Hey friends.

Let's see if can anyone help me with my application.
I'm using DNN to build a portal. The portal HomePage is completely different of the content of default DNN.
I'm traying to use a Javascript framework (Mootools - http://www.mootools.net/) inside a HTML Text Module, but it's not working.
I tried to find out some possible answears to my problem reading some forums here, but noone was able to solve my problem.

The main questions are: How can I put to work a simple Javascript inside a HTML Text Module? Which pages of DNN should I modify?

If you want to see exactly what I'm trayng to do, you can acces the html page on my Company Server: http://devcenter.essencebr.com/vito...index.html
The problem is what you can find under the "Nossos Produtos" lable (the language of the website is Portuguese).
The rest of the page is already done.

Thanks in advance.

Hello, Rogrigo!

I don't see anything on your site that can't be done with DotNetNuke, and it's certainly possible to use Javascript with DotNetNuke.

Probably the first hurdle that you'll need to jump is getting familiar with DotNetNuke - the framework, the concepts, etc. To that end, I'd recommend that you start reviewing the "beginners" level of tutorials here. Just start, view them with an open mind, and don't try too hard to see how you'd use them right away.

Let the ideas settle into your brain first. You might even want to install a copy of DotNetNuke and build simple site or two, get some experience adding pages, modules, skins, and containers ... and rearranging them all.

Then com back to javascript.

A very simple answer is that you can paste javascript right into a text/html module if you make sure that the editor is in a "source" mode. I prefer to use the "header" of the module, mainly so that the javascript doesn't get mixed in with the text or html ...

Please ask lots of questions.

Here is a site that uses javascript and Lightbox to achieve a very non-DotNetNuke looking DotNetNuke site: http://staging.freedomyears.com:84

And, having seen Sebastian Leupold's answer to you over on the DotNetNuke forum, I think that's also a good approach. If there's lots of javascript, it's likely a much better approach, and will be available on all pages because it's built into the skin.

Joe, thank you for the reply.

I have tried your tips. And so I tried Sebastian Leupold's. But it still not working

Here's exactly what I'm doing:
I have created a new skin called "Home.ascx" and put it on the folder "Portals/_default/Skins/". After that, I changed the settings of my HomePage inside DNN to point to that new Skin.
Everything worked but the JS.
So, I followed Leupold's tips and put all the 3 ".js" files inside the same folder above.

Inside "Home.ascx" file I called the scripts this way:

Ups, sorry placing the code here!

Here's the same post.

"File attached (scripts.jpg)"

No success at all!

Just to say I tried everyting, I also tried to call that inside the "Default.aspx" page. But... of couse it didn't work.

To finish, I tried to call that inside the HTML/Text module, like you said, using the editor in "source mode". It didn't work eighter.

As you can see, I tried everything!

Unless I didn't understand your tips, I think I'm in trouble with DNN.

Please... If you have another option, tell me! I would appreciate.

Thank you very much.
