DNN 7 / EVOQ : update containers path using SQL query

Here is a little tip if you have configured a lot of modules with different containers and you need to change the name of the containers.

Three step operation:

1. Find the containers you need to update:

   select * from TabModules where ContainerSrc like '%YourSkinName%' order by ContainerSrc 

   
   
2. Update the container’s names:
    
   Old container: EmptyTestRed.ascx
   New container:EmptyTestYellow.ascx
   Skin Path: [G]Containers/YourSkinName/
   Query :
   

   
   

   update TabModules set ContainerSrc = '[G]Containers/YourSkinName/EmptyTestYellow.ascx' where ContainerSrc = '[G]Containers/YourSkinName/EmptyTestRed.ascx'

   
   
3. Navigate to Host > Host Settings > Advanced Settings > Performance Settings and click on the “Clear cache” button.
   

   
   

Another option is to disable the DNN Cache, don’t try it , the CMS will become very unresponsive.

That’s all!
