HI all,

Some days I seem to wake up and become rapidly convinced that the world has slipped sideways.

Been doing some testing with DNN600 and I'm having troubles trying to work out how to control the container that is being used to render pages like terms and privacy.

Correct me if im wrong but I had it in my mind - that in the past this was controlled by whatever container was assigned to the Edit Control in Admin Settings -  as is stated by the tooltip on that page - "The selected container will be applied to all edit mode (ctl=) modules on the site."

After going round in circles for some time I resorted to digging into the code and find that this is NOT how the process is currently coded.

All modules that have a ctl= are handled by the method ProcessSlaveModule() in DotNetNuke.UI.Skins.skin.cs file.

And the selection of the container to use is being handled by this code:

slaveModule.ContainerSrc = PortalSettings.ActiveTab.ContainerSrc;
if (String.IsNullOrEmpty(slaveModule.ContainerSrc))
{
     slaveModule.ContainerSrc = PortalSettings.DefaultPortalContainer;
}

Someone please correct me if I'm going totally crazy - but this code is doing something totally different to what is indicated in the tool tip.

This code is pulling the container to be used from the container used by the current ActiveTab - so basically which ever container is currently being used by the page you were last on will be used as the container for the slavemodule - being - any Edit page or Terms or Privacy.

This code needs to be changed to :

slaveModule.ContainerSrc = PortalSettings.DefaultAdminContainer;
if (String.IsNullOrEmpty(slaveModule.ContainerSrc))
{
   slaveModule.ContainerSrc = PortalSettings.DefaultPortalContainer;
}
