Bumping the Blog Module and Other DNN News

Posted by Tom on Friday, March 30, 2007 to DotNetNuke, DNN Friday, DNN News

Here is this week's news for anybody not totally caught up in the DNN 4.5 craze:

• Fuji Nguyen of InDyne upgraded his free Visitor Counter module for DNN 4.x.
  
  
• KodHeZ Software announces what they call a “new sales platform for KodHedZ modules” at kodhedzsoftware.com where “all of the modules are displayed on separate indexed pages, with the content served up via web services.” Just browsing the site was painfully slow for me though.
  
  
• DNN Montréal releases the source for their free QuickTask module. Also check out their small collection of other free modules.
  
  
• I forgot to mention it last week. The always outspoken John Mitchell asks “Which to use? Snowcovered or the DotNetNuke Marketplace?” It will be interesting to see how this shakes out.
  
  
• Ventrian Systems releases News Articles 00.05.59 with support for many more template tokens for Latest Articles. While I was looking forward to this release, I have yet to install it.
  
  
• Skin your print previews and preserve query string parameters on the printed page with Vincenc Masanas’s TemplatePrint skin object.
  
  
• Michael Washington fills us in on Creating A DotNetNuke Module using ASP.NET AJAX and Creating Secure DotNetNuke ASP.NET AJAX Web Services.
  
  
• Antonio Chagoury proclaims that the blog module project “is out of hibernation” and “alive and well.” He goes on to say that the module needs “a bump in order to get the innovative and creative juices flowing once again.” Better late than never, but I think the module needs way more than a “bump” to catch up with current blogging platforms.
  
  
• And speaking of hibernation, Nina Meiers returns to her blog shedding light on the increasingly protective nature of the DNN forums. I have yet to make up my mind about it.

As always, us the comments for additional newsworthy tidbits.
