New Community Website

Ordinarily, you'd be at the right spot, but we've recently launched a brand new community website... For the community, by the community.

Yay... Take Me to the Community!

How to Use the Text DotNetNuke Skin Object

IMPORTANT!! This blog article is OUTDATED (and has been moved).  You should instead read my updated article about the Text theme object on the Official DNN website.

I followed the instructions to a T but it doesn't seem to completely work. It shows the default language but when I switch to my second language, it still shows the default language's text. Is there a setting in DNN that I'm missing?

DNN 7.1.2

Nothing working even with default language returning nothing using 7.3

Sounds like you need to submit a bug to Jira, but it would be even cooler if you can find and squash the bug too. :)

I already posted the bug but i found the solution as well, In 7.3 the variable "Text" has replaced with "ShowText" so the token must be with ShowText instead of just Text



I have checked in .cs file under admin folder and i found the variable has changed, i hope it save many people time

Happy DNN

@Rashid - I did a quick check and can't see that variable change, so it must have either been done a long time ago - i'll add a note to the jira and close it.
