While setting up an installation of DNN for a client I ran into an issue of not being able to display the Image Gallery from within the FCK Editor on an HTML/Text Module.  My first instinct with this was that I did not have read permissions on the "/Portals/0/" folder within the DNN...

One of the big complaints that I have seen over the years with DotNetNuke has been the horrible URL’s that get produced by the framework.  This is a problem that is part of most dynamically created content on the web, not only DotNetNuke.

For the successful Content Management Systems, they have come up with ways to make these ugly URL’s more human friendly.  DNN did this back in about version 3.0 with the introduction of Friendly...

Paul Scarlett of tressleworks.ca has created a Visual Basic Script to re-package DNN 4.0 skins into the new format for DNN 5.0.

The script is designed to unzip an existing skin/container package and then generate the appropriate manifest and then repackage it back up for deployment to a DNN 5.0 site.

He makes mention of requiring the following library to be installed on your system: XStandard XZip library.

With the release of the latest version of DotNetNuke 4.9, there have been some new improvements to things.  Some of these things won’t be apparent unless your paying close attention.  This post will not summarize the changes as I made a post previous to this that eluded to the changes.  This post will center around the new Styles skin object.

This skin object is new and allows us as skin developers to make better use of the styles that we use with our skins. ...

The latest release of the News Feeds module has made it through the project release cycle.  Peter Donker made the announcement on 8/24/2008.  He has chosen to completely rewrite the module to provide us in the Community with some very interesting options moving forward with this module.

The first one is Aggregation

The module uses a new version of the RSS Toolkit located at CodePlex.  This toolkit allows the module to aggregate feeds of different types together as one feed.

Hector Sosa of SystemWidgets has released a Windows Winform application that allows you to modify the User database in DotNetNuke. I’ve checked out the screen shots and it looks interesting and useful.  There is a download for the binary files as well as the source of the application.  More information can be found at his blog.

I figured since I have been blogging about DNN heavily that I should be  including a resource page for finding out things about DNN.  So I have started adding some pages which will store all things DotNetNuke.  My first page to add within this structure will be the inclusion of a page of free DNN Modules.  As I review them or use them on sites I will also provide some reviews of what I think of these modules.

While getting started with a new project and hopefully successful business venture.  One of the first things I did was to install the latest version of DotNetNuke 4.8.0.  The install went flawless as usual with DNN.  One of the things I love of the newer releases of DNN was the ability to test at each stage of the install.

During the initial install of DNN it checks to see if the database is at the same version as the DotNetNuke...
