Hi all,

First, i wish to say that im a complet newbie on ASP.Net. Im here to learn and who knows maybe more ....

I have some ( limited ) knowledge on HTML and Javascript language and i love all from "Microsoft Labs" and i found on DotNetNuke the " Most " off all that "mainframe" that Bill Gates dont stop to repeat.

So, for begining i have some litle questions that i hpe someone can answer.

At Joomla if we want to install an Extension (example: A forum) we download from somewhere, we upload to our provider, we goto Admin Panel and install the extension. Then we link something to pointing to the "homepage" of the extension.

My question is:

Here on DNN, a forum its also called an extension ? If yes how we do all this thinks?

                                                                                    If No, whats the name ?

Hope you understand my newbie question, thanks all for youre wonderful work and sorry for my bad english.

DotNetNuke is (like other CMS) an extensible platform with a number of different extensions:
  • Skins and Containers are determing the look of the web site, 
  • while modules provide front end functions 
  • and provider the same in the back end. 
To install an extension, log in as superuser ("Host"), go to Extensions in Host (!) menu and select either "install available extension" to install one of the bundled modules or providers or use "Extension install wizard" to install an extension you downloaded to your local machine from Codeplex.com, Snowcovered.com or other excellent sites (I can also recommend www.oliverhine.com, for example).

To use a module on your site, switch on the target page to edit mode and in the control panel at the top of the page, select the module from the list.

I seen this question right away and even though I'm rookie, I thought "hey I can help with this!". 

Well, I started typing my step by step directions and became baffled because I couldn't find the blastid Install Extension Wizard link anywhere!!

Lesson Learned? Make sure you are on EDIT mode, not VIEW or LAYOUT. :)


I just figured this out now ... :facepalm:

Hi all,

Now that i have learned a litle more about the " How To " here on DNN, i have another problem that maybe is " Off Topic " but well ...

In fact there are two problems, but i think that is the same thing.

When i add a User Role and the user notification is checked ive got a dnn_sendmail_error that the email dont have been send.

The other problem is when a new User registrate, he have a Add User Error.

The problem i think that is on "adduser_module". My problem is that i dont found it for activate him or do something with him ...

I think that is the same problem "adduser_module" and "send_mail_to_user_about_new_role" because i think that DNN dont send a email to the new user after he register. So, DNN show a error message.

Someone have understood what i wrote? If yes, can someone help me with this ?

Many thanks in advance !
