I want to create a new module in DNN (VB) ... that;
1. does not use DAL or DAL+
2. has only one view.ascx control
3. It has to be a compiled module
I do not need DB connectivity and any bells and whistles just one view control. I thought it would be simple but googling for a day now and it seems very complicated.
I have the development environment already set up with;
1. DNN Starter kit
2. VS 2008
3. SQL server
4. DNN up and running in IIS
5. the project builds successfully
If anyone knows a way I can build a module using the DNN Dynamic Module Template in VS 2008 and then strip off the DAL and all the unnecessary layers and extra controls until I have only a working view.ascx that just prints out "Hello World!" to the screen ...
I have created a folder in DotNetNuke programmatically on the root portal directory. I just want to assign permissions to it only one time, for example I want to make it read only for authenticated users. Any advice on how to accomplish this using C# or VB.NEt?
View 1 Repliesi am working on a project that you can subscribe with your company name and you can use all features of site specificly to your company. for example company abcd can get its own url from our website like
www.test.com/abcd/productlist.aspx
company efgh can also login with its own url and see its product list.
www.test.com/efgh/productlist.aspx
I am thinking on the approach that will use Global.ascx file to distinguish companies, i will write code to extract company name from url in global.ascx for every valid request and in all the pages i will put this.form.action = request.rawurl.

View 11 RepliesI have an ASP.NET Web Forms Application in migration process to ASP.NET MVC 1. Urls are as follows:
[URL]
(hxxp because stackoverflow thinks they are links and prevents me from posting so many)
"mvc" is another application inside my Web Site in IIS7.
I now need to be able to do this:
[URL]
Where 'subsiteName' can be anything and must be checked in runtime. I can't create directories for each subsiteName.
I thought of UrlRewriting, so /subsiteName/* rewrites to /*, but then I'd have to rewrite from WebForms to MVC.
I can't imagine a way to make a request to [URL]ever be taken by the MVC application in this scenario.

View 1 RepliesI am new to DotNetNuke configuration side.
I want to download dotnetnuke 5.4 and want to install on my machine.
Environment:
OS Version: Win Vista
.Net: VS.Net 2008
SQL Server 2005
I can't to understand clearly how to create strong and quickly application using EF. For example, I have class ForumPost (table ForumPost) for select one of record I write method like:
public ForumPost ForumPost(int ForumPostID)
{
return
(from i in _dataContext.ForumPostSet
where i.ForumPostID == ForumPostID select i).First();
}
all works. But on page (I use ASP.NET MVC) I should display info from another linked tables, ForumName (each post have ForumID) etc. So, I modify this method to:
public ForumPost ForumPost(int ForumPostID)
{
return
(from i in _dataContext.ForumPostSet
.Include("ChildPosts").Include("ParentPost").Include("Users").Include("Forums").Include("Tags").Include("ForumPostPolls")
where i.ForumPostID == ForumPostID select i).First();
}
ok, all works. Then I want to make some actions in model with ForumPost, i.e.
public void RootPost(int PostID, ref Models.ForumPost Root)
{
ForumPost post = ForumPost(PostID);
if (post.RootPost != null)
{
Root = ForumPost(post.RootPost.ForumPostID);
}
else
Root = post;
}
it works too. But problem is in speed. I not need in RootPost all those includes. So, I should to create one more method like:
private ForumPost ForumPostIncludes1(int ForumPostID)
{
return
(from i in _dataContext.ForumPostSet
.Include("ChildPosts")
where i.ForumPostID == ForumPostID
select i).First();
}
then ForumPostIncludes2, ForumPostIncludes3 etc... second way - redesign RootPost with LINQ expr, not with call another method. But in this way difficulties to change DB. third way? How to do it correctly?
When I create a new website in IIS and its associated application pool, I get the option of setting the .NET framework to 1.0 or 2.0.Via windows updates I have installed versions 3.0 and 3.5..however these dont show up in the drop down list.I read that the aspnet_regiis -i command needs to be run in the installed .NET framework folder for it to be visible in IIS.However, the aspnet_regiis.exe is only present in the 1.0 and 2.0 folders. Can I use the same exe to register the 3.5 framework with IIS?
View 2 RepliesI'm using DotNetNuke 4.8.x and want to utilize jQuery. Could anyone possibly suggest me on what is the best way to integrate jQuery into DNN? I won't be able to upgrade DNN version to 5 which has built-in support for jQuery.
View 1 RepliesCan anyone shed some light on why DotNetNuke comes configured with request validation and event validation disabled? They're both off at the web.config level for a default install which seems to be a regressive approach. Are there any sound reasons for this and what is the functional impact on DotNetNuke if they're turned back on?
Obviously appropriate input validation should be happening in code anyway but the native .NET framework behaviour is always a nice fallback.
We are in the process of implementing a CMS for our project which currently extensively uses asp.net master pages and css. Also the application is data-driven and controls like gridview and listview are used. After a little search we zeroed on two CMS dotnetnuke and umbraco. Now my question is:
Which one of the two CMS is best suited and easy to use?
Do they support integration of existing code and UI's

I am getting started with DotNetNuke and when I try to use jQuery the same way I use it in any standard ASP.NET page it does not work. For example I am trying to use uploadify which uses jQuery and flash. I can't even get the cancel button to show in the control.
By now I understand there must be a workaround and it is different than simple asp.net
Here is the ascx code:
[code]....
I've Googled, Binged, and here at StackOverflow, looked through the related questions and searched, but I'm not finding what I'm looking for. I've also searched documentation on DNN.
What I'm looking for is any guidance (tutorials, blogs, step-by-step instructions for setting up a repository) etc from people who are experienced in using DotNetNuke with SVN.
We use SVN for all our source control, and have no problem with standard applications, because we pretty much built the repository and directory structure to work with our processes. This means when we do web sites, in Visual Studio, we do file based web sites, rather than setting them up in the local IIS. It just makes things easier for us.
However, with DNN, it appears that even if you get the source code, it is expecting to be set up in the local IIS, which means additional headaches for us.
For example, we are moving all of our source code off our local C drives, and onto a shared drive on a server. This is to enable backups in addition to our normal source control. (This was a management decision). So that means that we need to change the virtual web app when we make the move.
Has anyone come up with a good way to work around this? Can DNN be set up so that the developer web server in Visual Studio can be used, so that we can treat it just like any normal web app? Am I missing something obvious?
I'm creating a new DotNetNuke module and in the past I inherited from PortalModuleBase. I'm aware that there's a replacement for this now. Can someone tell me what it is? I've had a brief search for it but I haven't found what it is.

I've been tasked with looking into performance tuning my company's intranet server. It runs DotNetNuke which suffers from poor performance. It also runs a number of other web apps (mix of asp and asp.net).
Could anybody give me a brief list of common performance tweaks that can be made to IIS6?
In dotnetnuke, I have two sites located on different location. Now I want to point these two sites to the same database. Is it possible to point to same database.
I even tried pointing it from web.config, but thats not working. I don't want to work with child portals, because i have already created site on other location and all the source codes are under that, but when I create child Portal, it creates new portalnumber folder under portals, and it just has two folders in it, Users and Cache, I dont understand how to place codes, as DNN creates lots of folders while creating new site, which are missing here.
