Hi, I'm relatively new to dnn and to this forum and I hope I am posting my thread in the right place..

I installed dnn 5.6.3 and I added a module (form and list) to the content pane, and it is aligned by default to the left, what I am trying to do is align it to the right.

I tried going to the page settings in the module and change align to right (or center), but nothing changes, I mean the module is still aligned to the left but the settings page is aligned to the right (!?)... by the way this applies to any module not just to form and list.

also I can't insert the module to the right pane because there are other modules there.

is it something I need to change in the skin.css or portal.css ?

I would really appreciate your help guys!
Thanks in advance,!

Are you trying to "Right Align" text, or the module in relation to another module?

If you are trying to align the text to the right, there is probably a css class in your portal.css or skin.css that is overriding the module setting.

I would suggest using FireFox and getting the Firebug plugin so you can inspect your elements. This will tell you what css is controling the text align.

Once you figure that out, you can either change/modify the class, or target the module id or another class to get your desired effect.
===========

If you can't add a module to the right pane, it is possible that the pane has a set height limit on it, through css and may keep the module from being visible depending on how your skin css is setup. Doubtful, but possible.

In DNN 6, you can go to Admin > Pages, then select the page and under the "Modules" section see if your modules are being added to the page.

Hi Jeff,
Thank you so much for your kind reply!

I am actually trying to right align the module it self inside the pane, and not the text inside it.

For example, I added the "Account Login" module to a page in the content pane, by default, the entire module is left aligned, if I go to module setting and choose to right align it, the text in the module ("User Name:" , Password:") does get right aligned as you suggested, but I am seeking to shift the entire module to the right (including the title, text box's, basically align everythig to the right).

I forgot to mention that I am using an artisteer template on my website, if it makes a difference.. I tried switching to the default dnn skin, but it's the same.

I tried using firebug as you suggested to see if I can find out how to fix it, but it is way too complicated for me, too much information that I wan't able to figure out, I am really new to this... :)

Any ideas?

Thanks!!

You'll have to look at your page output and target the specific module id, it will look something like this:
<div id="dnn_ctr388_ContentPane">

Notice the "388" this is the module id. Now with that info, you could add an element to your css file with something like this:
#dnn_ctr388_ContentPane {
float:right;
}

But in all honesty, I don't think that would work either. Modules are loaded into containers, and containers into panes. The pane that is located in your skin file should be what will control the alignment of your module onto the page.

Hi Jeff!
Thanks for your reply,
I tried that but it didn't work, I really appreciate your effort though..
Incase you ever find a solution, or anyone else reading this post... it will be great if you could post it here!

I'll keep looking in the meantime,

btw I contacted artisteer and they told me that they will add rtl support (which will also allow right alignment) in their next release (3.1), so this may solve the problem dnn always had with rtl...

Thanks alot for all your help and time!!
Have a great day!
