OK, hopefully I explain this well.  I have a module (Ventrian's News Article) that allows me to launch the links outside of other modules (Live Tabs).  When I do choose to launch links it puts the ctl in the url and I loose my menu, which is a module called xmenu and my banner which is an html module.

Is there any way to add these so that they display when the url includes the ctl?

Example at http://asa.bellevuene.org/YouthSoftball.aspx.  Click on any of the District tabs and open a news article to see what I am referring to.

Any help is much appreciated.

Is your menu a module as well?

Is your banner HTML module set to "publish on all pages", or is it manually pulled in via "publish existing module"?

The menu is a module and it is set to publish on all pages. The HTML module is not set to publish to all pages.

What version of DNN?

Emerson ^_^

you're site appears to be down...

Sorry about that. That was my test domain and I just switched it to the permanent....http://www.nebraskasoftball.org

Version 5.1.4 of DNN

Is this fixed now?

No, I still don't have a solution for this

Can you point me to a specific page on the site and particular problem?

Is there an option with this module to create a new page for each article versus using a dynamically created page. I know I have had some issues with dynamic news pages...

If you notice, your terms and privacy page do the same thing - even if you have "display on all pages" checked for the module.

Click any of the news articles and you will see the issue

Can anyone help with this?

I may be thinking a bit more clearly today ...

The "ctl" in the URL indicates that this is an "administrative" page.  The first question is ... why?  I believe that you are using Ventrian's News Articles module, but I don't know why the articles should appear in an administrative page.  You might want to look at how the module is configured, and also where the News Articles module is located.  This is the page on which the articles are actually displayed.

Also, look and see if the admin skin deletes the menu and/or the banner.

Knowing a bit more would help understand the problem, and its cure.

I should add that this might be related to the way that the module is embedded in the Live Tabs module. I have not used this module before.

I should also add that I have used the Ventrian News Articles module on a number of sites. I've never seen the article view come up in a "ctl" page.

My admin skin is the same as the site skin. Why or how would the admin skin remove the menu and banner?

I have also never had this happen before with Ventrian modules so I am at a loss right now. What other information do you require?

This is because the menu and banner content are modules, they are not in the skin.

Some pages that are created by dnn remove all but the content area specific items - terms, privacy, some modules. They also automatically use the home page skin, I beleive.

There may be a couple ways around this:
1) Do your menu modules have skin object versions? You can use these and they will appear anywhere since they are in the Skin. You may have to hard code the menu skin object and the html in the banner pane in the skin, at least on the home page skin.

2) Your module may have an option to set the page that is used for certain areas - I am not familiar with this module, but you could contact customer support.

While the idea of menu modules is great, they do still have issues, mostly due to the way DNN creates some of the dynamic pages.

Thanks.  That is a good answer. 

Now, the question is why do those pages appear to be admin pages?
