Hi I have an issue where a user uses the Mail Me feature to send themselves a document link. The link comes through something like this:- http://www.amchameu.eu/De...165&EntryId=5147 When they are logged in the document downloads fine and there is no problem. However, when they are not logged in and click the link they are not sent to the login page. They are redirected to the home page which causes all manner of confusion to the hapless users. We are not using the DNN login module but are instead using the Dynamic Login module from Data Springs. Are you aware of any issues in this area? gus

Update: I've tried using the default DNN login and get the same issue. So it's not related to the Dynamic Login module. I don't understand why the login page is not appearing for protected documents??

I think I worked this one out but I'm not sure if it's a bug or not: The Mail Mail template has a token in it called [DMX:DefaultPath]. One might expect this to be the path to the default DMX module. However, it seems to be putting just the portal url in. As soon as I realised this I was able to add the full path to the DMX home and the links redirect to the login page as desired. e.g. Title: [Entry:Title] link: http://[DMX:DefaultPath]/Default.aspx?Command=Core_Download&EntryId=[Entry:EntryId] So, how about renaming the token or making it do what it says it does? thanks Gus

Hi Gus, I'll make a note. I have found that DNN's behavior generating urls is somewhat erratic. I fear there may be differences between DNN versions (and friendly url providers) in the inclusion of the host or not. Peter

About Bring2mind

Bring2mind is the company of Peter Donker, a DotNetNuke enthusiast who has been involved with the platform from the very beginning. At the same time as the market for modules emerged, he realized there was no good document management solution for the platform yet and he set about creating this. In part he based the module on his experience with other document management systems he used while working as a researcher. His module, Document Exchange, was an instant success and has since become the premier document management solution for DotNetNuke. In 2004 he created Bring2mind as a vehicle for the module and is one of the few successful businesses solely based on a DotNetNuke product.
