Finally, since I hear that DNN will allow admins to treat the admin pages as "any other" page, I suspect you'll be able to much more easily accomplish this task in the DNN 5.0 timeframe. So you might just want to wait a few weeks.

A few weeks? Is that the timeframe for a DNN 5 release? I must admit I have not been tracking the progress of DNN5. Are we really that close?

Hi Joshua,

I think that's probably a reasonable estimate. I get to make estimates because (1) I have no inside knowledge of when it will actually be released, and (2) because I'm not a core team member, I can make wild predictions and not be held accountable for them. Nevertheless, while you should take my estimate with a grain of salt, I think it's probably within the ballpark.

Re: Moving the Admin and Host menus

you can done it with the Menu (Host/SQL) with the following ways:

1) AdminMenu:

UPDATE {databaseOwner}[{objectQualifier}Tabs]

SET [TabOrder]='10032',

[IsVisible]='1',

[PortalID]=0, -- the filed related to which portal the admin menu exist

[ParentID]='38',

[Level]='1', -- the filed is the menu level, 0 is 1st, 1 apply to 2st.....

[TabPath]='//Admin//YourTabName', -- YourTabName is your tabName which you will insert into the admin menus

[IconFile]='yourTabimage src' -- this filed is optional

WHERE tabid=57

2) Host Menu:

UPDATE {databaseOwner}[{objectQualifier}Tabs]

SET [TabOrder]='24',

[IsVisible]='1',

[PortalID]=null,

[ParentID]='7',

[Level]='1', -- the filed is the menu level, 0 is 1st, 1 apply to 2st.....

[TabPath]='//Host//YourTabName', -- YourTabName is your tabName which you will insert into the admin menus

[IconFile]='yourTabimage src' -- this filed is optional

WHERE tabid=57

Hope they can help you a little.

I wish I could believe that but Shaun may think differently:

"The original schedule included quarterly milestones aligned with each of the significant enhancement areas of the Cambrian roadmap; with the entire product offering to be delivered by the end of 2008. At this point we anticipate the schedule has slipped one quarter"
