DNN Friday is Back

Posted by Tom on Friday, May 09, 2008 to DotNetNuke, Seablick News, DNN Friday, DNN News

Due to popular demand, our weekly DNN news roundup is back after a 5 month hiatus. There was never a particular reason for DNN Friday's disappearance, it just fell by the wayside as there are only 24 hours in a day ... even on Fridays. Without further mumbling, here is the latest from the "dnnsphere."

• As mentioned last week, OpenForce Connect Orlando is near and we are happy to announce our support of the event as a Gold Sponsor. If you are running a DNN shop, please consider to do the same. Either way, I hope to see down in Orlando in a couple of weeks.


• Shaun Walker got stuck in Word this week and put out 3 excellent blog posts in short succession. He talks about the upcoming skinning enhancements in DNN 5; he expresses his discontent with Microsoft in regards to the lack of support for .NET open source projects, and he puts his sales suit on to shed some much needed light on the DNN support program offered by DotNetNuke Corporation. All good reads.


• 9d released an interesting add-on for Ultra Video Gallery. I’ll have to get Jeff to take a closer look at it.


• Scott Stokes of Adverageous released Daily Schedule 1.0, a “daily schedule module” for DNN 4.5 and up. You can demo it here. Wasn’t there a similar sounding DNN module development house back in the DNN 2/3 days known for calendar type modules? Is this the same guy / company or am I thinking about somebody else?


• Effority.Net, a group of DNN developers and enthusiasts based in Germany, moves its free User Directory Module to CodePlex. I’ve recently tried it out on a cycling club site that I run and it works great.


• Mitchel Sellers discusses modules, compatibility, and developer responsibility and shows that one line in the .dnn file is all it takes for a smoother relationship between module and DNN.


• iFinity Url Master has been out for a couple of weeks now, but I still have to mention it here as it has had a big impact on my daily DNN SEO work. Check back for a detailed review of the module by the end of next week.
