Hi All, I want to use the default Edit Content button instead of that highly rubbish control arrow you normally find in the top left of an html module you have dropped on a page. By default, when you install DNN, it comes with the Edit Content options to the lower right (see attached screen shot). Can someone tell me how I would go about adding this to my modules. Every time I have done an install and applied my own skins, I seem to lose this functionality. Many thanks

If you look at the source of a container such as one of the Minimal Extropy containers, you will see these lines in the ascx file:
< dnn:ACTIONBUTTON runat="server" id="dnnACTIONBUTTON1" CommandName="AddContent.Action" DisplayIcon="True" DisplayLink="True" / >
< dnn:ACTIONBUTTON runat="server" id="dnnACTIONBUTTON2" CommandName="SyndicateModule.Action" DisplayIcon="True" DisplayLink="false" / >
< dnn:ACTIONBUTTON runat="server" id="dnnACTIONBUTTON4" CommandName="ModuleSettings.Action" DisplayIcon="True" DisplayLink="false" / >
The first is the Edit Content, and the last is the Module Settings link.
You will also see a collection of ACTIONBUTTONS at the top of the container. I would recommend that you keep the dropdown menu as it contains other useful links.

Hi Joe,
The problem I seem to be having is that something's gone wrong with the skin file and I'm unsure of how to fix it since it was working not too long ago.
If I check the event viewer of DNN, this is the error I am getting:
Message
: DotNetNuke.Services.Exceptions.ModuleLoadException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object. ---> System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object. at DotNetNuke.UI.Containers.ActionBase.get_ActionRoot() at DotNetNuke.UI.WebControls.SolPartActions.BindMenu() at DotNetNuke.UI.WebControls.SolPartActions.Page_PreRender(Object sender, EventArgs e) --- End of inner exception stack trace
I know that the actions button is not coming up but I am unsure of what to look for if it was working not too long ago and there's been no change made to the skin files recently.
The only thing we have done recently, is to copy an html module from another page which included it's content, le etc.
Appreciating the help.
Cheers

Hi Joe,
Yes, you can have a look at the site here:
bit.ly/aIy7z4
Let me know if you need a login, so that I can organise that for you. I am not sure you will see something if you are not logged in.
I've added the Content.html skin for you to have a look at if you like
Thanks

I've attached the content.html skin for you to have a look at Joe. It's very simple.
