I've updated my site to DNN 6 and all is well, except that now I'm having problems with managing modules in the edit view - I've got multiple modules on my pages and when I click the manage bar in a given module, the pop up manage menu is not coming to the top of focus, and I can't get to the items on the menu since the modules lower on the page.

First, here's a screen shot of the manage menu of a single html module on a page. Nice, easy, and completely accessible.


Now, I've added a blog module below the html module. (doesn't matter what module, this is just for the example).  Look what happens when I try to get to the manage menu of the html module:


It's obscured by the blog module, and if I move my mouse over the menu, it collapses and the manage menu for the blog module pops up. This is driving me crazy. Is there something I'm missing to make this workable? For the moment I'm editting html modules via the database, which I suspect isn't the preferred method.

Thanks in advance!

The placement of layers in dnn and most modern css based websites is controlled by a css property called z-index.

The <DIV element with the lowest z-index is rendered at the Back and the <DIV element with the highest z-index is rendered at the Front.

Start by adding to your skin.

.DnnModule {z-index:1;}
.dnnActionMenu {z-index:10;}

This should in theory force the module layer to render under the actionmenu layer.
You may need to fiddle around with these vales somewhat depending on how your skin is setup.
For example if you skin already has z-index values for contentpanes then u will need to set the actionmenu layer higher than andy such existing settings.

FWIW these are the current z-index ranges used by dnn

z-Index:»

  • Modal popup: 1000 - up
  • Control panel: 950 – 999
  • Module actions: 900 – 949
  • Everything else (including content): 0 – 899

Thanks for the help.  I tried the z-index adjustment, but it made no difference in IE9.  After mucking around with that for a while I gave it a shot with Firefox where it worked as it should.  I'm not sure if the z-index was the fix or just moving to Firefox, but anyhow, that will be my go-to browser for dnn development.
Thanks again, Mel

don't forget to clear the cache in the host section. I have found when changing things it will not appear to be changed until you clear the cache of the site. I personal would like them to do away with the pop up or give us the ability to choose. I think most will opt out for POP UPS to be honest.
