A couple of months ago dnn-europe.net organized the first European Day of DotNetNuke; a free conference for DotNetNuke users. I had a session on Mobile Smart Phone Developement and how important it is to ensure that the DNN community is aware of the growing mobile market. With DNN's continued growth we need to be ready to embrace and reach out to this very important market. During the session SalarO released a free iPhone App and a companion DNN module to showcase a typical useful application that required custom development on both DNN and iPhone as an example.

This is a summary of the talk and will be followed up with another Blog next month’s on Skin Development serving both Web Users and Mobile users with varying requirements.

When optimizing your DNN for search engine rankings many factors come into play, but optimizing your Title Tags and Meta Description Tags will make a world of difference. Great Title and Description Tags Will Make Your Rankings Soar and not having anything there will kill your ranking.

Not much has changed on this front since DNN 2.x and here are some thoughts on the subject.

This is just a simple work around to fix this for IE whilst looking for suggestions with regards to other browsers specially FireFox.

At last a great fix for the IE ActiveX issue with Flash It seems that we have managed to do a fairly simple core change and it has done the job nicely as all the flash files in what ever shape or form now works in the portal including all the child portals. It also cures the double click issue.

This fix is much more elegant than the Macromedia/Adobe fix. Adobe fix is much more laborious and causes considerable amount of pain. Their change does not touch the core but It involves js to be in skin folder and the flash codes to be changed. This is fine to do on hard coded skins but not so good if you have many pages with flash in text/html module. Almost an impossible task for my customers with large amount of legacy pages with flash. None coders in the community have no chance of being able to apply the fix.

I had to find a solution that fixed the core and I think this one seems to do it so well

Here is the link to the two files
