Creating Login & Register links in DotNetNuke

October 27th, 2009, Erik Hinds

Sometimes you may want to use a text/html module to display login and register links to unathenticated users. This is actually quite easy using the standard text/html module, with token replacement turned on.

  1. Start by adding a new text/html module to your page.
  2. In the module settings, change the display to “Unauthenticated Users”.
  3. In the module settings, check the box for “Replace Tokens” at the bottom of the form, click update.
  4. Select Edit Text (or Edit Content) and switch to the source (HTML) view. Paste in the code below:

    <p>To view this section, you must be a registered member of this site.</p>
    <a href=”[Tab:FullUrl]?returnurl=[Tab:FullUrl]&amp;ctl=login”>Login</a>
    <a href=”[Tab:FullUrl]?returnurl=[Tab:FullUrl]&amp;ctl=register”>Register Now</a>

  5. Click update.

The important parts to these links are the current tab url token [Tab:FullUrl] and specifying the ctl parameter. The former builds the link and tells the register/login forms where to redirect after submission. The latter loads the page with only the appropriate control, stripping out all other modules that would normally be on the page. This snippet can be used on any page on your site, since it’s dynamically grabbing the page/tab URL.

These are just some of the users for the token replacement engine in the text/html module, which can turn a normally static module into something a little more dynamic.

Here are some more tokens that can be utilized:

Are you filling time or just killing time?

October 27th, 2009, Paul Presnail

We all reach a point at work where we have time on our hands. Sometimes it’s just a couple of hours. Sometimes it may be longer. Either way, working or not, you’re still on the clock – and the payroll. Things like Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, Flickr and other social media portals give us plenty of ways to fill time, but they don’t necessarily fill the company coffers.

It’s vital to remain productive even (and especially) when things get a bit slow. You may think you have no work to do, but you’re wrong. What you have is a perfect opportunity to work on coming up with new ideas.

Down time is the perfect time to catch up on your business periodicals and check up on what the competition is doing. Take a look at industry web sites. You’re almost guaranteed to find something you can put to use for your clients. Look at your own website. Does it still accurately represent your brand? Just like anything else that doesn’t get regular attention, web sites can quickly gather dust.

Try on a new hat and change your mind-set. If you’re in management, grab a fedora from the creative department and think about new ad ideas for your clients. Conversely, if you’re a writer, art director or some other type of “creative” person, put a ten-gallon account executive hat or public relations’ Stetson on your creative mind and try to come up with fresh ways to prospect for new clients and expand your current accounts. 

The point is there’s no such thing as free time at work. Find productive ways to keep yourself occupied and you’ll probably find you keep your job, as well.
