So I was bouncing around on a project I'm working on for my "day job," and I noticed a tremendous number of Text/HTML modules being used as a summarization for the function of the page.  Using the Text/HTML module in that function is fine, but it's not taking advantage of linking to other pages on the site or token replacement, it's kind of a waste.

How do you get around that though?  Well, every module in DNN has an advanced setting where  you can specify header or footer text.  In the case outlined above, this works perfectly.  One of the benefits of using this is with less modules on the page, page loads become a little more efficient.

Re: DotNetNuke Module Settings Header/Footer

I agree, but I have yet to figure out a way to format the header/footer as anything other than plain text, which drives me away from using it most of the time. Is there a way?

Re: DotNetNuke Module Settings Header/Footer

In the past, I've gotten around it by manually typing in the HTML. Unless it's a requirement that users be able to edit that particular section, I would suggest going that route.
