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 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

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.)
I recently applied a new skin to one of our existing DotNetNuke CE sites. The upgrade of the site worked, but when I add a brand new page (not imported) to the site there are some issues.
DotNetNuke attempts to copy content from my Slogan Pane, and Top Pane when I add a new page. However, it creates multiple copies of each (about 25 of each module in each Pane). I then have to take my new TabID, go into the TabModules table, and manually delete the duplicate rows to get the new page correct.
I am sure there is a template file somewhere that DotNetNuke is utilizing to create new pages. I hope to be able to modify this file to stop the problem or point DNN to a different file to use for default page creation. Does anyone happen to know where this template is? Barring that, is there any way to interrupt/modify the new page process (without source code mod) to fix the issue?
Thank you
Page Templates are stored in the Portals/# folder, where # is the ID of the folder. They can be within ANY folder inside of there, so you might have to dig around a little bit.
I would guess that you perhaps created a page template, and it has the 25 modules in it, but you also have those modules set to "display on all pages" so that is where the duplication comes from.
I'm using DotNetNuke for the first time and I am unable to locate the URL of the pages I add.
I've attempted Google-ing it and clicking every link to look for the URL being listed somewhere and I'm having no luck. How can I locate these pages?
Thank you.
If you go to the Admin/Pages page (might be called Page Management) you can find a list of all the pages on your site. You can right click on a page and choose "View" to view the page, then copy the URL from the browser
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.
