Folder Provider Permissions - Bug or Not? Started By Will Strohl Hello Everyone: I wanted to open this up to a general audience. I'm not sure of whether or not what I'm running into is considered to be a bug, or not. Without installing anything, you can use the Secure folder type to create a 'secure' folder in which you can assign user/role permission. This allows you to ensure that only intended people can access the file(s) in the respective folder. This seems to work well. Now... We've installed and attempted to use two different fold...	2	706	2	9/21/2023 4:16 PM by Will Strohl
Utility of the ADSI Authentication Provider in the web config Started By Stéphane Tétard Hi Upgrading an instance from DNN7.4 to DNN9.12, I've noticed that the web config still mentionned the ADSI Authentication Provider with the authentication part. But it seems that the corresponding dll doesn't exist anymore. My question is: does this web config section should be removed or is it in use in the latest versions This setting is also present in a fresh DNN 9.12 install.	3	638	1	9/19/2023 6:04 AM by Stéphane Tétard
Canonical link management in DNN Started By David Fenske Hi DNN fellows - I'm trying to appease requests from a new client that is used to managing things a certain way in a non-DNN world. The issue has come up is that the best-practice URL management setting to force all page URLs and HTTP requests to lowercase is messing with the plethora of marketing and tracking codes that they require. I've been adding regex snippets to the 'Keep in Query String Parameter' AUM setting, but sometimes the tracking values include mixed case letters. I've bee...	2	1383	2	9/14/2023 5:54 PM by David Fenske
Messaging Module Started By Michael Tobisch Hi all, I have a very long-living DNN installation (started with 4.9.5), and due to regular updates is now on 9.7.2. I installed the Telerik Identifier Module to prepare for the next step - and found this assembly: DotNetNuke.Modules.Messaging.dll As far as I can see, this belongs to the old Messaging module, which is not in use anymore (it was displaced by a module called 'Message Center', but obviously not uninstalled). I cannot uninstall this leftover from the UI, as it is marke...	3	2970	0	11/4/2020 2:53 AM by Michael Tobisch
Role Admin Not loading Started By PamR Hello, we have an older site running on DNN 09.08.00 that I inherited from a previous developer. Yesterday I went to make a change to the role configuration and discovered that the Manage menu has a link to nav_Roles instead of just Roles, and when you click on it it loads a blank screen. Similarly, the Settings menu has a link for nav_Connectors rather than Connectors, and that also loads a blank screen. All other admin menu items seem to be functioning normally. Has anyone seen this bef...	4	590	2	9/13/2023 10:32 AM by PamR

Files with the pptx extension are downloaded as .zip from an Azure Storage container. Started By Alejandro Hello everyone, I hope you are well. I'm using the Azure Storage provider, enabled the built-in Azure Storage connector, and then connected to an Azure blog storage location. Once the files are synchronized, when I go to download the files from my DNN site or with the URL provided by the FileManager, the pptx files are downloaded as .zip, if I change the .zip extension to that downloaded file and put pptx it opens good. Here I share some additional observations and results I got during testin...	2	1224	1	8/28/2023 7:13 PM by Alejandro
Website Popup (Please help if you can!) Started By traivabreedlove Hi guys! I'm currently working with a website created in DNN and I am trying to get a popup onto the home page---I am currently using Popupsmart for ease of use, but I have tried to install the javascript code and popupsmart is not recognizing that it is installed. I've tried two different ways of installing---via google tag manager and a content injection module. It is a custom-designed popup to collect lead info on potential new customers (pretty standard). I am attaching some images ...	10	2976	0	5/29/2023 4:06 PM by traivabreedlove
Changed portal alias giving 404 Started By Nutty About Hosting Hi, We need to change the portal alias (domain) for a DNN 9 site. Unfortunatley the host site settings sections is not working so we altered the domain name in the following tables in the db (as well as some redirects in the web config file) PortalSettings (DefaultPortalAlias) PortalAlias (New Record) The site now gives 404. We deleted cache files, recycled app pool etc but still the same. Anywhere else this needs updating Thanks :-) ps.
