If you have mistakenly set your login page to a page that does not have a login control on it then you might be wondering how you are ever going to get logged in again to fix it.

Click on the link below for an alternate login page that you can upload to your site.

Be sure to read the included readme file.

LoginForDotNetNuke.zip (1.74 KB)

**Update: The above download only works for versions 3.1/4/1 and below.  I'm still trying to get one to work for 3.3/4.3 since things were changed in the way that the ClientAPI works with UserControls.

Also, if you can get access to your DB then you can run a query to fix this problem.

Update Portals Set LoginTabId=null Where PortalId=xx

xx is the id of the portal (probably 0).

***Update: I have created a new solution that you can use in the following blog:

DotNetNuke Login is not working!! How am I going to get back in?

Who would of ever thought it?  Napoleon Dynomite has better reflexes than Bill Gates.

Umm, I have pretty good computer hacking skills, can I work for Microsoft?

Got to see if I can get that new phone deal.

Catch ya later..

The flight wasn't too bad at all, and the lights were on when I got here.

Think a DotNetNuke site has to be slow because of all that dynamic rendering?

I was writing a windows service in VB.Net today and found that the template included with the VS2K5 Beta 2 release is pretty much empty.

For those of you that are following the DotNetNuke community. You can find blogs from the core team members and the new projects leads. I'll probably copy them here also.

Just found an issue with my Catalook store where downloaded zip files were getting corrupted with winzip saying "this is not a valid archive". I downloaded trough FTP and the archive opened fine. Luckily it dawned on me that the HTTP Compression module might be causing the problem since it would be trying to Gzip a PKzip file.

It's been a while since I have been able to attend a technical conference so I'm really glad I'll get to attend the PDC this year in LA.

That's right, it's out. Step on over to http://www.dotnetnuke.com/default.aspx?tabid=125 and get yourself a copy. No major enhancements for this release, but many bugs were exterminated. For those interested in a summary of the changes, here is the ouput from Gemini:

A Dell laptop that is.  Another thing that was about time.  I had been using my last laptop for about 4 years.  It was a Dell Latitude C800 which I upgraded till it couldn't be upgraded no more. RAM is maxed out (512M). Has 2 Hard Drives (40G & 80G).  A 1G Pentium processor.  I guess that isn't too bad, but man it was slow. 

I liked my last one so much that this time I got a new Dell D810.  1.7G M70 processor, 1.5G RAM, 60G 7200 RPM Hard Drive, and a nice 15" wide screen, & a DVD RW drive.

The real kicker is that my last one cost over $3,000 (without the upgrades), and this one came in right at $2,000 including tax. Sweet!  I love technology.

I wiped the hard drive as soon as it got here and installed Windows XP Pro instead of the home version.  Yes, I know I could have got the laptop with that OS and had everything configured all nice, but hey it saved me $69 to do it myself.  I have to admit, things are much better now days as far as drivers go.  I was able to load my resource CD and re-install all the drivers & utilities without a glitch in less than a half hour.  Now if Visual Studio would only load that fast!
