Hi,

I'm new to dotnetnuke - first day with it today.

What I am trying to accomplish is a registration feature similar to dot net nukes registration process. The only problem is that I am unable to see how to customize the registration input fields. My first question is - is this possible without installing a new module?

Secondly I have gone to the community modules section and found a community created module for customizing registration forms. My only problem is that I have no idea how to upload it. I try uploading the zipped file using the file manager but I get this message:

An error has occurred.
Error Moving File:Portal Root\\Think.DynamicForms.zip to Portal Root\\Modules\\

The File Settings.ascx Is A Restricted File Type. Valid File Types Include ( *. swf, *.jpg, *.jpeg, *.jpe, *.gif, *.bmp, *.png, *.doc, *.xls, *.ppt, *.pdf, *.txt, *.xml, *.xsl, *.css, *.zip ). Please Contact Your Hosting Provider If You Need To Upload A File Type Which Is Not Supported.

Does this mean that my hosting provider doesn't allow me to upload new modules????

Please help! Am I doing something wrong?

Anyone have any suggestions for how customize a registration module and/or get new modules to install properly?

 

For the uploading of modules. You need to login as Host (SuperUser), and go to Host > Module Definitions, then select the Menu Action to upload new module.

If you can't login as Host, then you'll need to get whoever is hosting your site to do it for you (if they will).

For the other error, that is very common when anything is wrong in a module, so I can't help you there.
