Gregory Demotchkine answered the question Edit Mode - How to disable modules greyed out

Thanks Julien, your suggestion works fine!
Any side-effects to this fix ?

@Sunil - I looked through several skin css, but haven't found the edit state.

@Gary - totally agree, this is rubbish and eye straining, I wish I've thought about asking this in the exchange months ago!

@DNNCorp, if you are listening guys, this greying out business should be handled somewhere i(for example in site setting) and this should be handled with a little itty bitty checkbox.

Take a look at the Telerik library

The runtime DLL is included in the DNN package.

Gregory Demotchkine answered the question DNN6 vs DNN7 Speed Comparison

@Joe My DNN7 site has installed fine, nothing special.
I've added some modules and some pages so things seem to work ok, as I've said in my post, I did try optimize the settings, let me know if you need the details.

I'm fearing that it's the app poo of my provider.
I do not know how they set things up , but if if the app pool is mutualized with other clients websites, I'd bet good money that the .net 4/4/5 is way more popular, hence the terrible ping and speed...

Any thoughts?

Joe Brinkman answered the question DNN6 vs DNN7 Speed Comparison

We did internal testing prior to the release of 7.0 to look at overall performance. We ran this same testing against 5.x and 6.x builds and found that 7.0 was in the same performance range as earlier releases. Some tests showed it slightly faster, others showed it slightly slower but all of them were in the 300-400 ms time on our test environment (a few later 6.x releases were in the 600-800 range).

The performance you are seeing is not normal and I would look at your configuration to ensure that there wasn't an installation issue.

Joe Brinkman answered the question Is there something like a "Radio Tree"?

While I don't know of a control that shows radio buttons, you can use the DnnComboBox to display a hierarchical tree of values. Since it is a combobox, only one value can be selected. Given that the DnnComboBox is just a wrapper around the Telerik RadComboBox, you should be able to write a template to use radio-buttons if you so desire.

Michael Tobisch asked the question Is there something like a "Radio Tree"?

Hi,

for a project I am looking for a specific control that looks like a Dropdownlist but instead of a list it should contain a hierarchical list (tree). The user should be able to open/close branches and select exactly one item (like a radio buttons list). Here is a mockup: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/18190216/radiotree.png

Is there somehting like this?

This default of greying out the page in edit mode is terrible. It really needs to be removed.

Gregory Demotchkine asked the question DNN6 vs DNN7 Speed Comparison

Hi everyone,
I am really interested in your feeback.

I'm getting really strange bench results. I'm testing both examples on 1&1 shared hosting. Same server, so between the tests I change the .Net 2/3.5 for the fist bench and to 4/4.5 for the second one.

for my DNN6.1 installation which is quite clean and slim, I'm getitng 600-800 ms ping and the stie really loads up fast and is quite responsive.

for my 7.06 clean installation, I'm ping a clean welcome page and I am getting 5000 - 7000 ms and the overall performance is quite sluggish.

10 times the difference?

I've run each test for a week to be sure of the results. I've kept pinging the keepalive.aspx as well to ensure that the pool does not recycle. I've followed most of the suggestions about optimizing speed for a production server.

What are your experiences please? I find it hard to believe that DNN7 is slower than 6 ????

nick karatz answered the question Custom registration form type in registration page issue

To make it clearer, my problem is that I cannot find a way to customize registration form, by adding profile properties, to my own registration page.
Can anyone tell me what am I doing wrong or what is the best way to succeed such a thing or whatever alternative there is?
Thank you...

Scott Wilkinson answered the question DAL2 - How get value from joined column if that column not belongs to table that represents entity object?

Nickolay,

I do have an example project you can download where I use a composite object with the [IgnoreColumn] attribute. I'm not sure this is the scaleable approach you are looking for.

http://www.dotnetnuclear.com/articles/tabid/88/ID/10/Advanced-DotNetNuke-Rich-Client-Modules--Knockoutjs-jQuery-and-Services-Framework.aspx#Files

It doesn't appear that DAL2 has integrated PetaPoco's Relation Extensions yet. http://nuget.org/packages/PetaPoco.RelationExtensions

You could try using a Schema-bound View in your TableName() attribute. I have not tried it yet so I'm not sure how well it would work.

Joe Brinkman answered the question Skinning 101 Series

We recently migrated the site to DNN Social and in the migration process we broke a few items. Because we were running some early CTP builds of the social modules before, everything did not migrate as cleanly as we hoped. The team spent some time this week cleaning up the broken pieces and it looks like that link is now working again.

PS: Hope you liked the blog post ;)

Mike Ryckman answered the question DnnFormComboBoxItem

This is just a copy of my answer in your forum question...

Hi Marappan,

Presumably you're referring to the DnnComboBox, which is a DNN wrapper for the RadComboBox that's part of the telerik controls. If that's the case, you should be referencing the DNN web controls library with this:



and then you can use it by doing

To make the SelectedIndexChanged event fire, you need to make sure you tell the box to postback automatically: AutoPostBack="True"

Hope this helps,

Mike

Phil Speth answered the question Bcc

DNN provides a number of download options for each version.
Install is for first time installs.
Upgrade is a smaller set designed specifically update an existing install
Source is as you can imagine an install designed for developers.
You can get them here:
https://dotnetnuke.codeplex.com/releases/view/105676

Training materials found here include Developer info.
http://www.dotnetnuke.com/Resources/Training/Tutorials.aspx
In the DNN wiki you can find Developer Quickstart info.

If non of this relates to your question please clarify what you would like to know.

I think more likely scenario will be that a vendor will step up and add to the features that are now quite basic.

Phil Speth answered the question Profile Properties for Registration Page

If you have existing users and you add new required fields, I have seen it lose the ability to save.
It has something to do with existing users not having all required fields entered.

Test User asked the question The case of the disappearing login fields

We've been having an odd problem with the /login.aspx page lately. It has been intermittently failing to display the login fields (i.e. the username and password text inputs).

Here's the HTML sent to the browser for that particular pane:























There are also two GET AJAX calls that get fired:

What happened to the login fields?

Thanks!
