Hello,

I am customizing DNN login control: DesktopModuels\AuthenticationServices\DNN\Login.ascx in this file I want to modify Username and Password labels for example here is the Username label:

<td class="SubHead" align="left"><dnn:label id="plUsername" controlname="txtUsername" runat="server" resourcekey="Username" />td>

I want to change the Username resourcekey but I can't find the associated .resx resource file. Where is this file. What I want to do is change the work User Name to Site ID

Thank you!

The file is \admin\Security\App_LocalResources\Signin.ascx.resx (version 4.9.3).

From the language editor, select Local Resources, Security, App_LocalResources

Thank you for getting back to me so quickly!

I should have mentioned that I am running v5.01. Unfortunately, it appears they may have changed the location between versions 4 and 5.

Thank you!

I'd look in the area I mentioned.  I'd hope that the signin.ascx moved to another directory.  If so, you should be able to find it easily.

Hello,

I searched the entire directory structure including library and website and there is no signin*.* file. I did find this file in my 4.8 install so I see what your were looking at. It must be somewhere or possibly DNN changed the file name for 5 but I have looked inside every resx file and no luck?

Thanks!

Lots of things have been moved around in Version 5.x because many formerly host or admin items can now be placed on other pages.

I think that what you are looking for now is in \DesktopModules\Admin\Authentication and you want to find the file that goes with Login.ascx. 

Hello and thanks for your support!

As it turns out, the solution was to enter new lines into the associated resx file in C:\Program Files\NCSCoreWeb501\Website\DesktopModules\AuthenticationServices\DNN\App_LocalResources\Login.ascx.resx

I added the .Text and .Help items for Username and Password as well as a new textbox control that I added and now show on this custom login module. Everything works and looks great.

In the absensce of these new resource lines, the DNN library will inject default values before the above login.ascx control is injected into the C:\Program Files\NCSCoreWeb501\Website\DesktopModules\Admin\Authentication\Login.ascx control. I could have intercepted and changed the values there but this is a much cleaner way to accomplish this.

Thanks again!

Be sure that you keep separate copies of all of your changes.  If/when you update DotNetNuke, you will overwrite then, and you may need to recreate them.  The same goes for any custom modifications that you make to Login or other DotNetNuke components.
