How to change string "You are here" in Dotnetnuke web site to other language

How to change string "You are here" in Dotnetnuke's web site to other language?

If you want to translate it, you need access to you DNN installation via file system. Look for the Skin folder (/Portals/_defauls/Skins/MinimalExtrophy) and inside there is a folder /App_localResources with a single file "index.ascx.resx" you need to copy to index.ascx.sv-SV.resx and edit using a text editor. you will find "you are here" near the end of the file and may overwrite it with your localization.

This works to DNN version 4.9 and above. How it works you may see here

Нow to dynamically change query for ListView linked to LinqDataSource?

In order to dynamically change query for ListView linked to LinqDataSource you have to handle OnSelecting event for LinqDataSource. .

For example:


protected void dsMates_Selecting(object sender, LinqDataSourceSelectEventArgs e)
{
if (Request.Params["classMateId"] != null)
{
int mateId;
if (int.TryParse(Request.Params["classMateId"], out mateId))
{
using (DataClassesPrivateMsgDataContext db = new DataClassesPrivateMsgDataContext())
{
e.Result = db.Classmates.Where(mate => mate.Id == mateId).FirstOrDefault();
}
}
}
}

How does it works you can see here: 11-A

Dotnetnuke site constantly to recreate the domain application: "The AppDomain shut down because of the hosting environment."

I've made a site using CMS DotNetNuke. On my developing machine it worked very good. After placing It into the hosting I've noticed that pages, especially the first opened very slowly. I looked into site's Event Viewer and see that the application domain recreated several times a minute. There are consistent records:

Application Shutting Down. Shutdown Details: The AppDomain shut down because of the hosting environment.

Application Started.


Operation of Re-creation of domain application is not fast, and it leads to lower the productivity of the website (slowly loading of pages).
