We would like to say a special thank you to all of you who have supported us over the past 4 years, it means a lot to us. In this issue we demonstrate how to package skins for DotNetNuke 5. DotNetNuke 5 has introduced a new method of packaging skins using a .dnn manifest file. This allows you to install your entire skins, containers and skin objects using one skin zip installation package. It also allows you to display owner, release notes and a license which the user must agree to the terms before installing the skin. This makes the installation process much more streamlined and less prone to user error. In the tutorial we walk you through all of the steps required for creating skin packages along with tips, pitfalls to avoid and the various ways in which you can configure a DotNetNuke 5 skin package. Following this we have an advanced tutorial which explores methods to combat spam in your website. In particular we focus on Active Forums and show you how to create scheduled SQL queries to prevent spam displaying in your forum. Spam can be a time consuming nuisance to both the administrators and the visitors of your website, so this tutorial helps you to automate the prevention of spam. Next we are continuing with the Open Web Studio tutorials. Last month we completed the six part series on 'How to Build a Public Knowledge Base Module with OWS'. This month we are pleased to announce that Paul Deschenes has agreed to continue creating OWS tutorials, so this month we demonstrate how to create an email form using OWS. We demonstrate how to build the email form, how to create the logic for sending the form, as well as how to attach a file to an email and how to validate the email when it is sent to ensure deliverability. To finish this issue we have a podcast interview with Joe Brinkman, in this podcast we discuss OpenForce Europe and USA, the latest DotNetNuke Corporation news, as well as a tip on relative URLS with SSL. This issue comes complete with 13 videos and 1 podcast!

This method is the new method which includes a .dnn manifest file The new DotNetNuke 5 method provides additional options when installing. For instance, you can display release notes and a license which the user must agree to before they can install the skin. It also provides the possibility to automatically install any skin objects that your skin requires at the same time, for instance if you are using a menu. This makes the installation process for the end-user much more streamlined and much less prone to errors. However this method of packaging requires a little more work from the skin developer and that is what we cover in detail in this tutorial.

The NavMenu is the default menu that comes with DotNetNuke, we demonstrate how to configure and setup the NavMenu in your DotNetNuke skins and how to create a horizontal menu, vertical menu and both a horizontal and vertical menu on the same page. To begin the tutorial we demonstrate how to create a basic 1pane simple skin and add the NavMenu to your skin. The first menu we create is a horizontal menu, we show you how to add a background faded image to the menu, how to set the styling for hover over, the breadcrumb trail styling for the menu, (ie. the currently selected page) and how to work with the various attributes that are available for the NavMenu. Following this we create a vertical menu and then demonstrate how to display both a vertical and horizontal menu on the same page. To finish we show you the attributes that are available for configuring which menu items should display when two menus are presented on a page.

We have almost 2 hours of videos, an interview with Jeff Smith of Venexus talking about SEO, and more news from the DNN Creative news podcasts. The issue begins with four detailed tutorials on the FCK Editor. The focus on these tutorials is the advanced areas of the FCK Editor. These tutorials will help you to ensure your content administrators add content using good practices, it will help to speed up the time taken to add content as well as secure the FCK Editor functions so that certain users have access to certain features in the FCK Editor, ie. for a forum. The first FCK Editor tutorial covers formatting style definitions, which allow you to create your own custom pre-defined styles to quickly apply classes from your skin. Following this we demonstrate how to create custom FCK Editor HTML templates, these can speed up administration time, as well as help to minimise mistakes by content administrators and ensure content is added using good practices. FCK Editor custom toolbars and security roles are then explained, which will allow you to customize which toolbar buttons are available for use in the FCK Editor, as well as which security roles have access to the toolbar sets. The final tutorial for the FCK Editor covers further configuration options and demonstrates the key areas for adjusting the advanced settings within the FCK Editor. Keeping within the theme of ensuring content administrators use good practices when adding content to a DotNetNuke portal, we also introduce the concept of alert styles. Alert styles inform the administrator of any bad practices they have used by highlighting the bad practice text with a red box. This can really help to minimise bad practices and keep control of the content added to your DotNetNuke portals. To complete the issue we also have 3 podcasts, the first is an interview with Jeff Smith from Venexus where we discuss SEO with DotNetNuke, and the following 2 podcasts are DotNetNuke News and Tips. This issue comes complete with 14 video tutorials and 3 podcasts!

HTML templates are really useful for adding repetitive content into a page; they can give you a starting point when adding content to the page, you do not need to start from scratch, you can simply select a template as a starting point and then edit the content within the template. This will help to reduce errors created by content editors.

DotNetNuke has a built-in token which allows you to print the content of a module. This is very limited in its use as it only prints the content of one module at a time. So, we demonstrate how to create a print stylesheet, how to format the layout of the print stylesheet and how to remove unwanted content from the print version of your skin. This is an essential technique for improving the usability of your DotNetNuke websites. Also in this issue, we have produced the DNN Creative CSS Reference Book.

The SQL methods we show you this month are very powerful techniques which will reduce weeks of work into seconds. These tutorials are especially useful if you are re-skinning a large DotNetNuke installation. To begin with we demonstrate how to update the Page Settings of a page using SQL queries. We then demonstrate how to use SQL queries to delete a group of modules from a page, move modules between content panes and insert a copy of a module to a page. If you were to manually move, delete and insert modules when re-skinning your DotNetNuke installation it could take up to 10 minutes per page, for a 500 page website this would take 5000 minutes. Using SQL queries will allow you to apply changes across your entire site within seconds. Following this we take a look at the DotNetNuke SQL Module. This module comes free with DotNetNuke and is only available to the host user on your DotNetNuke installation. This module allows you to execute SQL queries without the need for SQL Server Express. Although we thoroughly recommend you use SQL Server Express to build and check your queries, this module is very useful if you already have a good understanding of SQL queries. And finally, we demonstrate how to work with Skins and Containers in DotNetNuke using SQL queries. In the previous tutorials we demonstrated how to change a container on a single page, in this tutorial we show you how to change the container for a copied module that is displayed on all or several pages, how to change the container of a module to a new container based on the name of the old container, and how to change the skin of a page to a new skin based on the name of the old skin.

We begin with the DotNetNuke Store core module. We demonstrate in detail the various configurations that are available with the store so that you can sell your own products using DotNetNuke. We cover elements such as configuration, tax, shipping, categories, products, accounts, managing, CSS, styling, templates, testing and PayPal. This leads onto the next tutorial which demonstrates how to setup and use the PayPal Developer Sandbox. This allows you to test dummy transactions from a seller to a merchant account without sending any actual money. This is an essential technique for testing your DotNetNuke stores. Alongside the tutorials we have reviewed four DotNetNuke store modules, the AliCommerce shopping cart, CATALook store, AspDotNetStoreFront and Active Purchase.   This issue comes complete with 9 videos.

This allows you to create test PayPal buyer and seller accounts which you can then use to test the selling of products within DotNetNuke. For instance, if you are using the DotNetNuke store core module, there is an option within the admin settings to use the PayPal sandbox, if you tick this option the store will ask for payment via the sandbox rather than the main PayPal website. This allows you to log in as a test user and send dummy test payments. This is an essential technique for your ecommerce toolbox.

This module is a very flexible module and we explore in detail the various configurations that this module can create. We cover creating tables, templates, filters, paging, sorting, calculated columns, and XSL transformation file editing and generation. We then demonstrate Token Replacement, which allows you to place tokens within the content of the Text / HTML, Newsletter and UDT modules. The tokens can display information such as the username, first name, portal title etc. Token Replacement provides a powerful way of personalizing the user experience. Following this, we have included a skinning tutorial which walks you through various techniques that you can use to style the search box in DotNetNuke. Alongside the tutorials we have reviewed the Mandeeps.com Live Content web 2.0 module. To finish, we have created a video interview with Dave Snow, covering his DotNetNuke website, CSS skinning, modules and tips.

This is a live walk through of Dave’s DotNetNuke website. Dave is a subscriber to DNN Creative Magazine. He has taken the CSS skinning tutorials and applied some of the principles to his own skins while also adapting the CSS to suit his own needs. Dave’s site is interesting in that it implements a pure CSS skin along with some interesting use of 3rd party modules, so I thought it would be good to do a video interview with Dave and ask him to walk us through his DotNetNuke website.

Following the release of the DNN Creative skin we received several enquiries regarding how we placed the main text content at the top of the source code and the less important content towards the end. Ordering the source code helps search engines to easily find and index the important content of your website and therefore will help to improve your search engine results.

In this issue we demonstrate how to work with and create your own page templates. We have discovered an easy technique for creating page templates so that you do not require any programming skills to create complex templates. Page templates are a powerful time saving tool. If you have certain modules that you regularly need to add to a page, you can do this automatically with a page template. If you have content in a Text / HTML module that you always use as a starting point, you can have default content added to a module through a page template.

This enables you to test elements such as new modules and new skins before installing them on your live website and allows you to keep a backup copy of your website on your own personal computer. This is an important technique to learn as it can prevent installation issues occurring with the live website. For instance, when upgrading DotNetNuke you can download the live site to a localhost computer and run the upgrade process on the localhost installation to check that no errors occur before applying it to the live website.

This covers how to transfer a localhost site which uses an SQL Server 2005 Express database to a hosting provider which uses an SQL Server 2005 database. This method is much more reliable than the portal template and site wizard method for transferring data from a localhost installation to a live website as it does not suffer the same problems as the portal template method. For example, this method transfers all data and modules, all registered users and security roles etc, the tab ids remain the same and it can easily transfer the data from a large site. The portal template method has problems with each of those elements.creativehostMon, 02 Jul 2007 08:49:00 GMTf1397696-738c-4295-afcd-943feb885714:258https://www.dnncreative.com/Home/Interviews/tabid/245/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/257/Default.aspx#Comments0http://www.dnncreative.com:443/DesktopModules/DnnForge%20-%20NewsArticles/RssComments.aspx?TabID=245&ModuleID=400&ArticleID=257http://www.dnncreative.com:443/DesktopModules/DnnForge%20-%20NewsArticles/Tracking/Trackback.aspx?ArticleID=257&PortalID=0&TabID=245https://www.dnncreative.com/Tutorials/DNNTutorialsforAdvancedUsers/FindandReplaceSQLqueriesforDotNetNuke/tabid/349/Default.aspx(To fix problems after transferring a localhost database to a live website and other useful functions) In this video tutorial we demonstrate using a Find and Replace SQL procedure to fix problems such as editing image urls after uploading a localhost installation to a live website. This means that you can automatically adjust any html code within the text / html module across all of the pages in your DotNetNuke installation in a matter of seconds, rather than manually editing each page. This method can also be used for editing words in the text / html module. For instance, suppose you wish to change your company name, you can apply these SQL techniques to search for the current company name and replace it with a new company name. Other techniques can include searching for inline CSS code in the text/html module, such as font tags, and deleting all of the code so that all styling comes from the skin.css files.creativehostMon, 02 Jul 2007 08:44:00 GMTf1397696-738c-4295-afcd-943feb885714:257https://www.dnncreative.com/Home/Interviews/tabid/245/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/256/Default.aspx#Comments0http://www.dnncreative.com:443/DesktopModules/DnnForge%20-%20NewsArticles/RssComments.aspx?TabID=245&ModuleID=400&ArticleID=256http://www.dnncreative.com:443/DesktopModules/DnnForge%20-%20NewsArticles/Tracking/Trackback.aspx?ArticleID=256&PortalID=0&TabID=245https://www.dnncreative.com/Home/Issues/Volume2/Issueno21/tabid/346/Default.aspxJune 2007 Welcome to issue 21 of DNN Creative Magazine.

The media module replaces the image module that was used in earlier versions of DotNetNuke and comes with extra functionality. It enables you to easily display media files such as images, videos and play music. According to the media modules spec, the module supports these formats: Audio Interchange File Format (AIFF) Audio Video Interleave (AVI) Moving Pictures Expert Group (MPEG) MP3 (Audio aspect of MPEG) Musical Instrument Digital Interface (MIDI) QuickTime (MOV) Real Video (RM, RAM) Shockwave Flash (SWF) Waveform (WAV) Windows Media Formats (ASF, ASX,WMA,WMV) and of course images In this tutorial we demonstrate working with images, MP3s, WMVs, and flash files.creativehostThu, 31 May 2007 14:15:00 GMTf1397696-738c-4295-afcd-943feb885714:255https://www.dnncreative.com/Home/Interviews/tabid/245/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/254/DotNetNuke-FAQ-Module--2-Videos.aspx#Comments0http://www.dnncreative.com:443/DesktopModules/DnnForge%20-%20NewsArticles/RssComments.aspx?TabID=245&ModuleID=400&ArticleID=254http://www.dnncreative.com:443/DesktopModules/DnnForge%20-%20NewsArticles/Tracking/Trackback.aspx?ArticleID=254&PortalID=0&TabID=245https://www.dnncreative.com/Tutorials/DNNTutorialsforCoreModules/DotNetNukeFAQModule/tabid/344/Default.aspxIn this video tutorial we demonstrate how to use the DotNetNuke FAQ module.

The problem with this is that you need to create a new image for every single title that you wish to create. This is a chore and defeats the object of using a dynamic content management system such as DotNetNuke.Welcome to sIFR (Scalable Inman Flash Replacement). sIFR has been around for a while now, but there are minimal DotNetNuke sites implementing this technique. Using sIFR can give your website the extra design edge and help you to move away from the generic DotNetNuke designs that you tend to see.creativehostMon, 03 Jul 2006 00:00:00 GMTf1397696-738c-4295-afcd-943feb885714:186https://www.dnncreative.com/Home/Interviews/tabid/245/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/187/Default.aspx#Comments0http://www.dnncreative.com:443/DesktopModules/DnnForge%20-%20NewsArticles/RssComments.aspx?TabID=245&ModuleID=400&ArticleID=187http://www.dnncreative.com:443/DesktopModules/DnnForge%20-%20NewsArticles/Tracking/Trackback.aspx?ArticleID=187&PortalID=0&TabID=245https://www.dnncreative.com/Home/Issues/Volume1/Issueno11/tabid/270/Default.aspx July 2006 Welcome to the eleventh issue of DNN Creative Magazine.

This issue continues the development of CSS, from skin design to adding content and builds on the previous tutorials in issue 8. Within the How to build a website series using DotNetNuke®, we continue adding content to the website. This looks at basic techniques through to advanced powerful styling options using the FCKEditor and CSS. Following the CSS skinning tutorials, this month we explore how to create pure CSS containers. Alongside this we have also released an updated version of the free ‘Simple Red Leaf’ CSS skin, which is completely valid to W3C standards. We also uncover the SolPartMenu and provide some quick tips for setting up the menu with your skins. Finally, for all of the beginners to DotNetNuke, we have updated, expanded and improved the content of the free DotNetNuke Quick Start Guide. This issue comes complete with 16 video tutorials. The CSS container and styling  techniques outlined here are compatible with both tables and CSS based skins. Check out the introduction videos below.

Knowing these flexibilities exist leads the designer into better and more adaptable website skins, as well as more robust and friendly navigation systems not ordinarily realized by most DNN users.This article provides a deeper insight, as well as a few suggestions into the standard, yet not so well known, attributes of the SolPartMenu Skin Object.creativehostTue, 02 May 2006 07:52:04 GMTf1397696-738c-4295-afcd-943feb885714:169https://www.dnncreative.com/Home/Interviews/tabid/245/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/170/Default.aspx#Comments0http://www.dnncreative.com:443/DesktopModules/DnnForge%20-%20NewsArticles/RssComments.aspx?TabID=245&ModuleID=400&ArticleID=170http://www.dnncreative.com:443/DesktopModules/DnnForge%20-%20NewsArticles/Tracking/Trackback.aspx?ArticleID=170&PortalID=0&TabID=245https://www.dnncreative.com/Tutorials/DNNTutorialsforCoreModules/StylingusingtheTextHTMLmoduleandFCKEditor/tabid/258/Default.aspxContinuing our series on How to build a DotNetNuke website, we expand on the previous tutorial (Styling and formatting in the Text/HTML module) and add content to the Home and Portfolio pages of the Vortex Music website.

This issue is a special issue because we have now broken the 100 video tutorial mark. In this issue we have created 16 video tutorials which brings the total to 112 DotNetNuke video tutorials! This issue focuses on CSS from skin design to adding content. It builds on the previous tutorials from issues 5-7. Following the release of the free pure CSS ‘Simple Red Leaf’ skin we responded to the demand for a CSS skinning tutorial. We have created nine videos which walk you through the process of creating the ‘Simple Red Leaf’ skin. The tutorial demonstrates all of the details from layout to menu design, all created with CSS and no tables. Continuing the How to build a website series using DotNetNuke we explore adding content to your website. This includes an eight video tutorial which covers styling your content in the Text/HTML module using CSS and calling those styles from the FCKEditor. This is a very powerful way of adding and laying out content, minimising code and making advanced techniques easily available to your website administrators without any specialist knowledge required. In addition to the videos we also explain bad practices to avoid when working with the Text/HTML module. Rounding off this issue we are privileged to interview Tim O’Brien covering CSS skinning and validation.

This editor can be used to replace the FreeTextBox editor that comes as standard with DotNetNuke.The FCKEditor is a WYSIWYG text editor that allows you to add text and image content to your modules. The main module that you will use with the FCKEditor is the Text/HTML module.I personally always replace the FreeTextBox editor with the FCKEditor as I find the FCKEditor to be more stable and reliable than the FreeTextBox editor. - Highly Recommended.creativehostSat, 01 Apr 2006 00:00:00 GMTf1397696-738c-4295-afcd-943feb885714:161https://www.dnncreative.com/Home/Interviews/tabid/245/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/158/Default.aspx#Comments2http://www.dnncreative.com:443/DesktopModules/DnnForge%20-%20NewsArticles/RssComments.aspx?TabID=245&ModuleID=400&ArticleID=158http://www.dnncreative.com:443/DesktopModules/DnnForge%20-%20NewsArticles/Tracking/Trackback.aspx?ArticleID=158&PortalID=0&TabID=245https://www.dnncreative.com/Home/Interviews/tabid/245/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/158/Default.aspxCreated by Doug Vogel Tired of always running those SQL scripts to register your new DotNetNuke Modules?  Here's how to automatically do those tasks, and a lot more.

In this issue we have released a free pure CSS skin ‘Simple Red Leaf’ which has many advantages over the traditional table based skin, such as: accessibility, flexibility, print view, search engine friendly, small file size, etc. Alongside the CSS skin are supporting documents to help you get started with creating your own CSS skins, covering techniques for improving skin and module coding standards, minimising CSS code, enabling browsers to operate in standards compliance mode and techniques for testing skins. Following some of the techniques developed in this CSS skin we have documented how to add some of the features to your own skins. This includes how to enable skins to use resizable text within Internet Explorer and how to replace the Solpart menu with the HouseMenu. These elements are demonstrated in our series of how to build a website using DotNetNuke.

In this issue we have released a free pure CSS skin ‘Simple Red Leaf’ which has many advantages over the traditional table based skin, such as: accessibility, flexibility, print view, search engine friendly, small file size, etc. Alongside the CSS skin are supporting documents to help you get started with creating your own CSS skins, covering techniques for improving skin and module coding standards, minimising CSS code, enabling browsers to operate in standards compliance mode and techniques for testing skins. Following some of the techniques developed in this CSS skin we have documented how to add some of the features to your own skins. This includes how to enable skins to use resizable text within Internet Explorer and how to replace the Solpart menu with the HouseMenu. These elements are demonstrated in our series of how to build a website using DotNetNuke. Laurence Neville has also taken the time to share his experiences of creating a DotNetNuke website in Hebrew, which raises some interesting issues, such as setting the text to display from right to left.

A Nukelet (DotNetNuke scriptlet) is a way of creating custom DotNetNuke modules using only run-time scripting languages like PHP. Instead of using Visual Studio to create custom modules in ASP.NET, you can slash module development time by writing scripted modules directly in your DotNetNuke web site framework.
