The main benefit is that it is much quicker to create a skin in DotNetNuke using the ASCX method.<br /> <br /> Further benefits include you can make changes live on the website without re-parsing or re-installing the skin, you can instantly see edits and changes you make to your skin code, you can view at a glance all of a skin tokens properties, and a really useful feature is that if you are using Visual Web Developer Express it will suggest the attributes that are available for each of the DotNetNuke tokens.<br /> <br /> We demonstrate all of these techniques and show you how to get started with ASCX skinning in DotNetNuke.<br /> <br /> Accompanying the skinning, we have part four in our series on the Open Web Studio Tutorials. In this episode we demonstrate how to add personalisation to the knowledgebase module using InterModule Communications and creating a &lsquo;my saved articles&rsquo; module. We also demonstrate how to create a Tooltip using JQuery, how to change the &ldquo;fetching data&rdquo; message, how to enable Rich Text / HTML articles and how to create a multi-category selection for each knowledgebase article.<br /> <br /> Finally, we have a podcast covering the latest DotNetNuke News as well as more tips and tricks.<br /> <br /> </p> <p> <br /> <br /> <strong>This issue comes complete with 11 Video Tutorials and 1 Podcast!</strong><span> <br /> <br /> <strong>Tutorials:</strong></span></p> <table cellspacing="5" cellpadding="10"> <tbody> <tr> <td style="width: 271px;"> Skinning:<br /> <br /> &nbsp;<a href="http://www.dnncreative.com/Tutorials/SkinningTutorials/DotNetNukeASCXSkinning/tabid/504/Default.aspx"><img height="319" width="250" alt="ASCX Skinning for DotNetNuke Professionals" src="http://www.dnncreative.com/Portals/0/pics/issues/46/ASCX_Skinning_250.jpg" /></a> </td> <td> <a href="http://www.dnncreative.com/Tutorials/SkinningTutorials/DotNetNukeASCXSkinning/tabid/504/Default.aspx"> DotNetNuke ASCX Skinning for Professional Skinners</a><br /> (6 videos - 58mins) </td> </tr> <tr> <td style="width: 271px;"> Module Development Series:<br /> <a href="http://www.dnncreative.com/Tutorials/DNNTutorialsforThirdPartyModules/OWSPart4/tabid/505/Default.aspx"> <img height="291" width="250" alt="R2i OWS Tutorial Part 4" src="http://www.dnncreative.com/Portals/0/pics/issues/46/R2i_part4_250.jpg" /></a> </td> <td> <a href="http://www.dnncreative.com/Tutorials/DNNTutorialsforThirdPartyModules/OWSPart4/tabid/505/Default.aspx"> Personalization, Text Editor, Logging and Reporting in Open Web Studio &ndash; Part 4 of 6 &ndash; How to Build a Public Knowledge Base with OWS</a><br /> (5 videos - 58mins) </td> </tr> <tr> <td style="width: 271px;"> Podcasts:<br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.dnncreative.com/Reviews/Podcasts/DotNetNukeNewsPodcastJune18th09/tabid/506/Default.aspx"> <img height="250" width="250" alt="DNNCreative Podcast with Lee and Rich" src="http://www.dnncreative.com/Portals/0/pics/issues/36/DNN_podcast_lee_rich_250.jpg" /></a> </td> <td> <a href="http://www.dnncreative.com/Reviews/Podcasts/DotNetNukeNewsPodcastJune18th09/tabid/506/Default.aspx"> DotNetNuke News, DataSprings Dynamic Forms, DNN 5.1 Professional, Openforce 09, Snapsis PageBlaster</a><br /> (25mins) </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <p> <a href="http://www.dnncreative.com/Home/Issues/Volume4/Issueno46/tabid/507/Default.aspx"> View issue 46 to download all of the videos in one zip file</a><br /> </p> <br /> <hr width="100%" size="2" /> <br /> <a href="http://www.dnncreative.com">DNN Creative Magazine for DotNetNuke Web Designers</a><br /> Covering DotNetNuke module video reviews, video tutorials, mp3 interviews, resources and web design tips for working with DotNetNuke.<br /> <br /> <strong>In 46 issues we have created 441 videos!</strong>Richard WoottonMon, 29 Jun 2009 17:26:00 GMTf1397696-738c-4295-afcd-943feb885714:442https://www.dnncreative.com/Articles/tabid/99/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/441/Default.aspx#Comments0http://www.dnncreative.com:443/DesktopModules/DnnForge%20-%20NewsArticles/RssComments.aspx?TabID=99&ModuleID=400&ArticleID=441http://www.dnncreative.com:443/DesktopModules/DnnForge%20-%20NewsArticles/Tracking/Trackback.aspx?ArticleID=441&PortalID=0&TabID=99DotNetNuke ASCX Skinning for Professional Skinners - 6 Videoshttps://www.dnncreative.com/Tutorials/SkinningTutorials/DotNetNukeASCXSkinning/tabid/504/Default.aspxThis tutorial demonstrate the ASCX method of DotNetNuke skinning.

The Slideshow module is useful for displaying your featured articles and products as an image, text content or you can even display an existing module within a slideshow. This module displays content in a similar manner to the msn.com home page. <br /> <br /> Following this we also cover Markit Modules free PageEar module. The PageEar module allows you to place Page Peel advertisements on your DotNetNuke websites. <br /> <br /> Next, we demonstrate how to use DNN Stuff&rsquo;s Module Rotator. This module allows you to rotate the content of multiple modules in the space of a single module. You can configure the module rotator to rotate modules each time the page loads, or you can also configure a timer to rotate through the modules in milliseconds. <br /> <br /> Following this we explore the free Monitter for DNN module by Joe Brinkman. This is a simple module which allows you to easily display a real-time feed of twitter search results on your website.<br /> <br /> This issue also releases the much anticipated third part of our series on How to Build a Public Knowledge Base Module using R2i&rsquo;s Open Web Studio by Paul Deschenes. In this instalment we explore how to build the user search page for searching knowledge base articles. We demonstrate how to implement record paging, column sorting, how to create a categories module, how to create a print function for the articles, as well as how to add an articles rating feature.<br /> <br /> Finally, we have a podcast covering the latest DotNetNuke News as well as more tips and tricks.<br /> <br /> </p> <p> <br /> <br /> <strong>This issue comes complete with 14 Video Tutorials and 1 Podcast!</strong><span> <br /> <br /> <strong>Tutorials:</strong></span></p> <table cellspacing="5" cellpadding="10"> <tbody> <tr> <td style="width: 271px;"> Premium Modules:<br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.dnncreative.com/Tutorials/DNNTutorialsforThirdPartyModules/MarkitSlideshowModule/tabid/497/Default.aspx"> <img height="305" width="250" src="http://www.dnncreative.com/Portals/0/pics/issues/45/Slideshow_250.jpg" alt="Markit Slideshow Module" /></a> </td> <td> <a href="http://www.dnncreative.com/Tutorials/DNNTutorialsforThirdPartyModules/MarkitSlideshowModule/tabid/497/Default.aspx"> Markit Slideshow Module</a><br /> (5 videos - 38mins) </td> </tr> <tr> <td style="width: 271px;"> &nbsp;

The URL Master module is one of the essential modules for your DotNetNuke websites as it creates Search Engine Optimised URLs and eliminates duplicate content from the Search Engines.<br /> <br /> The URL Master module allows you to create Human and Search Engine friendly URLs. It lets you replace spaces in URLs with characters you specify, such as hyphens. It allows you to use your own keywords and phrases within the URLs for your DotNetNuke pages, as well as incorporating various options for custom redirects. This module is very useful for eliminating duplicate content and replacing old websites with new DotNetNuke sites.<br /> <br /> Next we demonstrate OnyakTech&rsquo;s Host Commander module. This module provides many useful functions for the Host Super User. With the Host Commander module you can set up scheduled jobs such as SQL queries, view portal statistics for all portals from one area, view the data from the tables in your database, and execute stored procedures.<br /> <br /> Following this we have the second part of our new series on 'How to Build a Public Knowledge Base Module' using R2i&rsquo;s Open Web Studio by Paul Deschenes. In this instalment we explore the actual coding process. We show you how to manually build a module so you can get a full understanding of building a query, using AJAX calls and OWS actions so that you can go on to build your own OWS modules of any type and requirement. <br /> <br /> Included with the OWS tutorial this month is a &lsquo;mini&rsquo; tutorial on how to import the configuration source code (which we provide with each tutorial) into Open Web Studio.<br /> <br /> Finally, we have a podcast covering the latest DotNetNuke News as well as more tips and tricks.<br /> <br /> </p> <p> <br /> <br /> <strong>This issue comes complete with 16 Video Tutorials and 1 Podcast!</strong><span> <br /> <br /> <strong>Tutorials:</strong></span></p> <table cellspacing="5" cellpadding="10"> <tbody> <tr> <td style="width: 271px;"> Premium Modules:<br /> <br /> &nbsp; <a href="http://www.dnncreative.com/Tutorials/DNNTutorialsforThirdPartyModules/iFinityURLMasterModule/tabid/492/Default.aspx"> <img height="215" width="250" src="http://www.dnncreative.com/Portals/0/pics/issues/44/iFinity_250.jpg" alt="iFinity URL Master" /></a> </td> <td> <a href="http://www.dnncreative.com/Tutorials/DNNTutorialsforThirdPartyModules/iFinityURLMasterModule/tabid/492/Default.aspx"> iFinity URL Master Module</a><br /> (6 videos - 49mins) </td> </tr> <tr> <td style="width: 271px;"> &nbsp;<a href="http://www.dnncreative.com/Tutorials/DNNTutorialsforThirdPartyModules/OnyakTechHostCommanderModule/tabid/491/Default.aspx"><img height="300" width="250" src="http://www.dnncreative.com/Portals/0/pics/issues/44/OnyakTech_Host_250.jpg" alt="OnyakTech Host Commander" /></a> </td> <td> <a href="http://www.dnncreative.com/Tutorials/DNNTutorialsforThirdPartyModules/OnyakTechHostCommanderModule/tabid/491/Default.aspx"> OnyakTech Host Commander Module</a><br /> (4 videos - 35mins) </td> </tr> <tr> <td style="width: 271px;"> Module Development Series:<br /> <br /> &nbsp;<a href="http://www.dnncreative.com/Tutorials/DNNTutorialsforThirdPartyModules/HowtoImportSourceCodeintoOWS/tabid/493/Default.aspx"><img height="260" width="250" src="http://www.dnncreative.com/Portals/0/pics/issues/44/OWS_HowTo_250.jpg" alt="R2i Open Web Studio - How to Import Source Code" /></a> </td> <td> <a href="http://www.dnncreative.com/Tutorials/DNNTutorialsforThirdPartyModules/HowtoImportSourceCodeintoOWS/tabid/493/Default.aspx"> How to Import the Configuration Source Code into Open Web Studio</a><br /> (1 video - 2 mins) </td> </tr> <tr> <td style="width: 271px;"> <a href="http://www.dnncreative.com/Tutorials/DNNTutorialsforThirdPartyModules/OWSPart2/tabid/494/Default.aspx"> <img height="220" width="250" src="http://www.dnncreative.com/Portals/0/pics/issues/44/OWS_Part2_250.jpg" alt="R2i Open Web Studio - Building a Module Interface" /></a> </td> <td> <a href="http://www.dnncreative.com/Tutorials/DNNTutorialsforThirdPartyModules/OWSPart2/tabid/494/Default.aspx"> How to Build Module Interfaces in Open Web Studio &ndash; Part 2 of 6 &ndash; How to Build a Public Knowledge Base with OWS</a><br /> (5 videos - 41mins) </td> </tr> <tr> <td style="width: 271px;"> Podcasts:<br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.dnncreative.com/Reviews/Podcasts/DNNNewsPodcastApril8th09/tabid/495/Default.aspx"> <img height="250" width="250" src="http://www.dnncreative.com/Portals/0/pics/issues/36/DNN_podcast_lee_rich_250.jpg" alt="DNNCreative Podcast with Lee and Rich" /></a> </td> <td> <a href="http://www.dnncreative.com/Reviews/Podcasts/DNNNewsPodcastApril8th09/tabid/495/Default.aspx"> DotNetNuke News, SQL Tips for Cleaning DNN Database, DNN 4.9.3, Derek Trauger, Nevoweb</a><br /> (30mins) </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <p> <a href="http://www.dnncreative.com/Home/Issues/Volume4/Issueno44/tabid/496/Default.aspx"> View issue 44 to download all of the videos in one zip file</a><br /> </p> <br /> <hr width="100%" size="2" /> <br /> <a href="http://www.dnncreative.com">DNN Creative Magazine for DotNetNuke Web Designers</a><br /> Covering DotNetNuke module video reviews, video tutorials, mp3 interviews, resources and web design tips for working with DotNetNuke.<br /> <br /> <strong>In 44 issues we have created 416 videos!</strong>Richard WoottonThu, 30 Apr 2009 13:05:00 GMTf1397696-738c-4295-afcd-943feb885714:431https://www.dnncreative.com/Articles/tabid/99/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/430/Default.aspx#Comments0http://www.dnncreative.com:443/DesktopModules/DnnForge%20-%20NewsArticles/RssComments.aspx?TabID=99&ModuleID=400&ArticleID=430http://www.dnncreative.com:443/DesktopModules/DnnForge%20-%20NewsArticles/Tracking/Trackback.aspx?ArticleID=430&PortalID=0&TabID=99iFinity URL Master Module for DotNetNuke - 6 Videoshttps://www.dnncreative.com/Tutorials/DNNTutorialsforThirdPartyModules/iFinityURLMasterModule/tabid/492/Default.aspxThis tutorial demonstrates how to use iFinity&rsquo;s URL Master module.

Also, in this issue we are introducing a new video tutor, Paul Deschenes who will be providing a six part series on how to build a Knowledge Base Module using Open Web Studio.<br /> <br /> To open the issue we begin with a tutorial on the OnyakTech SigmaLive Module. The SigmaLive module provides Live Chat functionality for your DotNetNuke website. It allows you to engage in a 1-to-1 chat with your website visitors in real-time. It allows you to instantly provide live help, live support, visitor tracking, and proactive sales for your products and services. It is also possible to configure this module as a chat room.<br /> <br /> Next we demonstrate how to use DNN Stuff&rsquo;s Aggregator Module. This module is a really flexible module as it acts as a tabbed container or can also be used as a localization container for one or more modules.

We demonstrate how to use the Auto Merge Method for upgrading versions 4.6.2+ and the Manual Method for all versions of DotNetNuke. We also continue with the DataSprings Dynamic Forms module tutorials, this time we cover Completion Events and using Third Party Email Services.<br /> <br /> First of all we cover DataSprings Dynamic Forms Completion Events. We take you through how to create a Dynamic Form Completion Event and show you how Completion Events can be used to redirect a user to a URL or page, send an email, add a user to a DNN security role and execute SQL and HTTP Post; which enables you to post data from your form to another URL.<br /> <br /> Following this we demonstrate how Completion Events can be used to send user details to a third party email newsletter service such as AWeber.<br /> <br /> Next we show you how to upgrade DotNetNuke using the Auto Merge Method which is available from version 4.6.2 onwards. This method of upgrading is much easier and quicker than it was in previous versions of DotNetNuke. This tutorial demonstrates the steps required to upgrade live DotNetNuke websites from v4.6.2 to v4.9.1 and then onto v5+.<br /> <br /> We also demonstrate how to upgrade DotNetNuke using the Manual Method. This method of upgrading will work for any version of DotNetNuke and this is the method you have to use for upgrading any version below 4.6.2.<br /> <br /> To complete this issue we have our latest podcast from our DotNetNuke News series.<br /> </p> <p> <br /> <br /> <strong>This issue comes complete with 10 Video Tutorials and 1 Podcast!</strong><span> <br /> <br /> <strong>Tutorials:</strong></span></p> <table cellspacing="5" cellpadding="10"> <tbody> <tr> <td style="width: 271px;"> Premium Modules:<br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.dnncreative.com/Tutorials/DNNTutorialsforThirdPartyModules/DataSpringsDynamicFormsCompletionEvents/tabid/476/Default.aspx"><img height="338" width="250" src="http://www.dnncreative.com/Portals/0/pics/issues/41/DynamicForms_CompletionEvents_250.gif" alt="Data Springs Dynamic Forms Completion Events" /></a></td> <td> <a href="http://www.dnncreative.com/Tutorials/DNNTutorialsforThirdPartyModules/DataSpringsDynamicFormsCompletionEvents/tabid/476/Default.aspx"> DataSprings Dynamic Forms Completion Events</a><br /> (2 videos -

Question Events make your forms very flexible and user friendly as they only display form fields that are relevant to the user filling out their details.<br /> <br /> Next we show you how you can view the data that the Dynamic Forms module captures, how to setup a message to display when a user clicks on the submit button and how to import and export forms that you have created into other Dynamic Forms Modules.<br /> <br /> Still on the subject of forms, we also have an article covering the 20 Best Practice Tips for creating forms.<br /> <br /> Following this we have an article on how to use Favicons within DotNetNuke. Favicons are a great way to make your site stand out from a long list of bookmarked pages and give your site a more personal touch. We show you how to create a favicon from scratch, how to create a favicon from an existing image and how to attach the favicon.ico file to your DotNetNuke website.<br /> <br /> To finish the issue off we have a podcast from our regular DotNetNuke News series.</p> <p> <br /> <br /> <strong>This issue comes complete with 10 Video Tutorials, 2 Articles and 1 Podcast!</strong><span> <br /> <br /> <strong>Tutorials:</strong></span></p> <table cellspacing="5" cellpadding="10"> <tbody> <tr> <td style="width: 271px;"> Administrators:<br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.dnncreative.com/Tutorials/DNNTutorialsforThirdPartyModules/DataSpringsDynamicFormsQuickStartGuide/tabid/467/Default.aspx"> <img height="271" width="250" src="http://www.dnncreative.com/Portals/0/pics/issues/40/DynamicForms_Quickstart_250.jpg" alt="Data Springs Dynamic Forms Quick Start Guide" /></a> </td> <td> <a href="http://www.dnncreative.com/Tutorials/DNNTutorialsforThirdPartyModules/DataSpringsDynamicFormsQuickStartGuide/tabid/467/Default.aspx"> DataSprings Dynamic Forms Quick Start Guide</a> <br /> (6 videos -

We demonstrate how to make these new login features user friendly and how to help the user sign up to Windows LiveID and Open ID easily.<br /> <br /> Next we show you how to quickly add large quantities of data to a module. Adding vast amounts of data to a module manually using DotNetNuke can be time consuming. In this tutorial we demonstrate how to add large quantities of data to the core Documents module quickly. We walk you through how to use Microsoft Excel and SQL Server Express to quickly populate tables within DotNetNuke.<br /> <br /> Following this, we have produced the DNN Creative Color Reference Guide PDF to help you choose a palette for your web pages.<br /> <br /> To finish the issue off we have three Podcasts, the first is a video interview with Paul Deschenes of Advologix about SaaS (Software as a Service) applications within DotNetNuke. Paul talks us through how he developed the AdvologixPM application and tells us of the benefits of SaaS over conventional store purchased applications, and the final two podcasts cover our regular DotNetNuke News series. </p> <p> <br /> <br /> <strong>This issue comes complete with 9 Video Tutorials, 1 Video Interview and 2 Podcasts!</strong><span> <br /> <br /> <strong>Tutorials:</strong></span></p> <table cellspacing="5" cellpadding="10"> <tbody> <tr> <td style="width: 271px;"> Administrators:<br /> <a href="http://www.dnncreative.com/Tutorials/DNNTutorialsforAdministrators/AuthenticationSettings/tabid/461/Default.aspx"> <img height="243" width="250" src="http://www.dnncreative.com/Portals/0/pics/issues/39/Authentication_settings_250.gif" alt="Authentication Settings" /></a> </td> <td> <a href="http://www.dnncreative.com/Tutorials/DNNTutorialsforAdministrators/AuthenticationSettings/tabid/461/Default.aspx"> DotNetNuke Authentication Settings (Configuring the Login Page)</a><br /> (5 videos - 40mins) </td> </tr> <tr> <td style="width: 271px;"> <a href="http://www.dnncreative.com/Tutorials/DNNTutorialsforAdvancedUsers/QuicklyaddlargedatatoModules/tabid/462/Default.aspx"> <img height="248" width="250" src="http://www.dnncreative.com/Portals/0/pics/issues/39/Quickly_add_data_250.jpg" alt="Quickly Add Large Data into Modules" /></a> </td> <td> <a href="http://www.dnncreative.com/Tutorials/DNNTutorialsforAdvancedUsers/QuicklyaddlargedatatoModules/tabid/462/Default.aspx"> How to Quickly Add Large Quantities of Data into DotNetNuke Modules</a><br /> (4 videos - 40mins) </td> </tr> <tr> <td style="width: 271px;"> PDF Book:<br /> <a href="http://www.dnncreative.com/Tutorials/SkinningTutorials/ColorReferenceGuide/tabid/463/Default.aspx"> <img height="250" width="250" src="http://www.dnncreative.com/Portals/0/pics/issues/39/colorreferenceguide2_250.gif" alt="DNN Creative Color Reference Guide" /></a> </td> <td> <a href="http://www.dnncreative.com/Tutorials/SkinningTutorials/ColorReferenceGuide/tabid/463/Default.aspx"> Color Reference Guide</a><br /> (34 pages PDF) </td> </tr> <tr> <td style="width: 271px;"> Video Interview:<br /> <a href="http://www.dnncreative.com/Reviews/Podcasts/PaulDeschenesVideoInterview/tabid/457/Default.aspx"> <img height="154" width="250" src="http://www.dnncreative.com/Portals/0/pics/issues/39/Advologix_interview_250.jpg" alt="Paul Deschenes Interview" /></a><br /> </td> <td> <div class="imageleftside"> <a href="http://www.dnncreative.com/Reviews/Podcasts/PaulDeschenesVideoInterview/tabid/457/Default.aspx"> Interview with Paul Deschenes, SAAS applications using DotNetNuke</a><br /> (32mins)<br /> </div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td style="width: 271px;"> Podcasts:<br /> <img height="250" width="250" src="http://www.dnncreative.com/Portals/0/pics/issues/36/DNN_podcast_lee_rich_250.jpg" alt="DNNCreative Podcast with Lee and Rich" /><br /> </td> <td> <div class="imageleftside"> <a href="http://www.dnncreative.com/Reviews/Podcasts/DNNNewsPodcast7thNov08/tabid/464/Default.aspx"> DotNetNuke News, Active Forums, DataSprings, R2i, OpenForce, DNN Book</a><br /> (30mins)</div> <br /> <a href="http://www.dnncreative.com/Reviews/Podcasts/DNNNewsPodcast25thNov08/tabid/465/Default.aspx"> DotNetNuke News, Professional, OpenForce Vegas, Quick Tips</a><br /> (24mins) </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <p> <a href="http://www.dnncreative.com/Home/Issues/Volume4/Issueno39/tabid/456/Default.aspx"> View issue 39 to download all of the videos in one zip file</a><br /> </p> <br /> <hr width="100%" size="2" /> <br /> <a href="http://www.dnncreative.com">DNN Creative Magazine for DotNetNuke Web Designers</a><br /> Covering DotNetNuke module video reviews, video tutorials, mp3 interviews, resources and web design tips for working with DotNetNuke.<br /> <br /> <strong>In 39 issues we have created 356 videos!</strong>Richard WoottonMon, 01 Dec 2008 07:17:00 GMTf1397696-738c-4295-afcd-943feb885714:402https://www.dnncreative.com/Articles/tabid/99/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/399/Default.aspx#Comments0http://www.dnncreative.com:443/DesktopModules/DnnForge%20-%20NewsArticles/RssComments.aspx?TabID=99&ModuleID=400&ArticleID=399http://www.dnncreative.com:443/DesktopModules/DnnForge%20-%20NewsArticles/Tracking/Trackback.aspx?ArticleID=399&PortalID=0&TabID=99Interview with Paul Deschenes, SaaS applications using DotNetNukehttps://www.dnncreative.com/Reviews/Podcasts/PaulDeschenesVideoInterview/tabid/457/Default.aspxIn this 32min video interview with Paul Deschenes from Advologix.com we discuss Software as a Service (SaaS) and an application he has developed using ListX.<br /> <br /> We discuss the process of developing a SaaS application and the benefits of Software as a Service over store purchased products.

We look at the Core Search in DotNetNuke as well as review two Search Engine modules available for DotNetNuke. <br /> <br /> We begin by demonstrating how to setup and configure the DotNetNuke Core Search. The tutorial demonstrates how to ensure your content is indexed, how to increase the search effectiveness of your site, and how to configure the Search Results. We show you how to set up a Google AdSense Affiliate ID and insert it into Google search results and finally demonstrate how to configure the Search Skin Object to suit the needs of your site.<br /> <br /> Next we concentrate on Podcasting within DotNetNuke. As an example we demonstrate how we setup the podcasts on dotnetnukepodcast.com. We recently made some improvements to the website by using Ventrian News Articles module. We demonstrate how we convert this module into a Podcast module, how to setup an iTunes podcast compatible RSS feed and how to promote it to the iTunes store.<br /> <br /> Following on from the tutorials we have two search engine reviews: Xepient Solutions Open-Search Engine v2.0 and Venexus Search Engine and Software Collection. Both of these modules have gone through some thorough testing this month and we share the results with you in the Search Engine Module Reviews section.<br /> <br /> This issue also brings the return of our &lsquo;How Did They Build it..?&rsquo; series of interviews, this time we speak to Ilian Alexiev from LogicSpectrum.com covering two of his websites and the processes he took in creating them.<br /> <br /> To finish the issue off we have three Podcasts. The first is an interview with Tom Kraak from Seablick Consulting where we discuss SEO within DotNetNuke, the second is a review of OpenForce Europe 08 and the third is our regular DotNetNuke News series.</p> <p> <br /> <br /> <strong>This issue comes complete with 7 Video Tutorials, 2 Module Reviews and 3 Podcasts!</strong><span> <br /> <br /> <strong>Tutorials:</strong></span></p> <table cellspacing="5" cellpadding="10"> <tbody> <tr> <td style="width: 271px;"> Administrators:<br /> <img width="250" height="201" alt="Setup and Configure DotNetNuke Core Search" src="/Portals/0/pics/issues/38/Core_search1_250.jpg" /><br /> </td> <td> <a href="http://www.dnncreative.com/Tutorials/DNNTutorialsforAdministrators/DotNetNukeCoreSearch/tabid/449/Default.aspx"> How to Setup and Configure the DotNetNuke Core Search</a><br /> (4 videos -

The FCK Editor is used in various DotNetNuke modules such as the Text / HTML module and the Forum. The FCK Editor allows you to add text, images and any HTML code you require and has an interface similar to Microsoft Word. <br /> <br /> We begin this issue with a demonstration of each FCK Editor Toolbar button function, covering simple text editing techniques through to advanced configuration options for links. <br /> <br /> We then demonstrate how to change the skin of the FCK Editor, how to upload it to your DotNetNuke portal and how to apply the new skin to the FCK Editor.<br /> <br /> Following on from this we show you how to configure the content area within the FCK Editor so that it displays the same text styling as your skin. We demonstrate how to solve problems that occur when dark colours are used for a skin background, such as text being unreadable in the editor. Finally we show you how to configure the settings in the FCK Editor within a single instance, modules of the same type and across a portal in your DotNetNuke installation.<br /> <br /> To round this issue off, we have two podcasts. The first is an interview with Chris Chodnicki and Kevin Schreiner of R2i where we discuss the release of their new product Open Web Studio (OWS). Then, to close the issue we have a discussion between Lee Sykes and Richard Wootton of DNN Creative about what is happening in the world of DotNetNuke this month. This will be a regular segment of the magazine where we aim to keep you updated on all the latest news in DotNetNuke. </p> <p> <br /> <br /> <strong>This issue comes complete with 13 video tutorials and 37 minutes of podcast interviews!</strong><span> <br /> <br /> <strong> Tutorials:</strong></span></p> <table cellspacing="5" cellpadding="10"> <tbody> <tr> <td style="width: 271px;"> Administrators:<br /> <br /> <img width="250" height="165" src="http://www.dnncreative.com/Portals/0/pics/issues/36/FCK_toolbara_250.gif" alt="FCK Editor Toolbar Functions" /></td> <td> <a href="http://www.dnncreative.com/Tutorials/DNNTutorialsforCoreModules/FCKEditorToolbarFunctions/tabid/419/Default.aspx"> FCK Editor Toolbar Functions</a><br /> (7 videos -

The main challenge for this skin was the layout of the panes in DotNetNuke, if a pane did not contain any content, the layout collapsed. This was fixed by changing and improving the original CSS of the XHTML template so that it is suitable for a CMS. Notice how the title backgrounds extend outside the text in the content pane.</td> </tr> <tr> <td> <img width="250" height="206" src="http://www.dnncreative.com/Portals/0/pics/issues/34/greenery.gif" alt="Greenery" /></td> <td> <a href="../../../../../Tutorials/SkinningTutorials/Greenery/tabid/413/Default.aspx"> Greenery</a><br /> Interesting fixed width design with an image cutting the skin in half.

To begin with we provide a quick start guide to using SQL queries with SQL Server Express. We demonstrate how to set up SQL Server Management Studio Express using Windows Vista so that you can execute a basic query on both a localhost and live DotNetNuke database.<br /> <br /> Following this we demonstrate using SQL queries for working with DotNetNuke security roles and users, focusing on exporting registered users to Excel and removing users from a security role based on their email address.<br /> <br /> To finish we demonstrate working with shadow / copied modules. This is an essential and powerful administration task that can enhance your DotNetNuke portals and reduce administration time. Shadow or Copied modules can be used to update the same content on several pages from one central area. We demonstrate how you can use SQL queries to easily maintain these copied modules. The SQL techniques outlined in this tutorial are very powerful techniques for easily and quickly manipulating multiple copied modules across thousands of pages in a DotNetNuke portal and are particularly useful if you are re-skinning an already established site.</p> <p>&nbsp; </p> <p> <strong> <br /> <br /> This issue comes complete with 11 videos.<br /> </strong><span><strong> <br /> <br /> Tutorials:</strong></span></p> <table cellspacing="5" cellpadding="10"> <tbody> <tr> <td style="width: 271px;"> Administrators:<br /> <br /> <img width="250" height="153" src="http://www.dnncreative.com/Portals/0/pics/issues/32/intro_to_SQL_w250.jpg" alt="Introduction to SQL Queries with SQL Server Express, DotNetNuke and Vista" /></td> <td> <a href="http://www.dnncreative.com/Tutorials/DNNTutorialsforAdministrators/IntroductiontoSQLQueries/tabid/400/Default.aspx"> Introduction to SQL Queries with SQL Server Express, DotNetNuke and Vista</a><br /> (4 videos - 30mins)</td> </tr> <tr> <td> <img width="250" height="209" src="http://www.dnncreative.com/Portals/0/pics/issues/32/Exporting_users_w250.jpg" alt="SQL Queries for exporting users" /></td> <td> <a href="http://www.dnncreative.com/Tutorials/DNNTutorialsforAdministrators/SQLExportingusersonsecurityrole/tabid/401/Default.aspx"> SQL Queries for Exporting DotNetNuke Users and Working with Security Roles</a><br /> (2 videos - 17mins)</td> </tr> <tr> <td> <img width="250" height="196" src="http://www.dnncreative.com/Portals/0/pics/issues/32/working_with_shadow_modules_w250.jpg" alt="Working with Shadow modules" /></td> <td> <a href="http://www.dnncreative.com/Tutorials/DNNTutorialsforAdministrators/ShadowcopymodulesandSQL/tabid/402/Default.aspx"> Working with Shadow / Copied Modules and SQL in DotNetNuke</a><br /> (5 videos - 42mins)</td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <p> <a href="http://www.dnncreative.com/Home/Issues/Volume3/Issueno32/tabid/403/Default.aspx"> View issue 32 to download all of the videos in one zip file</a><br /> </p> <br /> <hr width="100%" size="2" /> <br /> <a href="http://www.dnncreative.com">DNN Creative Magazine for DotNetNuke Web Designers</a><br /> Covering DotNetNuke module video reviews, video tutorials, mp3 interviews, resources and web design tips for working with DotNetNuke.<br /> <br /> <strong>In 32 issues we have created 295 videos!</strong>Richard WoottonWed, 30 Apr 2008 09:13:00 GMTf1397696-738c-4295-afcd-943feb885714:345https://www.dnncreative.com/Articles/tabid/99/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/344/Default.aspx#Comments0http://www.dnncreative.com:443/DesktopModules/DnnForge%20-%20NewsArticles/RssComments.aspx?TabID=99&ModuleID=400&ArticleID=344http://www.dnncreative.com:443/DesktopModules/DnnForge%20-%20NewsArticles/Tracking/Trackback.aspx?ArticleID=344&PortalID=0&TabID=99Working with Shadow / Copied Modules and SQL in DotNetNuke - 5 Videoshttps://www.dnncreative.com/Tutorials/DNNTutorialsforAdministrators/ShadowcopymodulesandSQL/tabid/402/Default.aspxIn this tutorial we demonstrate how to use shadow / copied modules.
