\admin\skins\app_localresources\login.ascx.resx

Sebastian is right (even if this is exactly the file you mentioned in your post), and I wonder why you did not find the text there. There are only two keys in this file, Login.Text and Logout.Text. Three guesses which of these two is the correct one ;-)

Happy DNNing!

PS: you might need to check the skin applied to your site, the login control call might include a button text, which overrides the text from the resource file.

Thanks for your replies.
Michael, of course I saw the text for the Login in \admin\skins\app_localresources\login.ascx.resx but what I was trying to say is it doesn't work. No matter what I enter it does not change the text on my pages.
I think Sebastian might be right and I will now check the login control call on my skin (Mandeeps Porto).
Thank you both for your help.

According to the skin developer (Mandeeps Porto 5), it is NOT overriding the DNN resource files.

Is there a way, I can track down where the Login text is coming from if it is NOT -
\admin\skins\app_localresources\login.ascx.resx
Will the html code give me a clue?
Thanks

Hi,

I am not aware of a way to track it (except turning on tracing and knowing what to do with this information maybe - I have never tried that for this purpose). You have to inspect the skin file. It should use the DNN Login control, therefore you should find a reference somewhere on the beginning of the ascx file that reads:

<%@ Register TagPrefix="dnn" TagName="LOGIN" Src="~/Admin/Skins/Login.ascx" %>

If the skin uses another login control, you should find the resx file in a folder called "App_LocalResources" in the same folder as the ascx file. E.g. if you find a refence to

<%@ Register TagPrefix="custom" TagName="LOGINLOGOUT" Src="~/DesktopModules/Custom/Controls/LoginLogout.ascx" %>

the resx file is named LoginLogout.ascx.[xx-yy.]resx and in the folder DesktopModules/Custom/Controls/App_LocalResources. (xx-yy = culture code).

Another way to accomplish this is using Notepad++ or something alike and search in files for

[value xml:space="preserve"]Logout[/value]

or

[value]Logout[/value]

or

]Logout[

(replace [ by < and ] by >)

You may start the search in the root of your DNN installion, include subdirectories and filter to *.resx files - in Notepadd++ this is working fine...

Happy DNNing

The skin developer now tells me that it does override the dnn resource file and I’m now waiting for a solution from them.
Thanks for your help.
