Front-end Developer Role Configuration Started By John Wolf Friends, I would appreciate your advice on best practices for setting permissions for super-users to create and develop pages. We have an extensive global member site that includes many departments and teams. Some have folks with the design and coding skills to create and manage what effectively function like sub-sites within our main portal. These members are beyond content managers but we don't want to make them admins. In DNN, can we configure roles to allow users to create pages and ...	8	423	1	5/9/2024 9:57 AM by John Wolf
Azure - Multiple Instances Started By Damian Black We have a site that is running 2 instances (scale out) within Azure web app, that when updating content isn't flowing through on the other instance. This occurs with new content/module, editing an existing module and adding a new pages. If you restart the application or change any of the cache settings it appears to flow through the new content, but then any updates after this are not. Has anyone come across this and have a solution, or are there any recommendations for running a site with...	1	407	0	5/9/2024 1:23 AM by Damian Black
Date picker / Date entry Started By LisaF Hi - total newbie.... we have a site that has a few date fields and they are formatted using Telerik RadCalendar control. What other ways are there of entering dates on a DNN site If anyone can point me to any documentation that would be great. We would be happy with just entering DD/MM/YYYY instead of using a picker at all - the main thing we need to achieve is to remove the name of the month.... Thanks!

DNN Messaging and Notification emails not being sent Started By Timo Breumelhof. I realize this is a bit of an edge case, but that's also the reason I want to post this. We had an issue on a client site where some users did not receive the email notifications that should have been sent out, on DNN internal (Social) notifications and messages. All the settings seemed to be fine, the messages show up on the user profile page, but no email were sent out. We checked the DNN code and found two “conditions” for these emails to be sent. DNN only sent out emails of un...	3	763	0	4/24/2024 5:09 PM by Timo Breumelhof.
Migrated ASMX Handler Returning 404 Error Started By Will Strohl I have a site where there is an existing ASMX handler service that I need to ensure still works. The path is as shown below. ~/system/services/existinghandler.asmx/EndpointName (domain removed so the forums doesn't parse the URL path) As you can see, there is an existing path that I need to try and maintain, system/services. Why is DNN intercepting this request and how would you go about forcing DNN to ignore the URL so the handler can process the request	7	574	0	4/23/2024 12:37 PM by Will Strohl
Asset Manager Taking Forever to Load? Started By Will Strohl I have a 9.13.1 site that will be upgraded soon, and it started as 9.13.1. Right now, we have a major performance issue when attempting to load the Site Assets page. Every single time you attempt to load the page, we have to wait upwards of a minute before the file manager view begins to load. I did a query of records for the files and folders tables, and each has under 25k records. This doesn't sound like a large number of records, but maybe the code isn't prepared for this many files/fol...	6	566	0	4/23/2024 5:44 PM by Will Strohl
