Why hide the Admin and Host menus?

In many skins applied to a DNN web site, the menu's real estate is limited.  In fact, the root menu is usually intended to hold a specific number of pages.  When an Admin or Host logs in, additional menus appear in the root. In this example, they are forced to wrap to the next line, breaking te style of the site.

 

There have been other options, such as using a third-party menu that can give more control of the menu. DNN 5 provides an easier approach.

Hiding the menus

  1. In the Control Panel, in the upper right, select Admin.


     
  2. In DNN 5, both the Admin and Host pages display a list of the pages beneath them.  Since these are always available from the Control Panel, the 



     
  3. On the Admin page, click Settings.  On the Admin page's settings, deselect Include in Menu.


     
  4.  Repeat for Host page.

 

Now the Admin and Host pages will not appear in the site's menu.  They are accessible through the Control Panel.

2 days  ($500 per day)

Upcoming Classes: Sep 24-25 ; Nov 12-13  register 

 
This course will span 2 days (16 hours) and teach developers already working in C# or VB.NET and Visual Studio 2008 how to build powerful DotNetNuke modules. The course will cover best practices in project setup, Core DNN properties and methods of value, and packaging and deployment of the module for both internal use and public use (resale). 

Prerequisites:

  • Intermediate .NET development experience
  • Visual Studio 2008 or greater
  • Basic SQL Server experience

Audience: This course will benefit Microsoft .NET developers who will be creating web applications and modules in DotNetNuke.

At course completion:
Students will be able to:

  • Have a solid understanding of the DNN modular architecture
  • Understand how to develop custom DNN modules
  • Understand best practices for module usage
  • Know how to package and deploy DNN modules

The partnership allows Ingen Systems to contribute in-depth, real-world implementation experience, consulting, and training of DotNetNuke, with TekFocus adding years of experience providing superior .NET training experience.

DotNetNuke (DNN) is a web content management system and application development framework which enables businesses to quickly build and deploy feature-rich websites and applications in Microsoft .NET.  DNN is the world’s most widely adopted framework for building web solutions on Microsoft Windows Server. It powers over 400,000 portals, intranets, extranets and public websites. An enthusiastic open source community of more than 700,000 registered members supports the platform.

“Business adoption of DotNetNuke is increasing at an unprecedented rate,” said Jason Kergosien, president of Ingen Systems. “Our goal is to provide premium DotNetNuke training based upon best practices from industry experts, tied with the excellence of TekFocus training.” 

“We are very exciting for this opportunity to join with Ingen Systems in bringing a higher-level of training to a much needed environment,” said Miguel Wood, president of TekFocus.

During September, Ingen Systems and TekFocus will offer 5-days of DNN training, including portal administration, skinning, and development. Attendees will learn best practices of using the DNN web platform, install, configure, skin, and extend DNN. Course offerings include:

What if you want to go the other way and create a package from an installed module?  Normally you can do this by doing the following:

  • Log in to the site as a super user
  • Go to Host > Module Definitions
  • Click the pencil next to the module you want to package
  • Click the "Create Module Package" menu option
  • Then can choose your options of the package. 
  • The new module package will be saved in the /Install/Module folder

Alas, this only works locally (i.e. your web site is running on your local machine).  If you try to package a module on an external website, the "Create Module Package" menu option is not available.

Here's a work-around for this:

Then, you can go through the packaging process.
