After so much inspiration from the OpenForce conferences, where Charles Nurse and Vicenç Masanas created advanced versions of the Announcements module, it really felt good creating a new version of the module. Although the number of new features are small, under the hood, a lot has changed. Read More »

Yesterday i finished work on the new version of the Announcements module. After some internal testing, I will submit the module to the module release tracker this Friday, and i hope it will be ready for release early January.

This module will be the last DNN 3.3.x / ASP.NET 1.1. version (the module will not run in DNN 3.0.x, 3.1.x, 3.2.x or 4.0.x). Besides a couple of new features, this module also finaly completes the reintroduction of the expire date field ... Read More »

Now that version 03.03.05 is released, and will be included in DNN 3.3.6 / 4.3.6, I've begun planning of the next version of the Announcement Module, which will be version 03.04.00.

Right now, i've decided to include the following fixes and features:

• finish reintroduction of the expire date, and enhance display features for the expire date (ie. give module editors a way to see expired items, and possibly, include the expired items in an arch ... Read More »

A few hours ago the "new" version of the announcements module has been released to platinum benefactors for testing purposes. This is one of the final stages in the module release process, as the module passed all previous stages. I expect this version to be release to the public fairly soon as well.

The new process release tracker is a great tool to allow for all parties to clearly see and communicate what tests are being conducted, what tests passed and what tests fa ... Read More »

I get quite a bit of questions about the source version of the announcement module. Due to the way DNN Modules are packaged automatically, the sources are all contained in a zip file. This would not have caused any problems if the zipfile would be named logically, however, in the case of DNN core modules (or rather.. the ones that are packaged the way they should be), the zipfile is named: "DNN_[modulename].resources", no doubt the reason why many people are not able to locate th ...

If you upgraded your dnn install from a pre DotNetNuke 3.3.0/4.3.0 site, you will have noticed that the expiry date was removed from the announcement module, which might have lead to old announcements to be displayed again.

The ExpireDate column was removed in version 3.3.0 of the announcements module, which, quite frankly, should not have been done. At the same time, a new History (Days) setting was introduced in the module, offering a similar, but less granular contro ... Read More »
