It is finally here.  The latest release of the Store Project is now available for download.  I would also like to officially welcome Gilles Le Pigocher and Benot Sarton to the Store team.  Their efforts and patience have been instrumental to this release.  I would also like to thank Peter Donker who also helped with merging of the two Store Projects. 

Sebastien Leopold also deserves much credit for stepping up and making improvements to the release process.  Hopefully this will allow all of the DotNetNuke...

It's true.  See for yourself... Store Project Release Tracker

The Store made it through testing.  We only have two steps left to complete.  We are currently in the Staging phase which will be followed by Dogfooding. 

I still don't know exactly when it will be released, but it looks as though modules are starting to make progress in the release tracker.

We have just re-submitted Store 02.01.00 to the release tracker.  Our original submission had some issues SQL issues with localization that were present from the original release.  We also needed to clean up the Source install.  Gilles did a fantastic job with the new Source install package.  We are really hoping to make it all the way through this time.  Keep an eye on the release tracker for updates.

When DotNetNuke released version 4.5, we decided that the next version of Active Forums would only support DotNetNuke 4.5 and higher. Why? Because it's the best release we have seen yet and offers some of the latest technology functions that we can leverage in our products. If you haven't upgraded yet, why not? What I find really amazing is that we have had a handful of new customers purchase Active Forums 3.7 only to find out that they are stuck on an older version of DotNetNuke. DotNetNuke 3.x hasn't seen...

Store 02.01.00 has now officially entered the release process.  You can track the progress in the Project Release Tracker.

I wouldn't be surprised if it fails at some step of the process as this my first release.  However, we are ready to quickly fix and resubmit when a problem does arise.  Since I know it will be asked: I have no idea when it will be finally released. ...

A little over a month ago I was contacted by a member of the French DotNetNuke User Group.  Benoît Sarton explained to me that they have pretty much completed a new version of the Store.  To make a long story short, the French DotNetNuke User Group had put together a highly modified version of the Store that addresses nearly every need for Europeans trying to put together an on-line store.  As many of you know, the previous very version was lacking in several localization areas and other features necessary for...

As I mentioned in the previous update, a decision needed to be made about the development path of the store project.  After talking with some of the previous project participants I decided to use the code from the 1.1 release as the starting point. 

The first step was to convert the current code base over to VS 2005 and make it compatible with DNN 4.4.  Those of you familiar with the source code for the store know that their are several projects in the solution.  I let the VS 2005 Upgrade wizard do most...

A few years ago I had a very busy month and was working on several web site projects at once.  All of these web sites needed many of the same features.  I decided there had to be a way to build these sites more efficiently.  I began using IIBuySpy and shortly after became a DotNetNuke addict.  Also at that time I was running a small community website with a custom portal framework I developed.  I wanted to switch that site to DotNetNuke, but needed a forum module with a few unique features.  A few months later...
