Hi Guys,
this is my pb:
i created a new skin and container and installed them using site wizard. I can log to the site, but, i can't access the admin and host submenu, so, i can't use anything like the sitewizard again, or, the portals or anything else to go back to the old site. I'm really lost, please help!

| I assume that there is something wrong in your skin. But, I'm guess that you know that, too. I'd suggest comparing your skin with some that are known to work. In particular, look at the implementation of the control panel and the navigation. |

| yeahh, i added a [MENU] token in the top of my site, so now, i can access easily the admin and Host pages, but i can't add links. It seems they are automatically added with the [MENU] token, but i would like add some links. It is possible with this token? the [LINKS] token add automaticcaly links to (excepts admin and host). |

Hi Lee, thanks to answered.
I was giving you more details about what i try to do when i found a simple solution.
What i wanted, is a menu with some links to some pages of my website and i didn't want to have all links included automatically in the menu, but i think, i will just have to uncheck "Include In Menu? " when i'll create the pages i don't want in the menu. |

The Snapsis menu will allow you to explicitly select the pages to be included. But, you have to do that in the skin file.

I would recommend that you use the approach of checking and unchecking the "Include in Menu" box to include pages in the navigation.
If you were to go the Snapsis Menu route, you can specify pages to use directly in the skin's ascx file. I don't necessarily recommend this if you do not have the experience to work with such files. |

I think I have a similar situation but I am still using the original Community skin. That is becuase I can not get to the Site Setting page.
When I go to Admin > Site Settings I get a totally blank module.
Any thoughts what I can do? |

Which version of DotNetNuke are you using?
Is this a new install, or is this something that just started happening?

Thanks for asking. It is the new Community Edition 05.01.00 (773) It is a new install. I never did anything with this as the Host until yesterday except I added portals to the host and they work fine. No skin added to the host acct yet
I log in as Host - go to http://www.stephenesands.com/Admin/SiteSettings.aspx and nothing is there.
Any thoughts? |

Since this is a new installation, you could delete it and install the current version (5.2).
If you don't want to reinstall, then upgrade to 5.2 and see if that helps.

I am concerned about deleting and reinstalling 5.2 as I have other portals under this account. (Would it bother them?)
But I did upgrade and nothing changed. Yje other portals work fine it just seems to be on the main one that I can't see that page.
By going into Admin > Pages and clicking to Edit the Site Setting (Page Settings ) I can see setting for the page. Is there something there that might be causing the problem? Everything looks fine but it still does not show. As you can imagine, I can't change the skin or even add a logo.
Thoughts? |

There was a problem with one version -- maybe it was 5.0 -- that set the SSL settings incorrectly, and this made the host and admin pages inaccessible.
If you can login as host at another of the portals for this installation, then go to the Host SQL page and execute this:
select * from tabs
Look at the host and admin tabs for the portal in question. If they are marked IsSecure, then you will want to set them to not IsSecure. Do this with the SQL:
update tabs set IsSecure= false where PortalId=0 (assuming that this is Portal 0)
If you are using SSL for some pages, it may be necessar to reset it for those pages.
Disclaimer -- I think that this is the way to do it and I'm reconstructing from memory. If that doesn't work, let me know and I'll try to dig a bit deeper.

We tried this and it seemed that the settings were correct. But there is no change. Now I found that on other portals in that account other things are happening strangely.
If I go to Host > Host Settings OR any other dropdowns...nothing shows up. Admin is the same way.

With the transition to making the host and admin pages more like "normal" pages, it is now much easier to damage things ...
