DNN: Access Login Page as Admin or Host

To modify the login page as an admin you can access it via Page Management page. Once you find the login page, right click and click "View Page".  I needed to add a custom page container, and this worked.

Telerik - Custom Group Footers In RadGrid

As anyone that has dealt with this knows Telerik only supports a single Group or Header Template.  So what happens when you want to change them?  You really only have two options from what I have seen.  The first option is to have something in the data that is brought back that you can use in the designer code in the form of a conditional.  Too bad I do not see a way to check the data based on level like some sort of ParentID like some people have done.  If the ParentID is null  It would look something like below where you check it in the designer: < asp : Label runat = "server" ID = "Label2" Text = '<%# "Number of items in group: "+ (((GridGroupHeaderItem)Container).AggregatesValues["AvailableUnits"]) %>' Visible = '<%# ((((GridGroupHeaderItem)Container).AggregatesValues["AvailableUnits"]) != null)%>' > Or you can use the code behind to really get at the groupIDs like this per...

Bootstrap Modal Popup is Grayed Out

The popup shows up, but after it pops up the whole page becomes unusable.  So not only was it not displaying right, the whole page is frozen.  I found a StackOverflow post, below describing how the popup may have that behavior when it is nested inside elements that have positioning elements, which fits with previous experiences I have had.  One of the answers described how appending the modal popup to the body of the page  "$('#mytModal').appendTo('body');" would be a way of getting it out of any positioning elements.  Previously on a different page I had moved it out of some divs and it worked right.  However in this particular site the modal is in a ASP.Net site as a user control where the "offending" positioning element is in the master page and it contains the user control.  I stuck the script in the user control, but the behavior was the same.  When I used Firebug I saw that I was getting a "$ is not defined" message. With Jquery we ne...

Asp.Net - Restricting File Upload Size Client Side

So the problem I encountered was that the site would throw an ugly "maxAllowedContentLength exceeded" error when a user would try to upload a file beyond a certain size.  One of the difficulties with this is that the error is thrown before it even gets to an event, so you cannot try to handle it there. One solution that worked locally for me was to modify the web.config in two places, I will link that page below.  Too bad for me that solution did not work on the server for some unknown reason.  I had also tried handling it in the global.asax, but DNN, our CMS, is somehow preventing that from working.  I will link that too below.  So then I turned to a client side way of restricting it.    The way the client side restriction works is that it uses a newer functionality of html5 that allows most browsers to get the file size.   Older browsers will not work with this, but at this point I am fed up with this and DNN. Also if they disable Javascript th...
