Mark,

First, thanks for making DDR Menu. I am using it for a church website (or at least I want to). I installed the module using the host console. I checked the web.config file and the DDRMenu NavigationControl is there. I made the changes to the SOLPARTMENU Register declaration on the ascx file for my skin I am working on for the site. Everything seems in order.

When i go to the page, I get the following:

ActiveTabID: 159
ActiveTabName: New Skin Test

I would gladly send you a copy of my ascx file and web.config but I cannot find the support email address on the forum site.

Appreciate any help you can provide me because our site needs better SEO.

Thanks in advance,

Dennis

Mark,

The files are sent and I look forward to learning what the issue is. I would like to learn more about DNN as I am very new to this and am doing this for my church's website.

Thanks again.

Dennis

Hi Dennis, thanks for coming back to me with that, gives me something to chew on! Obviously some ISPs must have things set up somehow so the application doesn't automatically restart when the config is updated.
