How do you change the layout of a page? Started By MikeDymond Hi I am very new to DNN but a reasonably experienced web developer and have some experience with Umbraco, however I am totally failing to understand how DNN works and how I can style my home page. I can go into Page Settings and click advanced and then appearance. Here I can apparently select different layouts, however clicking them and hitting save does not seem to have any effect. Also I cannot figure out how I would create a new layout, if I wanted to. It just seems that every page i...	6	6416	4	6/22/2020 2:28 PM by MikeDymond

Errors after upgrading to 9.6 Started By dsdardik I made this stack overflow post detailing my troubles after upgrading DNN to 9.1. I've since made the upgrade to 9.3 and then to 9.6 and the same error persists. All of the upgrades seem to have worked fine, but I still get a 500 response code on many resource requests. Most of the files being rejected are in my Portals folder, but there are other files that aren't loading as well. Any suggestions are much appreciated!	11	7984	2	8/3/2020 5:38 PM by dsdardik
Popup Skin in Xcillion Themes folder Started By Heilene Kia ora! I'm looking for information about what the popup.ascx skin in does and how it is used. It's included in the Xcillion themes package but I can't find any information on how to use it. I've come across information about the dnnModal.show which I can get to work but not sure if these are related. Any information will be greatly appreciated :)	4	2178	1	12/15/2020 6:00 PM by Heilene
Disabling the message and notifications options of the USER theme object Started By Bernard Ouellet I want to disable the messages and the notifications options of the USER theme object. I have searched the doc and have found nothing on this subject. Only the list of parameters of the theme object. Nothing in the settings menu seems to manage this. I've tried deleting the activity feed page (which I don't need in our case) and it does not help. I've tried deleting the associated items of the list found in the user.ascx file, but this causes an error in DNN. There is surely an option t...	9	3371	1	11/19/2020 3:53 PM by Bernard Ouellet

Css Ignored Started By Joyce Hello This is very strange, I have been working on my local DNN Instance (9.6.2) using nvQuicktheme template for a little while and everything so far has appeared fine. However, this evening I accessed the site via localsite.dnndev.me/ as usual, but all the css styling, navigation bar, persona bar, theme colours, had all dissappeared throughout the site. None of the theme or module styling is displaying. I tried viewing in a different browser but the results are still the same. All the styl...	7	2836	3	8/10/2020 4:53 PM by Joyce
Custom breadcrumb control Started By Miguel Vaz Hello, I am trying to replicate and extend the native breadcrumbs control. I have made a copy of the files but in the code behind, I am not able to compile the code because it uses Globals.DependencyProvider that is marked as internal to the platform. This is used to get the INavigationManager. In this PR ( https://github.com/dnnsof...n.Platform/pull/2795 ) is the correct way of using DI, using the correct base classes, but for what I can see, this was not implemented in the SkinObjectBase...	5	3425	2	8/5/2020 3:24 PM by Miguel Vaz
