getting info from custom web.config for module
Greetings all, I've been working on modifying an existing custom module that we've written to make it more flexible during deployment and am having some issues with the vagaries of inheritance of config files through the application folder tree. I have created a custom web.config file in my DNN module folder under desktop modules that contains custom configuration information for the module so that we do not have to modify DNN root web.config when rolling the module out.  During page load, I request information from a custom section in the DNN module web.config via the NameValueSectio...

DotNetNuke Portal: Why nothing is changed after I customize the existing modules?
I am pretty new for asp.net and portal. Does any one can help me? I really appreciate. 1. I tried to modify some vb files for existing modules, i.e. register.ascx.vb, but nothing has been changed after I made the changes. I wondered if I have to compile it. How?

Optimized VS.Net Solution for custom modules + free modules
I like to leave the DNN core code untouched when I do my module development. Also, I like to work with a clean VS.Net solution which has my custom modules and none of the core projects. After playing around with it for some time, I have created a VS.Net Solution that allows me to do exactly that and I would like to share it with anyone interested. It's called "My Modules" and can be used to develop/debug DNN modules without requiring any core project references. I have blogged about my solution in detail and also posted it for download. In the download package, I have also inclu...

DNN 3.0 Custom User Registration
This topic has been discussed in great length in several threads as a lot of people (myself included) are looking for a solution for custom user registration. The new way of doing this in 3.0 is to use the new ASP.NET membership provider. Here is a situation I wanted to get some opinions on. What about adding more information AFTER the user is regististered. The use case would look like this: 1. User enters information in the current registration form 2. User submits information and gets saved in membership table 3. A custom hook redirects the user to a custom login form after su...

Customizing Module Help
I've seen some modules with on-line help and help dialogs. Example Users Online... What would be the easiest way to accomplish the following: Assume we created Help.Mysite.com ==> detailed documentation for various screens and modules installed or available at mysite.com.
