Add this wherever you want the menu to show up.

<portal:ChildPageMenu id="ChildPageMenu1" runat="server" CssClass="txtnormal" ForceDisplay="false" />

This seems like a useful feature, saving time versus adding a Child Pages Site Map feature to a page, but it seems not to work... is this a bug, or am I missing something from skin etc?

Thanks!

In v2.9.2 the default CK Editor configuration makes a base64 encoded image within the content when pasted from clipboard. Is there any way of configuring the ckeditor-mojoconfig.js and site configuration so that a pasted image is saved into the file system and automatically referenced in the content?

Thanks!

i have some trouble..  installed latest release of mojo and latest release (taken by github) and have some issue

for examle..   when i browse cart i have ah shuck error. this is my log :

System.TypeLoadException: Non è stato possibile caricare il tipo 'mojoPortal.Web.UI.GCheckoutLogList' dall'assembly 'mojoPortal.Web, Version=2.9.0.1, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null'.

Yes, V2.9.0.1 for MS-SQL and Webstore 7.5.0.4. The latter was downloaded on 8/28/24, a few days before I posted my question. I host 4 distinct domains on the same server, 3 running 2.9.0.1 and one running an older 2.7 release. Only the latest site was attempting to use the Webstore module to market a handful of craft items. Could the presence of an older instance have anything to do with this? I'm using separate root folders for each site and separate SQL databases, so I didn't think so.

I had set this up about 6 years ago on 2.7 (different server/infrastructure) and resurrected the domain and project and thought I could just use the same components on the newer version.

This is a low priority now as I've integrated that new site with a NopCommerce webstore instance.

Are you using mojo 2.9.0.1 and webstore 7.5.0.4 or building the code from the repo?

Thanks,
Joe

I just set up a new website, installed the latest version of MP and the Webstore. I'm creating a test product to play with before building the site store page with all the products. I have not yest configured the payment gateway, in case that matters.

• Completed the Store Settings page
• Created a product (coffee mug) with images, description. 
  • ISSUE: The Shipping Amount field returns to zero after setting it and saving the changes. Not a deal breaker.
• Created an offer - settings, description, availability.
  • ISSUE: Clicking "Save and Continue Edit" on any tab prompts with a "Leave Site?" dialog. This does NOT occur on the product page tabs. 
  • ISSUE: Products tab - click Add Product. Products table is shown with one product. Click Add results in no action occurring. No other controls on that page, so click Back (arrow) and no products are listed. I rolled back to the default skin to be sure my custom skin wasn't causing any display issue. (custom skin is the Framework with modified image colors and a handful of custom CSS classes, otherwise unchanged.)

I can't seem to move past associating an offer with a product. In SQL, I see the product and offer URLs, and when I enter those URLs I see the product with the image and description, the offer with the price, add to cart link, and description but no image even though an images is associated with both the product and offer. Also - products / offers don't show up on the store main page where the Web Store instance is linked. I do see a "Specials" header with the product when I tick the "Special" option.

Currently the Shared Files feature does not allow bulk download. We are working on adding this to the Shared Files module and hope to have it released soon.

Thanks,
Joe

I am only seeing the option to download one by one.

Brad

Thank you for the response.

I tried to install the key, but its not working.

I added also the cs file.

May bee I need to upgrade the site? I have not done upgrade for some time.

Regards, SveinM

We have updated this function to be configurable and it will now default to the api.qrserver.com service. 

To use a different service, a user.config setting like the following will need to be set.

<add key="QRCodeGeneratorUrl" value="https://api.qrserver.com/v1/create-qr-code/?size={0}x{1}&format={2}&data={3}" />

We will likely replace this soon with a built-in generator so we aren't reliant on 3rd party sites.

The code for this was in Web/Controls/Google/QRCodeImage.cs. We are moving it to Web/Controls/QRCodeImage.cs.

Thank you,
Joe

Do some of you know in which file this can be changed?

In the current setup this call is executed: ttps://chart.googleapis.com/chart?chs=150x150&amp;cht=qr&amp;chl=webadresse

A changed call could be: https://api.qrserver.com/v1/create-qr-code/?size=100x100&format=jpg&data=webadresse

I am getting the Ah, Shucks error when trying to access Expired Posts on a Blogs Administration module, refer below.

Can anyone help?

That is strange.  In my experience, whenever a computer tells me something is wrong but it seems like nothing has changed, it always turns out that the computer was right and something had changed - it's just often hard to figure out the what/when/why of it.

If you contact i7MEDIA and leave us your email/phone, we'll use that to privately ask for some extra info and then take a look at it for you.

Thanks,

The registry key is set, and yes, the site has been moved to a new server about 6months ago but I kept the hostname and folder structure the same as on the old server, plus the uploads worked fine since the move and then suddenly just stopped. That's what's puzzling me the most - nothing has been changed yet all of a sudden the paths are supposedly too long.

I'm way over my head here, may need to pay someone to get to the bottom of it.

Regards
Madski

I believe this issue is caused by the maximum path length in Windows, see this article for more info: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/fileio/maximum-file-path-limitation?tabs=registry

My guess is that either your installation was moved somehow such that all the relative paths the file manager is requesting are too long, or else that the users in question have user-specific media folders setup and the combined system path + user folder path winds up being too long.

You should be able to check the request path and see how long it is to check if that is what's going on.

Hope this helps,

-Isaac

I apologise if this is in a wrong section but I really need some help. I inherited a website running on an severely outdated version of mojo, I was just about to upgrade it to the latest version over the weekend but suddenly no one can upload any files using the file manager. Neither users or admins can upload anything, both file managers yield the same result. Logs and event viewer list "System.IO.PathTooLongException: The specified path, file name, or both are too long. The fully qualified file name must be less than 260 characters, and the directory name must be less than 248 characters."  As far as I'm aware nothing's been changed so I'm at a complete loss here.  Having literally zero knowledge about web development I don't know where to look or what to look for. Any pointers would be hugely appreciated.

Many thanks
Madski

CAPTCHA no longer being effective is why we implemented this. It's cut down on a lot of SPAM, so much so we haven't tried to figure out what the problem with CAPTCHAs are. Honestly, it seems to be a non-mojo issue as we have similar problems on some wordpress, et. al. sites we support.  A lot of the SPAM has to have been entered by an actual human.

We have had better results with hCAPTCHA over reCAPTCHA but it's still not as good as CAPTCHA used to be. We need to upgrade to the latest versions of both reCAPTCHA and hCAPTCHA and maybe implement some other SPAM/Scammer mitigation on top of the keyword blocking.

By the way, we're working on ckEditor 5 and we've created a new menu control which uses Razor. SuperFlexi also uses Razor, as of version 2.9. Several old controls have been removed and more will be removed soon. mojoPortal is 20 years old this July so there is a good bit of old stuff that's just not needed anymore.

We have some bigger things in the works as well. If we can get some customers willing to help pay for a few features, they'll come along quicker.

Thanks,
Joe

I created a little script to update my blacklist to all CMS installs and all sites to make updates faster.

Thank you,

The Keywork Blacklist uses regex to filter better. If you are looking to remove the word cat with any assembly of characters in front or behind it you can use .*cat.*

The .* tells it to read any characters on whichever side that pattern is on. For example, .*cat would capture supercat but would not capture caterpillar.

If you are looking to block all cyrillic characters you can use the .*\p{IsCyrillic}.* pattern. This, once again, uses the .* pattern to capture the entire word that has a cyrillic character so that it does not get confused by actual words, and the \p{IsCyrillic} captures anything inside of the IsCyrillic script built into regex. If you do not like that however .*[\u0400-\u04FF].* will capture the entire unicode range for cyrillic characters.

Thank you,

Joey Stombaugh

Let's say my block keyword is "cat"

By itself cat will be blocked but if someone types in xcatx it will not be blocked. That's often okay but when blocking individual cyrillic characters (russian) I need those characters to stop form submission if found anywhere in the copy. I tried adding something like *cat* to my list but that blocks anything typed in.

Just curious if there are any undocumented tricks to let your keyword be blocked if found anywhere within the form content?

Anyone can help? Is my smtp setting wrong or any config file or code file we mis it to update? Please advice.

Thanks.

We already add the contact form feature, then fill in the info as below on  Administration Menu > Site List > Site Settings > Mail Settings, but when test send cannot received mail. Please advice.

SMTP User: xxx@gmail.com

SMTP Password: xxx

SMTP Server: smtp.gmail.com

SMTP Port: 587

SMTP Requires Authentication?: Tick

SMTP Use SSL?: Tick

Thanks.

1. Use the built-in GA4 support by adding your GA4 ID to the "Google Analytics Account Code" setting under Administration > Site Settings > API Keys.
2. Add the javascript code from Google Analytics to the head element in your skin.
3. Use the Custom Content options in Site Settings.

Thanks,
Joe

There is not currently a way to push permissions down to child pages. It's something we'll look at adding in the future though.

Thank you,
Joe

I have created a page structure on our intranet based on Departments, eg Human Resources. All the sub pages and content have also been created. 

Is there a way to add an additional role to edit all those pages under Human Resources, adding the permissions to the child pages that already exist, automatically?

Thanks in advance, Sandy

I'm asking if it is possible to ensure that during registration, if a user checks a checkbox, an email is sent to the administrators.

this is the case if a user chooses to be a member or not of an association or to subscribe only to the site. or even make sure that, if a checkbox is checked, other fields are required to be filled in to then issue the card to the member.

thanks

My apologies. I should have responded sooner. I should have a copy to send you today or tomorrow. I made the fatal mistake of doing "just one more thing" which led me down a rabbit hole and extended this far beyond the timeline I set for myself. The result is a leaner and more up-to-date core for mojo but that was at the cost of timeliness.

Thanks,
Joe

Could you give me an idea when the files are coming? I need to organise a demo. Thanks!

Is it coming to the email address of my account? Or download? I'd really like to make progress for a customer demo asap, if it's no trouble!

This will be a complete upgrade of mojoPortal and all commercial modules. 

Thanks,
Joe

And really looking forward to the upgrade to mojoPortal!

I'll send it to you directly. It's in a new version that we haven't released yet.

Thanks,
Joe

Can you give any pointers? Or is this coming in a future release? (And if so... when?)

thanks!

It's very simple to add GA4 to a mojoPortal site. All you need to do is open the layout.master for your skin and add the code you referenced to the bottom of the <head> section of the html.

If you look at the source on the i7MEDIA website, you'll see our GA4 tag just above the </head>

We're finishing up on our work to get the pgsql, sqlite, and mysql database layers in sync with our mssql database layer. Once we have done that, we'll be able to make a public release which includes a feature to add scripts to the site without editing the layout.master.

Thanks,
Joe

According to the instructions from Google there should be a tag added to each page on the site, after the <head> item, an example here(the code is changed to xxxxxxxx and I have deletred the <> characters in the code so it can be shown here):

Google tag (gtag.js) 
script async src="https://www.googletagmanager.com/gtag/js?id=G-4Dxxxxxxxx"/script
script
  window.dataLayer = window.dataLayer || [];
  function gtag(){dataLayer.push(arguments);}
  gtag('js', new Date());

  gtag('config', 'G-4Dxxxxxxxx');
/script

Anybody know how to implement that on the site, please?

Regards, Svein-Martin Holt

From within IIS:

1. Select your site
2. Under the IIS header on the site's properties page, open "Authentication"
3. Click the "Anonymous Authentication" item
4. Click the "Edit" link in the Actions pane.
5. Ensure "Application pool identity" is chosen.

If that is set already, you need to double-check your permissions. Not being able to clear the log is always a permissions issue. IIS defaults websites to use the "IUSR" user as the anonymous identity but when we harden our servers, as we should, by setting the folder/file permissions to use the Application Pool Identity, things like this can break.

Hope this helps,
Joe

The log stops at:
2022-06-08 18:21:11,445 INFO (null) - (null) - (null) - mojoPortal.Web.Global - Global.asax.cs Application_End

That's 60-days ago. I can export the log, click Refresh and be brought back to the top (2021-04-03 date), but cannot Clear the log. The log is about 540KB in size, so that doesn't seem unreasonable or too large to clear quickly. (despite being an IT guy with zero patience, I did wait several minutes after clicking Clear Log before refreshing!)

I just created a new sub-page, added HTML content and the Image Gallery (Simple Folder Version) to the Center panel. Click View Page and I get the error message, with no updates in the log. Does this possibly point to a permissions issue? Can I force-clear the log? I do have direct access to both SQL and the web server.

I had not been actively running the site when I recovered the old Hyper-V host. Log dates jump from 2021-07-26 when I shut the servers down to 2022-05-28 when I started bringing guests online to verify operation and plan the migration. 06/08 is probably when I shut down services so I could copy content and backup/restore SQL to the new server(s). The new server shows 6/18 dates on most of the folders but the expected older timestamps on files.

Can you take a look at your System Log (Administration > System Log)? It will give you details about the problem. Post the details here and we'll do our best to help. 

You may want to clear the log, cause the error, and then check the log again so you don't have any clutter to sift through.

Thanks,
Joe

I built a new web server - Server 2022, latest IIS, DotNET, and MojoPortal. New SQL server as well, latest versions of all components for MS SQL (separate server). Using the default skin for now while getting things set up.

I copied the website folder to the new web server, backed up the SQL DB and restored it on the new SQL server. Performed the standard configuration/migration steps. When I launched the website, everything looked great - until - I selected the page with the image gallery, which displayed the Aw Shucks error. This page had HTML and 3 Gallery objects in the center pane. After removing the Gallery objects, the page would load. Adding the Image Gallery to the page but it fails to add any images whether individually or in bulk. Adding either the "Better Image Gallery" or the "Image Gallery (Simple Folder Version)" immediately displays the Aw Shucks error page with no opportunity to configure or try adding images.

I verified that the folder is writable by the IIS process App Pool. Not sure what is causing this but none of the Gallery objects are working. Appreciate any thoughts / insight you might offer.

We're hoping to make a mojo release real soon and I know we've been saying that for a while. We have the MSSQL release feature complete and it's been running for a long time on production sites. We just need to get the mysql, pgsql, and sqlite releases updated.

Thanks,
Joe

Also, embedding other sites doesn't always work. There are security and other issues. It's hit and miss and I'm not sure on all the details of why some work and some don't. I can embed youtube, facebook widget, other widgets provided by services...but I can't just pull in some mainstream site into my site via iframe.

We have been using Event Calendar Pro for many years, therefore have hundreds of entries.

When staff are searching our intranet, they are getting search results from the Calendar from years ago that are not relevant.

Is the only option to remove Calendar from the Search criteria? If so, where do I do this? Can you think of anything else where we can selectively remove entries from a specific period?

Kind regards, Sandy

Do you know if GoDaddy is using ModSecurity in front of your server?

Thanks,
Joe

Per the thread mentioned above, I confirmed in Chrome's F12 that I'm getting the following script error: 

net::ERR_ABORTED 403 (ModSecurity Action)

Since it's a 403 error, I confirmed the app pool identity has write permissions for the App_Data and Data folders but I realize I wouldn't be getting to the home page if this wasn't set correctly.

When I look at my web.config, I found the section containing the ScriptResource.axd is already commented out. Uncommenting it results in a 500 error so I guess my server is "correctly configured".

This is a clean install of mojo 2.7 on a new windows server 2022 vps hosted at Godaddy using Sql Server Express 2019. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Edit: although I see Jamie tried above and he got an error too. Still, always something to try.

When I run the site under IIS on my local machine it loads perfectly, but uploading it to two different hosting services (Arvixe and MilesWeb) I am getting the same problem on both - it used to work perfectly on Arvixe until they upgraded me.  What is more confusing is that one of my sites (www.merseysummerquiz.org.uk) works perfectly on both hosts.  I am very confused!

The bug with Expired Posts was fixed a while back but we haven't made a formal release yet. Anyone building their own against the repo should be good to go.

The bug with Featured Post is caused, as Sandy mentioned, by marking a post as featured and then deleting that post. I've fixed it in code and will push to the repo today. You can fix it in the database by running the following SQL.

UPDATE mp_ModuleSettings SET SettingValue = '' WHERE SettingName = 'FeaturedPostId';

If you have more than one blog on your site, be sure to find your ModuleID and use this SQL instead. To find your ModuleID, go to PageManager, locate your page and click the 'Edit Page' option, then locate the blog module and click the settings icon. The ModuleID will be in the url of the Module Settings page as ?mid=MODULEID.

UPDATE mp_ModuleSettings SET SettingValue = '' WHERE SettingName = 'FeaturedPostId' AND ModuleID = MODULEID;

We have a great release in the works but unfortunately fully testing it and getting the other (mysql,pgsql,sqlite) database layers ready keeps taking a backseat to paying work. If anyone wants to help, we'd be very happy to have it.

I'm sorry this silly bug has been there so long. The fix was ridiculously easy. lol

Thanks!
Joe

Thank you for posting your experience. On my site, Joe worked out that this happened because someone deleted a post that was marked as Featured. It had to be fixed through SQL because the Blog couldn't be accessed from the GUI. I also have another issue accessing Blog Administration.

These bugs will be fixed in the next version, due for release soon!

Kind regards, Sandy

Jamie

mojoPortal Version: 2.7.0.0. MSSQL
Blog Schema Version: 2.6.1.9

We have a test site that I'll get our DB administrator to fresh with our live DB. I can see that I may be able to publish the Blog back to the home page but I didn't want to click the button on the live site in case it took the intranet home page offline again.

I'll log a ticket after this.

Kind regards, Sandy

What version of mojoPortal are you using?

It would probably be best if we were able to connect to your server and take a look it that way.

You can order a support ticket from here. We won't charge anything if the problem turns out to be a bug in mojoPortal.

Thanks,
Joe

I think this error finally caught up with us. Someone added a new article which caused the Blog feature to error. The Blog is on the home page of our intranet there was an error every time someone tried to load the home page - it was the Ah Shucks page. This is from the logs, but I can't get back to the original log error where I found where the Blog was edited. Checking the SQL tables did not show anything rogue.

2022-01-18 16:06:21,940 ERROR 192.168.100.177 - en-AU - /default.aspx - mojoPortal.Web.Global - Referrer(https://<intranet-url>/Error.htm?aspxerrorpath=/default.aspx) useragent Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/96.0.4664.110 Safari/537.36
System.Data.NoNullAllowedException: Column 'ItemID' does not allow nulls.

My fix was to remove the Blog feature from the home page and the home page came back up, of course without the Blog.

I can see the Blog in the Content Manager and View/Edit it. There is a red warning "This feature was not designed for publishing on multiple pages. You should not edit this feature from Content Manager, you should only edit this feature from the page it is published on."

The Blog is no longer published on any page. Is there any way to reconnect it?

Kind regards, Sandy

I tried copying and pasting the rewrite code but I am getting a 500 - Internal Server Error. It looks like our web server needs the URL Rewriter module.

Hi Jamie

Thanks for your method, we can try to do this in the meantime.

Apologies in getting back to you both but thank you for responding and your advice.

Kind regards, Sandy

If you have the passwords, you should be able to login.

The site could be configured to use a username instead of the email address. Be sure you're trying both.

You can check the log located on the server. It will be in <site root>\data\currentlog.config

If you can't get into the site, we can help you through a support ticket. Just submit your info over here.

Thanks,
Joe

However, it appears that nobody can log into the site to make updates

Clear text passwords have been extracted from the underlying MSSQL database, but still the login fails

Any ideas please

Thanks for responding. Here are the logs after clicking on the link. The log errors before that are around an RSS feed link that is broken.

Since we upgraded our mojoportal version a year or so ago, we now get the error below when clicking on the Expired Posts link for our Blog Administration. The URL is http://*******.org.au/Blog/ClosedPosts.aspx?pageid=1&mid=6 and redirects to http://*******.org.au/Error.htm?aspxerrorpath=/Blog/ClosedPosts.aspx. 

The error message is the standard Ah, shucks! message.

I am not a web developer but have some basic skills. Can anyone direct me on how I could fix this please? Who is keen for a challenge? :)

Thank you, Sandy

I'm implementing these changes:

1. Password format dropdown box is disabled by default.
2. Require a button to be pressed to enable the password format dropdown box.
   1. Button is disabled if the AllowPasswordFormatChange is set to false in web.config/user.config (this is already the case with the dropdown)
   2. Button is disabled if the site being used to edit the site settings is not the "ServerAdminSite"

I'm adding these roadmap items

1. Remove the clear text option entirely. There's no good reason for it anymore. Existing sites will be switched to hashed/salted on upgrade.
2. Reset or expire all user passwords. This will be disabled by default and will only be allowed by admins on the server "ServerAdminSite".

Thanks,
Joe

For instance, if the old link was

https://mysite.co/data/sites/1/media/PDFs/MyPDF.pdf

When the MyPDF.pdf  file is updated, you can change the URL to something like:

https://mysite.co/data/sites/1/media/PDFs/MyPDF.pdf?v=2

The "v=2" query string doesn't do anything but ensure all browsers will pick up the new file regardless of cache status.

You can use UrlRewrite to change the cache-control header for specific file types.  Merge the following into your web.config file after the httpErrors section of system.webServer. You'll want to add additional file types in the preCondition section. If your web server doesn't have the url rewrite module, you'll need to add it.

<rewrite>
    <outboundRules>
        <rule name="RewriteCacheControlForSpecificFileTypes" preCondition="NoCacheFileTypes">
            <match serverVariable="RESPONSE_Cache_Control" pattern=".*" />
            <action type="Rewrite" value="max-age=0,no-store" />
        </rule>
        <preConditions>
            <preCondition name="NoCacheFileTypes" logicalGrouping="MatchAny">
                <add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" pattern="\.pdf$" />
                <add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" pattern="\.docx$" />
            </preCondition>
        </preConditions>
    </outboundRules>
</rewrite>

The max-age=0 value will clear the browser's existing cache for these file types and the no-store value will prevent the browser from caching these file types again.

Hope this helps,

Joe

We use mojoportal for our intranet and upload new versions of files with the same filename so we don't have to update hyperlinks across the intranet.

However if the user has downloaded the document previously, it remains cached and the new version will not download until you right click on the document and select refresh. This is not ideal but a workaround for PDF's.

I understand this is a browser issue but is there any code I can put into the master template to force the browser not to cache documents? Alternatively, is there a similar setting to force caching based on age?

Thank you, Sandy

We were able to restore everything easily enough, but the worry is how did this happen? Only one person accessed the site settings over the affected period (we know this from IIS logs), and he is an experienced developer who knows what he's doing - he was simple setting the site to Closed, then unclosing it a few minutes later after a code update. He swears on everything that he did not make this change, and cannot see how he could have done it accidentally either.

But we can see no other possibility than somehow he made this change accidentally while using the site settings page. 

So I'm wondering a) is there any other possibility for how this happened, and b) could this setting be better protected to prevent this change? For example a control that needs to be "unlocked" to make a change, or at least showing a warning and confirm/cancel dialogue? Or even remove this from the UI completely and have it as only settable in the database. I don't think there can ever be a scenario where this would be a desirable change, and surely all sites should be in "Hashed in db/Cannot be decrypted" mode?

I'm just logging our direct email conversation here for others.

The problem with your setup is your host doesn't allow you to attach more than one domain to a website. That being the case, you can't use the multi-sites feature of mojoPortal.

Thanks,
Joe

I tried, but of course it doesn't work at all. both the primary and second sites reside on the same machine with the same IP. I'm talking about shared hosting (aruba) and the dns of the two sites pointing to the same IP because it is the same machine.

I followed your instructions to the letter but it can't work. it is a shared hosting.

therefore on that server it is possible that there are as many as 200 domains. in fact all my sites are on that machine. if I enter the host name of the second domain, however, by going to the second site he will never be able to point to the first ... even if the DNS points to the same IP.

don't work  don't work

It will still work the same way with your domains:

1. Login to the existing mojoPortal site (there should be only one at this point, www.main.it).
2. Go Administration > Site List and click "Create New Site"
3. Give your new site a name and click the Save button. This will be your second site.
4. The site will be saved and the Site Settings page will refresh.
5. Click the "Site Mappings" tab.
6. Enter the hostname/domain for the second site (www.second.it) in the text box under the "Host Names" heading and click the "Add Host Name" button.
7. In your DNS provider, make sure the IP Address for the hostname/domain you entered in the previous step is set to the same IP Address as the first site you setup.
   For Example: if your main mojo site is at "main.it" and it's IP Address is "1.2.3.4", and your second site (that you are creating with these instructions) is supposed to be at "second.it" (as entered in the step above), the IP Address for "second.it" needs to be "1.2.3.4".
8. You should now be able to browse to the new site you just created.

Thanks,
Joe

let me explain.

main domain (www.main.it) while the site to be shared by users will be (www.second.it)

You do not need a second IIS site. Everything is done with one install of mojoPortal on a single site, pointing to a single database.

Remove your second site from IIS and then do the following:

1. Login to the existing mojoPortal site (there should be only one at this point).
2. Go Administration > Site List and click "Create New Site"
3. Give your new site a name and click the Save button. This will be your second site.
4. The site will be saved and the Site Settings page will refresh.
5. Click the "Site Mappings" tab.
6. Enter the hostname/domain for the second site in the text box under the "Host Names" heading and click the "Add Host Name" button.
7. In your DNS provider, make sure the IP Address for the hostname/domain you entered in the previous step is set to the same IP Address as the first site you setup.
   For Example: if your main mojo site is at "mymojosite.com" and it's IP Address is "1.2.3.4", and your second site (that you are creating with these instructions) is supposed to be at "site2.mymojosite.com" (as entered in the step above), the IP Address for "site2.mymojosite.com" needs to be "1.2.3.4".
8. You should now be able to browse to the new site you just created.

The video I created shows all of this.

I'm afraid I didn't know how to explain.

I explain step by step what I did. I DID NOT COPY the content from the first site to the second but I did a NEW INSTALL with the connection string of the first site. the first domain, which we will call, www.a.it already has a site that has been running for years. in a second domain that we will call www.b.it I made a NEW mojo installation using the connection string of the same database of domain A. they are two different physical domains even if they reside on the same server machine. it happens that the site on domain B shares the users but also the whole structure and content.

I don't understand if I have to do something in DNS management, and if so of which domain?

I think you are creating a second site in your control panel and copying the mojoportal files from the first one to the second one. You don't need to do that. 

I've created a video here that shows how to go about setting this up. 

Thanks,
Joe

I installed a mojo installation on the second dminio by configuring the same database as the first site. users are shared, but also structure and content of the site. while I would like to share users only

but I meant on a shared host. meaning two different domains even if on the same server and therefore the same IP. with each their own web space. on the dns I should not do anything then?

If both domains are on the same IP Addres (server), you don't need to install anything. Just add the domain to the first website using Aruba's control panel, then create a new site using mojoPortal (Administration > Site List > Add Site), and then set the domain on the Site Mappings tab of the second site.

Step-by-step instructions are here.

Thanks,
Joe

if i had the two domains on the same server, i mean same IP address, consider that i am talking about shared hosting on aruba. the steps to take are:

• install mojo on the second domain, configuring it with the database of the first domain.
• configure the first domain to use multisite, as suggested and as per the guide.

but at the DNS level I don't have to do anything else?
