Add / Edit Nugget

Top  Previous  Next

Add / Edit Nugget form is a standard DotNetNuke editing page.

 

You can enter whatever you want. But you should keep in mind that, the nuggets will eventually appear among other nuggets, so you have the responsibility to enable a good visual match for your nuggets.

 

You can get some ideas from our web site http://dnn.destech.net/, You can visit Modules | The Funnel | Resources.

 

If you want to define a new Nugget, use DotNetNuke context menu on Nuggets List and click "New Nugget". If you want to edit an existing one, spot the nugget in Nugget  List and then click the item.

Editing a Nugget

 

 

You should supply a unique Title for a nugget. This title will appear in many places, so the titles should sound appropriate.

 

In Content parameter, you enter the main body of your Nugget. This is an HTML code block that you are free to enter anything.

 

If you wish to make this Nugget visible to visitors, check the Is Visible box. If you're just testing your Nugget, keep it unchecked. Also if you want to retire Nuggets or move them to archive, making a Nugget invisible is a good choice.

 

To provide a link from a nugget, you have two options :

 

check_22x16Portal Page - a link within your portal

check_22x16External URL

check_22x16No link at all

 

If you go on with this third option and don't want to give any links, just choose Portal Page option and don't choose anything from the Linked Page.

 

 

Portal Page

 

Choose Portal Page option from the radio box.

 

If this nugget is associated to any of your tabs (pages) of your site, choose it from the Linked Page combo box. This feature is used when linking the nugget via appropriate token (see Template Structure).

 

If you don't choose any item, the module will not display any links even though the template has appropriate tokens.

 

nugget_edit_portal_page

 

External URL

 

If you want to give an external URL, just choose the External URL option and enter your URL from the External URL text box.

 

nugget_edit_external_url

 

 

You can choose the Target as Normal or New Window. If you choose New Window, the linked page will be displayed on another browser window or tab (depends on client's browser settings).

 

Also you can select a Category. For the benefits of using Categories, see Categories). If you don't have any Category, you should define them first (see Add / Edit Category)

 

After you're sure with parameters, just click "Update".

 

"Update" leads you to "Nuggets List" (with the Category of the updated Nugget).

 

Also you can make use of Preview. But please note that Preview works only for edit mode (ie, you cannot Preview a newly entered Nugget). Just keep the "Is Visible" unchecked. Save your Nugget, and from the Nuggets List click this Nugget. And then you can preview as much as you want.

 

warning Please note that Preview gives you just a coarse view of the Nugget. It may be different from the real page view. One of the reasons for this divergence is the possible CSS differences.

 

warning Preview displays a random nugget and also it may be randomly chosen from a non-visible nugget. Also, only a single slot is displayed.
