Adding a DNN Web Control Container Module using DNN

DNN sites are created by first adding a page to your website, next, dropping the DNN container, and finally, dropping the .NET Web control on to that page. Web controls are the individual pieces that are rendered by the DNN Web Control Container.

One DNN Web Control Container must be added per .NET web control. If you want multiple controls on a page, you will have to drop a DNN container for each control. For more information, please see Adding a .NET Web Control to a Page.

To configure the DNN Web Control container module settings:

1. Log into your site as host.

You must have the correct page editing permissions in order to add a module to a page.

2. Create a new page or navigate to an existing page on your site to add the control. Please refer to Adding a Page on Your Site Using DNN for more information.

You have to set the right page permissions in order for your web users to be able to view a page in your e-Business site. For example, if you want all users (registered and non-registered) to be able to view a page, such as online store, you check the All Users checkbox. If you just want registered users to be able to view a page, check the Registered Users checkbox. In addition, all IMS roles are also displayed in the Page Permissions tab and that is why you see Personify Staff, Personify Member, etc. Please refer to Adding a Page on Your Site Using DNN for more information.
