Hi,

I have a HTML/Text module on a page. The module has the "Display Container" switched off (unchecked).

However, when a user (not the administrator) logs in I want them to be able to edit the content. The problem is that the drop-down action menu isn't available because there is no container specified for this module.

Can anyone help? I'm sure I'm not the only one who's had this problem....

Thanks,

Marcus.

When someone with administrator privileges logs into the site, they will be able to see the administrator's toolbar just above the top of the site. They can click the Preview button or the Edit button (depends on which version of DotNetNuke you are using) to get at the action menus for the various modules.

Thanks for your reply Joe. The thing is that the user isn't an administrator. They are a user that has been given edit privileges to the module.

If I put a container around the module they are able to see the action drop-down and can click "Edit Text" which takes them to the rich editor. If I remove the container (which is what I want) then they can't see the drop-down action menu.

I'm using DNN 4.5.3. DNN is absolutely fantastic!!!!

I see.

Since you are using version 4.5.3, your user should be able to see the Mode toolbar and be able to switch between View and Edit modes.  In edit mode, the user should be able to hover the mouse over the text in that module and then click the Edit icon that appears.

But you are right and I don't see a way to get to the rich text editor ...

Hello,

I've just tested this and yes this must be a bug. - When the container is removed and you log in as admin / host the container will re-appear and give you the menu.

I would create a transparent container and this will get round the problem.

Thanks,

Thanks Lee. Yes, I have used a transparent container. But it moves the content down the screen a bit which is a shame.

Do you know if this is a new bug or has it always been an issue in previous versions?

Thanks,

Marcus.

It depends on any css / tables you have put in the container. Have you tried:
< div id="contentpane" runat="server" >[DROPDOWNACTIONS]< / div >

(I've added spaces in so that it posts in the forum)

Hi Lee,

Thanks. I tried this and it works a treat!

Thanks a lot.

Marcus.
