Referencing DNN controls in module development Started By Plumbtrician Our company is currently evaluating DNN as a potential solution for our intranet CMS needs. We have in-house .NET devs and we are all struggling to get the module dev environments setup properly. I have spent about 16 hours so far trying to solve our current challenge, which is that we are unable to reference the DotNetNuke.dll library from within Compiled Module projects in order to use the DNN controls on the Visual Studio design surface for ascx project items. On my Windows 10 dev machine,...	3	2592	1	9/8/2021 10:47 AM by Plumbtrician
Custom DNN Module dynamic form Started By wizard I'm developing a custom module in DotNetNuke 9.9 using Chris Hammond's Module Templates (they're great btw). So far, everything is going well, but I've hit a brick wall with a specific customer requirement: They want to be able to dynamically add additional controls to the form - multiple file upload controls. An example of what I want to achieve can bee seen here: https://www.aspsnippets.c...and-VBNet-in-ASPNet/ For each file that is to be uploaded, they want a textbox to enter the descripti...		2171	1	8/30/2021 6:11 AM by wizard
Integrating Stripe's "Billing" service Started By Mark K Hi - I'm looking for any information in regard to integrating Stripe's 'Billing' service in DNN. Billing is Stripe's hosted option so all transactions and subscriber management happen off-site. We have found several modules that include using Stripe's API on-site, but nothing for the off-site, Billing service. Any advice, suggestion, etc is appreciated. Thank you.	1	1504	1	8/27/2021 3:27 PM by Mark K
Internal property is accessed from another assembly Started By Kent S DNN 9.9.1 I'm trying to create an extended version of the standard Html module. When I copy the module VS project and update the namespace & assembly name I get the error ''Globals.DependencyProvider' is inaccessible due to its protection level' in HtmlTextController, ln 54. This makes sense as it is marked as 'internal' in the DotNetNuke.dll assembly. What I don't understand is how the standard HTML doesn't have this problem - it is also in a separate assembly But I can compile the s...	2	1715	1	8/17/2021 9:08 PM by Kent S
Ajax call prompts for user name and password after logout Started By Dev Hello DNN Gurus, I have a module which sends Ajax calls to a Web API which is DNNAuthorize and has ValidateAntiForgeryToken set. All works well till the time users session is active. However once the user is logged out or user's session is timeout, the module when sending the ajax call will prompt a user name and password dialog (rather than redirecting to login screen). I dont want to show a user name password dialog to be shown to the user. I would prefer the user to be redirected to the lo...		2061	1	7/16/2021 6:18 PM by Dev

Admin instead of Page Theme loads on View Control Type. Started By Ken C I am working on enhancing an old asp.net C compile web module started from the Cristoc templates. The goal of this page is to embed in an iframe for use on other sites and I could create a whole new portal and put this page into it and select the admin page theme to be a minimalist theme with a single container but I'd rather figure out why DNN (8.0.3) is loading the admin skin instead of the default skin.
