Site Asset Folders - Non-Indexable on Search Engines Started By Sydney Bailey Hi everyone! Is there a way to make all of the materials in an existing folder of our Site Assets to be non-indexable on Google and other search engines We have proprietary materials that are hosted on our site that are currently indexing on Google if you know how to search for them. It's my understanding that you can add a new folder to Site Assets and categorize it as 'Secure,' but I haven't found a way to mark an existing 'Standard' folder type to be 'Secure.' We'd like to avoid having to...	3	1529	3	4/5/2023 3:16 PM by Sydney Bailey
Newsroom Newbie Trying to problem solve Started By APS-Eric I recently began work for a non-profit (stamps.org) that runs a DNN CMS, and I have been put in charge of some content areas that I'd like to learn more about and understand so I can do even basic editing. No one on staff here knows anything about the way that modules, extensions, and apps really interact, and while I am marginally proficient now in very basic page editing, we have some issues going on, from my perspective - inside of modules or Apps that I cannot figure out how to access to edi...	2	1229	1	4/4/2023 10:47 AM by APS-Eric

Reset password page Started By AntonioG Hi DNN friends. There is some way to see the 'Reset Password' page from the login module but without disabling the pop-ups from 'Site Settings > Site behavior > More > Enable Popups', I would like to continue to be able to open the modals to configure the modules and style the 'Reset Password' page like the rest of the portal that I am developing. I think the following parameter can be used by adding it to the url: '&popUp=false', is there any specific user control to modify or configurat...	4	1861	2	3/1/2023 8:00 AM by AntonioG

Module advice Started By Profk Hi, My project is to create a markdown-based wiki with an unusual permissions model. (Basically, there is one common page that everyone can add links to and then they each have their own 'sub-tree' they can do what they want with but no one else can edit.) My question is what parts of this are already available as either built in functionality or extendable/hackable modules I'm new to DNN and I don't want to reinvent the wheel. Thanks	2	1146	2	1/17/2023 7:08 PM by Profk
~/login Layout Started By Zouhdi EI Abouti Good Morning, i have a custom welcome-page where users can log in. It has a custom skin and a page-specific css. The latter seems to be mandatory for the look of the login-popup. At my development enviorment i can go to dnndev.me/login and it shows my custom layout and uses the page specific css. At production it shows the Xcillion layout, but with that page specific css too. I would either want it to look like on my development enviroment or show the Xcillion layout without ...	5	1839	3	12/15/2022 6:27 AM by Zouhdi EI Abouti
