I'm new to DotNetNuke, I want to know how to add menu in Housemenu module and how to customize its layout. Where can I find the css used for this module? Or if you can give me a link of FREE tutorial in using Housemenu that would be very cool. I've already searched for tutorials but there's only one tutorial that I found but it needs payment. :(
Thank you and your help is very much appreciated.
I am pretty sure HouseMenu module doesn't work with DotNetNuke 6, but you can find the information about the module at houseofnuke.com.
I would recommend using the DDRMenu or the DNNNav menu within DotNetNuke 6. I have an example skin at http://multifunction.codeplex.com that uses the DNNNav menu in a DNN6 skin.

I know that DNN doesn't support inserting of one module inside another one. But I wonder if 2sxc module has workaround for it and just like you can, lets say, insert gallery application in blog post content, is there a way to insert there external module object?
The short answer is no. 2sxc doesn't have this functionality built in.
BUT: DNN does have some APIs to do this - there were modules that did this kind of stuff. So I would continue in the DNN APIs to figure out how to do this.
I believe that the answer is yes, and that you should take a look at https://docs.2sxc.org/api/dot-net/ToSic.Sxc.Dnn.Factory.html. I think that you should be looking at CmsBlock.

I've never done anything like this, and I'm not really familiar with the content on this page. Perhaps Daniel and give us both some pointers.
I have experience with drupal but not DNN.
I am interested in seeing if DNN has a module or the ability to have a page that each individual user with an account on my dnn site can arrange the modules on their home page. Sort of like a widget system where users can drag modules around or hide them if they choose. However, as the admin, i'd like to limit which modules they can have access to and move.
In drupal, there is a module called "homebox" that allows for this.
To the best of my knowledge the answer is not out of the box.
That said it would be possible to develop something and there may be something available at store.dnnsoftware.com that would do this for you.
not a lot of help but it may save you some time looking for stuff hat is not there.
How do I create a module for DotNetNuke v6 in Visual Studio 2010 which connects to a database, without using a DataSource control ?
I am a beginner in DotNetNuke and I want to fully understand how to create modules. I have referred Google and I found two links which I think are good, but I need a simple example that includes better comments and connects to the database without using a DataSource control.

I've been following the tutorial videos for DotNetNuke and i am at the part where i am now creating my own modules. I've installed everything i need to and put the template in the required folder, but whenever i try to create a project it comess up saying
"The local IIS URL http://dnndev/desktopmodules/... specified for Web project ... has not been configured"
It then asks me to create a virtual directory but says i cant because the server "http://dnndev" is not on the local machine.
I've searched for answers for a while now and have tried editing the template file and the host file but no matter what i try i always get the same message back. Does anyone know how i can fix this?
Thanks
If you follow these steps for setting up your Development environment than the templates should work as is.
http://www.dotnetnuke.com/Resources/Wiki/Page/development-environment.aspx
If you are using a different path for your website I would recommend customizing the templates.
http://www.dotnetnuke.com/Resources/Wiki/Page/Customize-Project-Template.aspx
I assume you are using dotnetnuke wiki page link which seems confusing. For better steps go to: http://www.dotnetnuke.com/Resources/Blogs/BlogID/16.aspx and locate "Let's Build a Module #1 - Project Introduction" which is a first video in step by step series of videos which will help you to clearly understand the process.
Let me know if you need more help.
I have around ~40 custom modules and a custom skin on a DotNetNuke site that I have created. I tried updating it to 5.0 and got a few exceptions.
I want to see what the effort would be to convert a bunch of modules and a skin to work in DotNetNuke 5.0. I cannot find anything specific using Google. Any experiences or resources you have had would be great.
Here is a blog post about packaging modules for DotNetNuke 5.
Also converting skin package of DotNetNnuke 4.x to DotNetNuke 5.x seems to be what you are looking for.
In regards to the custom skin, there's a blog post from Nina Meiers that goes into a bit of detail on how to get a legacy skin to work in DNN 5. In the end I don't think she got it to work and it doesn't look like it'd be a trivial task however so I'd be prepared to put in some hours to learn how it works under the covers.
I know nothing about the modules however.
When I was testing my site to upgrade to DNN5, all but one of my custom modules worked without changing a thing. Our skin worked fine as well. So one skin and 8 or 9 modules worked great. The broken module has a dependency on a third-party module I am waiting on an update to.
