Hello,

I don't have access to our website's server computer, but I am wondering if it's possible for me (as someone who can otherwise edit the websie, add and remove modules, etc.) to create conditions on a page. 

What I mean is, if only people named 'John' can buy tomatoes, the box to tick for tomatoes won't be selectable unless a name field equals 'John'. Pretty rough example but that's what I need. Thanks!

This doesn't sound like a DNN question. Are you using a specific module for this feature you're talking about? There are thousands of modules out there. 😎

I'm not sure; I'm woefully unfamilir with DNN. But these are the modules available to me:

Realizing another way I could have phrased my question is this: I need to enable and disable fields using code. Can I do that with one of these modules here, or is it a wash?

Nothing is a wash with DNN.  It just depends on one's skills, resources, and what extensions/modules you have available to you.  

If you have the ability to edit that page, you should do the following to determine what the module is.  

  1. Log in with editing access
  2. Navigate to the page
  3. Click the pencil icon in the left persona bar to go into Edit mode.  
  4. Hover over the module in question to see and find the actions menu that looks like a gear.  
  5. Choose the Settings option (also a gear icon). 
  6. In the first tab (Modules Settings), look in the Basic Settings section (make sure it's expanded). 
  7. You'll see a read-only field labeled Module.  This is the name of the module.  

Let's start there.  😎

Here you :) 

 

I am guessing that I'll have to create another module to interact with this one to get what I want to happen to happen. Is that right? 

Thanks for the help by the way!

That's what I was looking for.  This sounds like a custom module that may have been built for you.  Do you know who the developer is/was?  Do you have contact info for them and/or source code?  

You may be able to find some of that by viewing the Extensions in the persona bar, then clicking the edit icon next to that module.
