Development Posts from Chris Hammond

Depending on what the "source" is, it appears that DNN 9.0.1 was released either 11 days ago, or 3 days ago.

This morning we received an email from leo-wood - domaincop.net with the following information in it

One of the best things I love about the DNN platform is the ease of building, releasing, and updating Extensions for your website. If you need custom functionality you can either build something yourself, or likely find something that someone else has developed previously that might fit your needs.

This blog post is a simple collection of free resources for the HammerFlex skin for DotNetNuke. HammerFlex is a responsive, open source skin that utilizes Bootstrap V3 to provide a flexible mobile friendly layout/design for your DotNetNuke (DNN) websites.

Earlier this year I started on a project to learn how to use SignalR, I had reasons to do so for my full time job (non-DNN related) but considering my DNN experience over the past 11 years I figured that learning how to use SignalR with DNN would be my fastest way to get myself up to speed. So I started working on a Chat module. Originally that module was called SignalRChat, and was available on codeplex, but ultimately I decided that name kind of sucked, so it needed to be something else.

 So if you've been under a rock lately, you might have missed this little phenom known as KickStarter. Well today you're going to want to check it out. Secret Labs, the folks who brought you Netduino (hey, I'm wearing a Netduino t-shirt today, what a coincidence) have teamed up with a watch maker in New York City (SL is based there as well) to bring you Agent! http://www.agentwatches.com/

With the 2.0 release of my module development project templates last week I’ve had a few inquiries into how to customize the templates. You can download the templates from http://christoctemplate.codeplex.com/

With the release of DotNetNuke 7.0 (and now the more recent 7.0.2), it was time to update my module development project templates. If you have worked with my module development templates before, here are the major changes for this release. If you haven’t worked with them before please read this whole blog post as I discuss how to get up and running with the templates.

In case you haven’t heard, today is our birthday! Back on 12/24/2002, Shaun Walker released an open source project he called (at the time) IBuySpy Workshop in the forums here on www.asp.net. IBSW was a project which containers many enhancements to the IBuySpy Portal that Microsoft had released as a reference app in the early days of the .NET Framework.

Is anyone at Microsoft listening to the SPAM problem here on Weblogs.asp.net? My “Can anyone do anything about the spam here on weblogs.asp.net?” post from October got over 12 spam comments posted to it in the past 24 hours. I have comments all moderated, but that just means I have a crapload of work to do each time people comment.

Be sure to read Will Morgenweck’s blog post for all the details.

With the pending release of DotNetNuke 7, scheduled for this week, I updated my free DotNetNuke (DNN) skin, MultiFunction v1.3. This latest release requires DotNetNuke 7, it shouldn’t install on an earlier version of DNN.

Well here we are, nearing the end of the month of October and coming up on the month of NMovember once again. We here at DNNCorp are in our third year of supporting the Movember cause, growing facial hair on our upper lips to raise awareness and money for men’s health issues. Anyone can participate in Movember, and if you sign up, join a team, you can order some free materials from the Movember organization that you can use to help try and raise funds.

If there anyone out there who can do something about the spam here on weblogs.asp.net? Perhaps we could get some new software here that we could use to blog with? The old software barely works in Chrome (I can't see the rich text editor at this point), and lately the notification emails for Comments (which are mostly spam anyways) are pointing to http://weblogs.aspnet05.orcsweb.com which tries to get you to login with https://weblogs.aspnet05.orcsweb.com/ Anyone still maintaining this place?
