DNN Community Blog Layout on mobile Devices Started By Forro_54 Hi, I have come across 2 issues to do with the dmm community blog module formatting layout on mobile devices particularly Chrome. On Chrome browser the text on the main blog page(Title, Summary and Picture) the summary shifts to the right hand side and is only 2 or 3 words wide. If you set number of posts to show on main page, say to 4 (Title, Summary and Picture) the change page area at the bottom of the screen is not visible, ie: 1 2. I have tried this with the default Theme as well...	4	252	0	12/9/2025 6:37 AM by Forro_54
Users Online module still available? Started By D0rk52 Hi everyone, I’m trying to locate the old Users Online module for DNN. I remember using it in earlier versions to show currently active users on the site, but I can’t seem to find it anymore. Funny enough, I ended up converting it into a WordPress plugin just for personal use 😅 — but I’d love to have the original or something similar working natively in DNN again. WP Online Users Pro – AZ Managed IT Service LLC Was it deprecated or removed from the DNN ecosystem If anyone knows whe...	10	448	0	6/20/2025 12:30 PM by D0rk52
Core Modules Started By lirving I upgraded to 9.11.1 when i look at the extensions list there are a number of upgraded modules listed eg. I have events module 7.07 it says 8.03 is available . When i click the link it gos back to the upgrade page on the dnn site where I can download DNN but no modules available on that page.

New ASP Markup and HTML won't Render While Customizing Blog Module Started By Nick Guzi Hello, I am working within the Blog module to add a few customizations to my site. Interestingly any new HTML or ASP markup that I add to the module will not render at all. While looking in dev tools in Chrome its as if the changes I made never happened at all. I have already cleared the cache and restarted the application, as well as assuring that I am working within the right file. Does anyone have any ideas as to what could be blocking the new markup I want to add I tested this with a cow...	2	216	0	10/29/2025 8:25 PM by Nick Guzi
Format HTML Visualizer for Reports Module Started By Hans Zassenhaus We are running the latest releae of the Reports Module on DNN 09.13.9 and are trying to make sense of the use of the HTML Visualiser. I cannot locate a sample template that will run correctly. I have a SQL query that suplys correct information using the Grid Visualizer;l but would like rto use the HTML Visualiser.

Dependency Injection (DI) issue in classes inheriting from ModuleSearchBase Started By Mahmoud Nouraei Hello everyone, I'm currently developing a module for DNN and I've encountered a problem regarding Dependency Injection (DI) within my search components. The Core Problem My module's search controller class inherits from ModuleSearchBase. Challenge: I am unable to use Constructor Injection to inject my required services (such as IMyService or core DNN services) into this class. It appears that since ModuleSearchBase is a legacy base class, it is not instantiated by the core DNN DI...	3	252	2	11/25/2025 11:59 AM by Mahmoud Nouraei

Woke up wanting a DNN store Started By D0rk52 Hey everyone! Hope you’re all doing great. It’s been a while since I’ve tinkered with anything store-related in DNN, but figured I’d pop in and say hi before diving back into the chaos. Always good to see the DNN community still kicking! I woke up this morning and decided I wanted a store on my DNN site. Used to rock Catalook back in the day — remember that beast It was clunky, confusing, and somehow still kind of awesome. I went looking for what’s out there now and saw Hotcakes is lit...	9	719	2	10/8/2025 6:35 PM by D0rk52
