Delete Soft Deleted Users After Deleting Portals(www.willstrohl.com)

submitted by hismightiness(549) 1 year, 11 months ago

My blog site was originally one of many in a single DotNetNuke® installation or instance. Since it has grown in popularity and traffic, I had to move it to it’s own standalone DNN instance. The quickest way to make that happen was to move a copy of the original instance, and delete all of the other portals that came with it. In doing so, this left all of the users from the other portals still in the Users table in the database. read more...

oEmbed API Wrapper for .Net Released(www.willstrohl.com)

submitted by hismightiness(549) 2 years ago

I happened across a REST standard for importing remote content today called oEmbed. It uses REST to display embedded content from other websites. This specific method avoids (but doesn’t get rid of) XSS issues that are experienced with importing content from other websites. Using either JSON or XML, you make a GET request using the oEmbed standard, which will return the remote content that you can embed into your own website. read more...

Sharing Sharepoint for the Holidays with Holliday(willstrohl.com)

submitted by hismightiness(549) 2 years, 3 months ago

Well, that’s the title that our Director of Education, James Taylor (JT), at the Orlando .Net User Group has hashed up. I like it. It’s catchy and fun. December user group meetings tend to fade in terms of attendance, so having a catchy title for the meeting might help. Anyhow, this meeting is going to be about SharePoint, and is featuring John Holliday. If you do not know who John is, he is a Microsoft SharePoint MVP and author on the topic. read more...

October 2009 ODUG Meeting was a Blast!(willstrohl.com)

submitted by hismightiness(549) 2 years, 3 months ago

Like every other month, we had our monthly Orlando DotNetNuke® Users Group (ODUG) meeting last week. This was an important meeting too. Since recently being appointed as the Vice President of the Orlando .Net User Group (ONETUG), my time is going to be more valuable than ever before. This was going to effect me in all areas, including my consulting work and my time normally spent on ODUG duties. (Hehehe… I said “doodie”.) So, it was already way overdue, but I spent some time last night trying to inspire some of our members to step up and join the ODUG board. read more...

submitted by hismightiness(549) 2 years, 4 months ago

Yesterday, I had the honor of speaking about DotNetNuke® at the second annual South West Florida Code Camp. Code camps are a great way to meet new people that you can network with about technology. Last year, I missed my opportunity to do this at this particular code camp. This year, I was making up for it with 3 sessions about DotNetNuke®. As it turns out, it was a good thing I was there. read more...

Injection Module v1.00.04 Released for DotNetNuke(willstrohl.com)

submitted by hismightiness(549) 2 years, 4 months ago

There is a new version of the WillStrohl.Injection Module available for download. If you are unfamiliar with this module, once you drop it onto a page in DotNetNuke®, it allows you to inject HTML-based content into the mark-up on your DNN website. I have written, licensed, and made this module available as a free and open source project so that everyone can benefit from it. This module could be useful for any number of use-cases. Some of the more popular use cases have turned out to be for jQuery, Google Analytics, Google Adsense, and more. read more...

DotNetNuke 5 Ignores the Compatible Versions Node(willstrohl.com)

submitted by hismightiness(549) 2 years, 5 months ago

In nearly all of my modules, I include the compatibleversions node in the manifest file for my modules. The reason I do this is simple. I want to prevent my module from being installed on DotNetNuke® sites that I do not want to support, or cannot support. Think about that for a moment… read more...

Lightbox Gallery Module v1.00.00 Released(willstrohl.com)

submitted by hismightiness(549) 2 years, 5 months ago

As I mentioned in a previous blog entry, I am speaking at the Jacksonville Code Camp this weekend. My topic is “Using jQuery in DotNetNuke Development”. In outlining and planning my presentation, I quickly realized that a real-world example will be necessary in order to effectively express my points to attendees. So, I began to think… What kind of module could I write that would allow me to demonstrate integrating jQuery in several ways? read more...

DotNetNuke Blogs I Read and Why(willstrohl.com)

submitted by hismightiness(549) 2 years, 5 months ago

Looking through the myriads of questions and answers out there, and the quality of blogger content out there that focuses on DotNetNuke®, it is quickly apparent that many people out there are not familiar with all of the better DNN blogs out there. So, to help solve that for the folks that might be readers of my blog, I have decided to occasionally feature a DNN blog that I read, and tell you why I read that particular blog. Hopefully, I introduce you to a new blog that you cannot live without! read more...

Google Reader Adds "Send To" Feature(willstrohl.com)

submitted by hismightiness(549) 2 years, 5 months ago

I don’t know about you, but my RSS Reader of choice is Google Reader. It’s chock full of features, fast, and I can access it everywhere. With feature updates like the one I am about to talk about, it only gets better. There may be a better reader out there, but so far, this one suits me just fine. Google Reader is the main tool I use to keep up with all things DotNetNuke®. read more...

Shared (or Static) Methods versus Singleton Methods(willstrohl.com)

submitted by hismightiness(549) 2 years, 5 months ago

I was in the middle of refactoring an entire class library this morning when the solution to a few of my problems came in the form of changing a Shared method to a Singleton method, and vice versa. The question then hit me, “Is there something I don’t know about the tradeoffs of using each?” I set out to research this a bit, reminding myself of some things I have forgotten over time. read more...

SEO Tip: Submitting All of Your Blog URLs to Search Engines(willstrohl.com)

submitted by hismightiness(549) 2 years, 10 months ago

DotNetNuke does a pretty good job of providing an XML Site Map for your to submit to the major search engines. However, it does not contain any dynamic URLs. A good example of what I am talking about is the DNN core Blog module. This module dynamically generates a new URL that will not show up in the Site Map that is generated by DNN. read more...

FizzBin - The Technical Support Secret Handshake(hanselman.com)
