| If you login as Host or Admin, you will have a control panel from which you can add modules to pages. |

blanketstream,
I am glad you posted this as I have a similar issue. When I access the login page, it has the skin I asked for, but not any of the modules. For example, I have a top banner that would change from page to page, so I did not embed it in my skin. Instead, I have a module where I can add a different banner on each page. However, since I can't figure out how to add modules or apply templates on the login page, it simply has my menu and the login functionality. This looks really unprofessional!
It appears the login page is built dynamically by DNN, but it seems like there should be a way to access the settings on how this page is build.
Perhaps there is a way to change the code behind the login token to point to a page we create, instead of this default login page that DNN creates. This would allow us to layout the resulting login page however we see fit.
blanketstream - I will keep searching for an answer and will post it if I find it. Please do the same you figure it out on your own.
Thanks!

There is no need to modify any code.
You should create a new page and add the login module to it. That page will pick up the site skin. You can add other modules to the page if you like. Set the page to be visible to all users, including unauthenticated users, and also set the page so that it is not included in the menu.
Then, go to Site Settings, open up Advanced Settings, and then select your new page as the Login Page.
That should do it.
Note that there are actually four pages that can be specified this way. If you go to User Settings, you'll find some other page customization that you can do.)
(If you don't have a custom login page, the standard DotNetNuke Login page uses the site's Administrative Skin rather than the portal skin. That is probably why yours doesn't have the right styling -- assuming that your Portal and Admin skins are different. I believer that this is different in Version 5 of DotNetNuke, to be released "soon."
Also, ALL DotNetNuke pages are bult dynamically.)

Jncraig,
Thanks for the reply. I was just coming back to post this answer as I found an old thread where Lee had these instructions. I am new to DNN and did not realize there was the option where the page could be defined for login in the site settings.
I already tried this and it works great!
While we are on the topic, what do the settings for "Splash Page" and "User Page" control?

A splash page is shown when someone first comes to the site. From the online DotNetNuke documentation:
"Enable
or disable a custom built splash page for this portal. When a visitor
first comes to the standard URL of your portal, that is the main URL
(E.g. http://www.domain.com or http://www.domain.com/default.aspx)
rather than a specific page (E .g.
http://www.domain.com/ContactUs/tabid/103/Default.aspx) the Splash Page
will be displayed."
Also ...
"The
user page is where registered users maintain their account details,
password and services. By default DNN portals use a standard User
Account page which only includes the User Account modules. This page
cannot be edited, however you can design and set your own User Account
page. If no page is selected then DNN will use the default User
Account page." |
