DotNetNuke® Project :: Announcements Module

The announcements module is a basic module used for displaying news items on your site. During all DotNetNuke® versions, the module did not change very much, but starting from DNN 3.3.0, some new features have been added, with more to come.

Recently, the module was upgraded to ASP.NET 2.0, and requires DotNetNuke 4.6.2 to run. Currently the features are:

  • Abillity to add multiple announcements in one module
  • Support for ISearchable (Search and RSS)
  • Basic support for IPortable (Module import an export)
  • Items are templatable. Parsing of the templates is done by the DotNetNuke core token replace functionality

 

For the year 2008, the following new features will be implemented:

  • Paging
  • Inline detail view
  • Categories and / tags
  • Enhanced RSS feeds

It's very good to see more and more people creating new projects on DNN Forge. One thing that might not be very obvious, but very usefull nevertheless is tagging your project properly. I've been searching for DotNetNuke projects on CodePlex a few times now, and up untill now there are 45 projects on CodePlex that have something to do with dotnetnuke. I've added the tag DotNetNuke t ... Read More »

The Dutch language pack for DotNetNuke has been updated for DNN 4.8.2. This and all other versions are available for download from the Dutch usergroup website: http://netherlands.dnn-usergroup.net (registration required). Special thanks goes to Marc Hujbregts, who has been working very hard to keep the language pack updated. The usergroup site also offers language packs for most core modules.

Today I had to upgrade an old DNN 3.2.2 multiportal installation to DNN 4.8.1. There are 3 major areas that changed in the past DotNetNuke versions:

  1. New contstraints and unique indexes on Files table
  2. DNN Membership provider
  3. Consolidation of http handlers in one assembly

In order to smoothly pass the third change, I always do a 2-step upgrade. First to DNN 4.5.5, then t ... Read More »

... or how I learned an old lesson: always check whether the name of the module you release doesnt actually exist somewhere else.

Today i received a mail from a fellow DNN Developer, asking to rename the UserSwitcher module to something else, as they have been selling that module for a long time now. I usually actually check to see if a module name already exists, as it is very confusing to end users to have different modules with the same name.

Anyhow, I cha ... Read More »

A while ago i created a small utility that allowed me to easily switch between users in a portal. This is extremely usefull if you are developing a module or a site and you want to test different permissions for different users.

The current version of the module allow ... Read More »

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 »
