As many of you know, the next major release of DotNetNuke ( 4.4.0 ) is focused entirely on performance and scalability improvements. However, in order to accurately identify the areas of DotNetNuke which needed to be tuned or optimized, it was first necessary to have a solid understanding of how IIS and ASP.NET operate in Windows hosting environment. In our research we found surprisingly few resources on this subject; especially resources which presented the information in a clear and concise manner. Therefore...

Wow, I have struck gold, flash gold!!! I have never been a big Flash fan for several reason, the largest being it is often miss used and because a distraction on websites rather than a tool for helping people navigate the site. The other reason is that Flash has always been a Designer tool and not so much a developer’s tool. The one thing I have always likes about Flash is that it is cross browser (either it is or is not installed) and it holds state, allows drag and drop, etc.

 As part of our DotNetNuke Module Review program, we have implemented a standard configuration that aids in testing various DotNetNuke features. The aim of our configured test environment was to make it as easy as possible to determine when a given module was not meeting certain review criteria. In the screencast presented here, I show you how we setup the database to make testing for the proper use of {databaseOwner} and {objectQualifier} tags in your SqlDataProvider scripts.

This is the first part in a series of Blogs I intend to write on DotNetNuke Performance.
I recently spent 4 days in Redmond working in the Patterns and Practices groups Testing Lab, and I would like to express my appreciation to a number of people at Microsoft for arranging for this valuable experience, and knowledge transfer. Firstly, my thanks go to Eugenio Pace of the Patterns and Practices group for allowing us to spend 4 days in the testing lab, and to Carlos Ferre, the Patterns and Practices Performance...

Unfortunately, several DotNetNuke default resource files have issues for several versions, leading into additional effort during localization. To support translators, I provide corrected en-US language packs, that can be uploaded like any other DNN language pack.

Hi everyone. I want to apologize because it was a long time without any news about the provider and myself. The truth is that sometimes real life could take more time than expected (My new beautiful daughter).
The new version (01.00.07) of the provider is ready and all it needs is to be published, but it could take some time because the core team has a new process to ensure real quality on each DNN part involved. Hope to have it published this week.
The 01.00.07 version fixes a lot of bugs and...

DotNetNuke 3.3.6 / 4.3.6 was released earlier today. Although this was mainly a stabilization release, there are a number of key concepts which I think deserve a more detailed explanation.
Over the past couple years, one of the common complaints we have heard from the community is that we sometimes take an exceptionally long time between releases. This generally happens when we are busy working on substantial enhancements which have deep ramifications on the architecture and require greater stabilization...

The newly released 3.3.6/4.3.6 versions, contain a number of security fixes. These were brought to our attention by David Kirby & Christiaan Mellars of Risborrow Information Systems Ltd. One of the bulletins discusses an issue rated as critical and the other discusses two problems fixed as part of a To fix these issues you are recommended to update to either 3.3.6 or 4.3.6.

Well, it's been around a month or so since we announced the changes in the Wiki Project, what's happened in that last month? Quite a bit. Josh is now official in his role within the DotNetNuke project, and we've gotten a place to upload the source code of the project so that we can get it into the DotNetNuke system and process.
I hope to have all of the code setup in our system before the end of the weekend so that...

I have been receiving may requests for information / support via Blog comments lately that I think should really be forum post since they are not so much comments as they are requests for support or other feedback. This made me start thinking is there a fundamental difference in what should be asked in a Blog vs. a Forum.

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 archived view
display future (not published) items only for module editors ...

A member of our beta tester team for the News module brought up a very good point about testing the newest version of the module against alternate stylesheets. We do not currently have a good set of custom stylesheets that are being used in the real world by people, so I would like to ask anyone interested to please send me their custom stylesheets. This will provide us a good set to test against, as well as help to guarantee those that are nice enough to send us their examples don't break upon upgrade :). ...
