Excellent work.  VERY helpful.  I noticed there is one page missing.  Page 11 should contain the set up of the "Add to Group" page.  Also, I would recommend not hiding the pages until the set up is complete.

Thank you, I really appreciate it. Not sure why you would need a "Add To Group" on page 11 (the Group Detail page). While on this page, you just hit the "Join group" link, if you want to be added to the Group. Maybe I'm misunderstanding you?

You are right about the hidden pages altho I find page navigation through the "Pages" page (Admin->Pages) to be the easiest way to get an overview as well as easy access to any page on my site. But you're right, hiding pages could be last thing to do.

Again thanks for your input.

Re: Module Deployment Guide – Visualized (Profile, Group, Wall)  (United States)

Sorry, I was not clear.  On page 2 you list all of the pages needed for installation.  One of the user group pages is "Add to Group (Hidden)"  All of the other web pages have their own set up  page in your document except this page.  It is missing.  It should fall on page 11 in your document but since it is missing then next web page setup is there.  I know I am not explaining this well.  Basically there is a set up page missing for the "Add to Group (Hidden)" web page.

You are so very right. Don't know how I missed that one. I'll add it to the guide soon. I seem to have misplaced the original file (read: my NAS went belly up two days ago - RAID5 pffft!).

There's only one thing that confuses me, the "Any Role" permission. My DNN doesn't have that role. Is that the Registered Users role?

Any role would be any role you would like e.g. Registered users, All user, custom role.

Aloha,

in the user manual form Xpleo the configuarition on e.g. Profile page states: Integration: Mail, add to group, User profile....not sure what that means, when looking at the profile module and the integration section the only options are: Private Message, Add to Groups, and Invite to Events. THus no Mail, add to group...am I missing somehting.

 

appreciate your help.

 

Furthermore, the UserProfile - DIrector does not havea  UserProfielType attributes so not sure if an error or maybe for an older version?

Hey,

I am new to DNN and maybe making some basic mistakes.  I have worked through the document and can create new groups and see them under my profile, but I can not search for the groups as another user.  All of my searches come up empty.
 

Thanks,

 

John

Hi John,

 

Are the groups set to Private perhaps? If you search on them as the Group owner can you see them?


Thanks

Re: Module Deployment Guide – Visualized (Profile, Group, Wall)  (United Kingdom)

Nice guide.

I am working through it after having spent hours with the modules and not a good result as yet.

Here is something I can help with, I hope.

The Iconbar - That is: in DNN Administrator panel, <Select a module> dropdown is by default far too narrow to read the names of the modules.

Here's what you can do to make it wider.

You need to get into the DNN Root directory using WS_FTP or similar FTP Client App.

Go to this folder: (My root folder is called wwwroot - yours might just be www)

wwwroot/admin/ControlPanel

Find this file, download it to local and get it into an editor:
iconbar.ascx

In Line 85, the Width is hardcoded as =140

Set it to something like 340.  Like this:-
              
<asp:dropdownlist id="cboTabs" runat="server" cssclass="NormalTextBox" Width="340" datavaluefield="TabID" datatextfield="TabName" visible="False" autopostback="True" />

Save the original file as iconbar.ascx.ORIG (just in case you ned it later), and upload the edited copy yo just made to the live folder.

Refresh your browser.  Result: "Happiness".  Your Module select drop-list will be wide enough to see all the names of the modules.

Another more general tip.  Use Firefox as your browser and make sure you add the Firebug utility.  Switch on Firebug and select  menuitem"Inspect" then click the elements on the screen.  Such as: dropdowns that are too narrow!. You will see all the relevant code and the CSS that goes with it.  That's how I traced this code.

Re: Module Deployment Guide – Visualized (Profile, Group, Wall)  (Australia)

Hi David,

 

Thanks for sharing - I like Firebug, but I find the WebDeveloper extension for FF is the most useful for CSS problems - you can also inspect an element to see were it inherits it's CSS from.

WRT to the small combo box - this is really up to the skin css - here is an easier way of modifying it without touching the source.


Thanks
Rodney

In this walkthrough, what is the purpose of having both "My Profile" and "Edit My Profile" tabs. arent they both doing the same thing and does the user need to see both?

This is two different pages because 
1. My Profile gets a UserID sent to it from another page (PassedOnUserID). This page should be hidden.
2. Edit My Profile used the logged on UserID (LoggedOnUserID). This page shoud be shown to registered users only.

Re: Module Deployment Guide – Visualized (Profile, Group, Wall)  (Denmark)

The Mail integration is with/for a seperate module from Ventrian called Private Messages. Through it users can post messages to roles or individual users.

Three pages connects with one user profile.
1. The public page with the passed-through userid.
2. The hidden edit page with the logged on userid.
3. The public private page (if you are not on my friends-list you will see this "sorry, this is a private profile" page) with the passed-through userid.

The Userlist is for you to toy with. It could be setup as a list (text) or profiles (avatar/profile picture).

Hi jesper,

Congratulations..and thank you for your guide. And I am interested in smarthinker social networking suite also. But it is impossible to understand for me how to use it.

http://www.mad4fun.dk/images/Smart-Thinker_ModuleDeploymentGuide_Visualized.pdf

 several times but still can't how to configure it..thanks..Forexample in userprofile module, can't I add a field with name marital status? Can I customize  the user profile unit? Thanks

On the Page Layout

Am I understanding correctly that the "My Profile" and "Groups" pages have no parent pages such that I wind up with a tab for each in the menus, with the other pages as child pages?  I'm just inferring this from the indentation in the tutorial, but couldn't find any text to support it.

Thanks -- Craig

Well it depends on how you want to set up your site. Check how I have set it up at www.mad4fun.dk (it's in english), but basically you can have one page-menu with lots of subpages. It is all up to you. My guide is just a guide, not the sole solution.

Thanks Jesper.  I took a look at your website, fiddled with my own setup, and am getting the hang of how it all fits together now.  Now that I've dug into it a bit, it's pretty straightforward and I'm already customizing it to work with my website... just needed a little push I guess.  :)
