handy wizard" and then block access to other areas of the app (i.e. display warning messages on other pages) if the app has not had this data setup.
That way you are not hacking and are providing a nice user experience around the extra setup.

DO you just want to add a new TAB on the top menu that links to the Edit page for your new sObject?
If so:
Goto setup https://cs3.salesforce.com/ui/setup/Setup
Click on 'Create' > 'Tab'
Pick the sObject you want the tab edit, the click next until you save the new tab.
There is no supported way to augment the Setup menu.
You should probably be using Custom Settings for what you are describing - they were designed for app-level and user-level configuration, and are available from Setup.
Otherwise, if it really is custom setup that requires fancier logic / UI / etc, you may want to do what many SFDC ISV's do and ship your app with its own configuration tab that's hidden, and/or custom VF page that manages app settings.
