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

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.

I'm hoping someone can help direct me with troubleshooting for my portfolio page. I'm currently having issues with a few things and I'm not sure why or how to deal with them. Whenever I try to view them in tablet/mobile views on the deployed link the layout is completely different than when I run a live server with npm start.
The first issue about section in mobile and tablet views displays each paragraph in columns and the black background doesn't cover all of the text or the image.
The second issue is the contact page doesn't display the links on mobile even though the text color is set to black and the contact header doesn't show up on the page.
It was made in React. Below will be the deployed link and link to the github.

I would really appreciate any help or guidance on sorting this out.
Thank you.
first piece of advice is that you have used TOO MUCH CSS, please use only what you really need. You don't need every css property to use on every element.
Your text/paragraphs are showing in column as their parent's display style is set first as inline and then flex. Either don't use it or write display: block
So the problem is simple:
Translated home page is not connected to any site. Everything is working kind of properly, I can open translated pages manually like this: /en/.... But for example there is no LIVE button on the translated page, to which i'm used to.
This is the main home page, my site defaults to.
And this is translated home page.
Also in the explorer, it shows a warning that this page is not connected to any site, which I think should not be.
Here in the red boxes it was written in what language each page is.
This is not a very big deal, but it's a little bit annoying and I'm planning to release this site in production soon, so editors may not understand which page to edit. How can I fix this? Maybe there is a way to change something in the database, so translated home pages are properly connected to the main home page?
I tried to delete database and remigrate everyting(which by the way gave me this error, I fixed it by adding locale_id=1 to the migration), nothing worked. I think this happened when I changed LANGUAGE_CODE from en-us to ru-ru, I'm not sure, but deleting and remigrating database should have fixed it but it didn't. :(
Somebody with 1500 reputation please create a wagtail-localize tag xD
Of course, posted a question, answer came up... Nevermind, I think many people will find this Q&A useful.
So the problem was in wagtail_localize.locales app, I changed it to wagtail.locales and everything is working now, I thought these apps are basically the same thing, but I was wrong.
.url function on pages was not working too because of this issue. Just replace the app!
Hope this helps! :P
"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'm a complete COMPLETE noob at Drupal.
I've been handed a large very customized Drupal 7 site after our admin quit. I have tons of WP experience, but zilch in Drupal.
I've been asked to edit a page that exists at:
http://my.drupalsite.com/[page]
The page functions only to redirect to:
http://my.othersite.com/
But, I need to change part of the way it redirects. Normally (as in, the one other time I did it) to edit a Drupal page, I just go to the page logged in as an admin and click "edit". Since this is a redirect page, I can't really do this. The /admin/content section has 83 pages of 25 items each with no way for me to search on anything and no way to tell from what the guy called the page as to what page actually does this redirect. I'll be a monkey's uncle if I'm going to click on every darn one of them and then click the "URL path settings" tab at the bottom to see which one of these suckers is the page I'm after.
Surely this is simple for even a typical Drupal novice... like I said though, complete noob.
Any ideas? Thanks!
There are a few modules that can handle redirection or even simple editing of a path.
You can look at pathauto
https://drupal.org/project/pathauto
On that page you should find other recommendations such as the Global Redirect & Redirect modules. I'm pretty sure some of these modules will simplify your task. You should be able to take an existing path and redirect it to wherever you wish, without having to dig in each URL alias on the node edit page.
It's always difficult to give specific advice without knowing more, but , for instance, Pathauto can help you change the path of a specific content type to a specific pattern. That can come very handy if you need to change a bunch of pages with a similar structure.
I want to have two separate interfaces to my website, one that is silverlight, and one that is normal html for people who don't have Silverlight, and for search engines. They would have exactly the same content, the Silverlight one would just be a richer experience.
If someone with Silverlight copies the URL to a certain page, it will have a '#' in it (app#page1). If they then want to link to that page on their blog or something, it will have the # in it, and a search engine probably wouldn't consider it as a separate page from app#page2.
Is there any way to make the navigation from within Silverlight update the URL with a '/' instead of a '#', without actually loading a separate page? This way the URLs in the address bar appear like a normal websites' URLs ('app/page1', 'app/page2').

Unfortunately, no. The reason that Silverlight navigation URLs use # is that you can move around within a page by moving to an anchor location. If you used a full URL with '/' separators, it would cause the browser to navigate to a new page, which would reload your Silverlight application. This would basically unload your Silverlight application, and load a new one with the new URL.
The reason they use the # sign is because this is interpreted by the browser as moving to a location in the page, otherwise would reload the page.
As far as search engine implications I'm not sure either way. Maybe someone more experienced with SEO can chime in on that.
However I'm sure you can get the behavior you're looking for, just may take some trickiness on your end. Another way pass information to the Silverlight client runtime is using Query String parameters. You can access query string params using the System.Windows.Browser.HtmlPage.Document.QueryString collection, you could then load the Page or User control with the content you desire based on that parameter.
As far as mimicking a folder structure using '/'s. I know there are ways to do this using custom web server settings / HTTPModules. I assume you're using IIS/ASP.Net, I would look into this from Guthrie:
http://weblogs.asp.net/scottgu/archive/2007/02/26/tip-trick-url-rewriting-with-asp-net.aspx
Takes a bit of hackery, but if you're really set on doing it I'm sure you could. You will also face the things the above poster mentioned, if you attempt to do use the same logic during a session. This may work though for just the deep linking aspect you're looking for.
