OK - I'm a newbie at web design all together. Think I'm about 5 hours in and I have a pretty good mistake here. I loaded DNN onto a hosting server throught their site and was modifing things just fine. Then I wanted to add a news feed to my site and searched around to find I could add a reuters news feed. They sent me some java code to add to my site to pull in their news feed and I placed it in a text/html editor module. Now I can't edit any of the models or the whole site. I knew I really shouldn't have pasted that java code into the txt/html editor but I did and now there is no editing for the entire page. Is there a way to delete that module from the file system? (If I click the edit button under the module the whole page reloads and is in veiw mode - so can't do anything there.)  Also - where do I find some manuals - like pdf docs?

You have two options.

1.) Put the page into design mode (Click on the design button in the control panel), then you can edit and remove the content

2.) If 1 doesn't work you can remove the text from the database, I can provide scripts if you need.

EDIT: to finish my thought....

Mitch,

Yes, One doesn't work. When you click on the edit option you are automatically switched back out of design mode. So there is no design mode because anything you do results in being kicked out of design mode.

 

How do I remove the text from the database?

Thanks

NOTE: USE THE BELOW AT YOUR OWN RISK!!

First you need to get your module id, you can get this from the "Settings" page URL.  (In design mode, select settings, then notice the moduleid in the URL)

Validate that you have the proper one by running the below


SELECT *
FROM htmltext
WHERE moduleId = 345

Replace 345 with your module id.

Now, clear the text for the module using

UPDATE htmltext
SET DesktopHtml = ''
WHERE moduleId = 345

again placing your module id in for the 345 value.

Good luck!

Mitch,

Sorry, but I need some help here. Your code above is DB code. Where would I run this? I'm just logging in as the admin where my web site was installed on the host server. I'm also having trouble finding the module id. I see a tabib but I don't think that is it. I must not be looking in the same area, as I just logged in as the admin and selected the site settings under admin.?
