DotNetNuke is an automated content management framework that is explicitly intended to be used in intranet and extranet deployments with the open source portals. DotNetNuke contains a set of tools that enables you to build dynamic websites.

The word on the internet is that DNN 7.0 is about to drop any day now.   I’ve been following this one quite closely since the DNN World conference (a month ago now, how time flies!) and I’ve been doing extensive compatibility testing with my software.

And This top reason why you will love DotnetNuke 7 :

1. New Installation and Upgrade
There was a time when everyone seemed to agree that installing DotNetNuke was a tough task fit only for the bravest of souls.  I didn’t ever really think that way, because the whole idea of a self-installing and self-upgrading web application was the stuff of fantasy not that long ago.   I mean, I can remember the day when you had to register COM components and restart IIS to get stuff to run.  I hope you, the reader, have no idea what I just said because that means the industry has made vast gains.  DotNetNuke itself was always an easy thing to get going, but now it is dead simple and informative.

How so?  Well, the installer is a one-page set of questions, many of which are pre-answered.  And then, you click ‘go’, and it whizzes through, installs all the various parts and then gives you a new screen with a couple of options – either explore more about the platform, or just let you dive straight in and get going.  And, just like in DNN 6, when you’ve finished the install, you’re already logged in.  Nice.

DotNetNuke 7.0 now has an upgrade wizard with the same look and feel as the install wizard.  With the added feature of being required to log in as a super user account in order to start the wizard off.    Having done multiple upgrades with software testing now, I like everything about the upgrade wizard.

2. Default View Mode

DotNetNuke 7.0 now defaults to ‘View Mode’ – which, despite the fancy name – just means the content, by default, looks as it will to the site visitors.    And, because it defaults to ‘View Mode’, the old ‘View Mode’ wording/button/control – it’s gone now.  It’s just the normal view, or edit or layout views.  Simple.

3. Drag and Drop

You select the thing you want to add (Text/Html module) then you drag a copy of that to the place on the page you want it.   That’s it – couldn’t be simpler or more intuitive.  To me it is very elegant in operation because not only are you putting things where you want, but the page expands dynamically to show where the insert will be.

4. Auto Save

With the Text/Html module, your content can be auto-saved as you type.  No more lost content.  Much fewer curse words being sent in the direction of DotNetNuke installs.  A real positive step forwards.

5. Control Panel

The new DNN 7 control panel uses the concept of common, less common and user-configurable areas.  Or, in plain-speak, things you use all the time, things you don’t, and a place where you can make your own list.

Benefit Of DotNetNuke 7 for Website Developer

1. Benefit from 1000s of ready-to-use functionalities

DotNetNuke comes with many built-in features that are ready to be used in your website. By using DotNetNuke, you will be able to add rich features to your website, for free, such as discussion forums, blogs, feedback forms and much more. You can also select from thousands of commercial extensions, that will allow you to include advanced functionalities, such as image galleries, image slideshows, opt-in email marketing and e-commerce. And if you can't find what you need, you still have the option to develop customized extensions, knowing that there is a community of over 700,000 users ready to assist.

2. Easier and faster website development

DotNetNuke will make developing websites faster, whether you are using DotNetNuke as an instant website builder or as a web application framework. For more information, see our Developing with DNN section.

3. Make more money developing websites

DotNetNuke will give you a competitive advantage to win website development contracts. By showing your potential clients the many advantages they will have if their website is built with DotNetNuke, you can more easily convince people to choose your services. Shorter delays to develop websites, fully featured websites, ability to manage content easily in-house, proven technology: these arguments will certainly help you sell your proposal.

DotNetNuke (DNN) is a web application Open Source Platform and has grown in popularity over the years because it does a very good job of solving the problem of basic web solution. In this article, I am going to explain how we can create custom role and assign roles to the user.

Using "Roles" is one of the greatest features in DotNetNuke (DNN). Based on that, we can give rights to user to view pages, View Modules, access menus, etc. Roles can be customizable. We can restrict a user to view some page or some part of a Page based on the role only. Let's see how we can assign a role to a newly created user.

1.  Click on Edit (Pencil) icon for that user to whom we want to add a Role. Let's say I clicked on Edit icon of user "Abhijit Jana".


2. Click on "Manage Roles for this User" Link. This will redirect you to Create and Assign Role Page.


Here we can select the Roles for user. One user can have multiple Roles. We can give theeffective and Expiry date for roles too. Just Select Role from "Security Role" Dropdown and Select date if needed then click on the "Add Role to User" Link. This means selected role is now given to that user. We can also remove the added role in a similar way by clicking on Delete (Cross) Icon.

Creating new roles are very simple. Follow steps bellow:

1. From Admin Menu Clicks on "Security Roles" Link. This will open a new page with the list of all existing Roles.


2. Click on Down Arrow Icon with Security Roles (Lock Icon), and select "Add New Role" as shown in the picture given below, I am going to create a new Role:


3. Here we need to give the Role Name and Description with other details. Then we need to click on the Update button to save the Role:


5. On update, "Sales Team" roles will be added with the list of Roles. We can use the Edit (Pencil) Icon to Edit the Role.



I have already discussed how to assign a role to a user. We need to flow the same steps. Below are the sample screen shots where I am assigning the newly created "Sales Team" Role to a user.


Hope it will be helpful for those who are starting with DNN.

One of the many benefits of DotNetNuke is the ability to easily control which users of the website can see and interact with what content. You can control the security and settings at the Page and Module level. This is useful if you wanted to create sections of your website that are for registered website users, members only, or for employee only sections.

Roles

A role is usually a group of users. There are a couple default roles such as Registered User, Unauthenticated user as well as a subscriber. However, you can create as many roles as you may need for your website. Examples may include PaidMembership, Employee, BoardofDirector, or Blogger. You can then add users of the website to a role.

Users

A user is anyone who has a username and password to access the website. You may have created them an account, or possibly they registered and created their own account. By default every user will be in the Registered Users and Subscribers role. You can then manually add that user to additional roles as needed. Some modules like the 3rdparty DNNspot.com Store can automatically add users to roles after buying a certain product. For example, after they purchase a ‘membership’ it can add them into a member’s role.

You can read about page and module settings to learn more about how to configure what users on your website can access which areas or control who can edit what.

Managing Users

From the admin Users page, which can be accessed in the upper right corner under ‘common tasks,’ you are able to Add/Edit/Delete Users, manage passwords, as well as determine what fields you want to collect when a user registers.

Extending User Profile & Account Registration

By default, when you register DotNetNuke will collect a username, first name, last name, display name, email address, and a password. If you want to collect more information than the basics, roll over the blue arrow on the Users module and select Manage Profile Properties. You will notice when you access this area that you will see many more properties that you can enable and also you can add more fields by clicking Add New Profile Property. If Required is checked then the user must provide a value for that field. If visible is selected then it will be shown on the new user registration page. 

However, by default, DotNetNuke is configured for the basics registration options unless explicitly told otherwise. To get DNN to honor the custom profile fields you need to access the Users section then select “User Settings.”

The setting you want to change is Require a valid Profile for Registration. Set that to true and DNN will then use the custom profile fields on the new user registration page.

User Settings

You will notice a lot of settings in the User Settings area. The first two sections regarding Membership Provider Settings and Password Aging Settings are all controlled from your DotNetNuke web.config file. These cannot be configured from within DNN, only by editing that file. Many of the User Account settings are for configuring how the administrators User list is displayed. Then you have some valuable options like where to redirect the user after logging in, after logging out, or after registering. You can also require them to complete a CAPTCHA during the login or registration process. The require valid profile option is to show the user the additional profile properties when creating an account. Require a valid profile for login is an option in case you want to create someone’s username and password then send that to them. Once they login, they will have to complete the rest of their profile before getting access to the site.

DotNetNuke is an open-source content management system ideal for creating and deploying projects such as commercial websites, corporate intranets and extranets, and online publishing portals. DotNetNuke is built on a Microsoft ASP.NET (VB.NET) platform, and is easily installed and hosted with all of our Windows Hosting Plans. Many things can be done by DNN, one of them to make a captcha code to protect from spam.

This is tips to guide you make a captcha code with DNN :

First important requirement is you have to add the DNN Framework control at the top code of your form.

Write the code in the user control form :

This is the quick screenshot on how the html code will looks like.

Now lets have a look at the back end code. If you see carefully, the ctlCaptcha.IsValid determines if a captcha code has been entered correctly by user or not.

The list of captcha code properties that you need to know:

• CaptchaWidth: The width of the captcha control.
• CaptchaHeight: The height of the captcha control.
• CaptchaLength: The length of the characters inside the captcha control.
• CaptchaChars: The characters that will be used in the captcha control, dont use this attribute if you want to use random characters.
• Text: This will be the Text Introduction to notify the user to enter the captcha code.
• Text: This will be the Text Introduction to notify the user to enter the captcha code.
• ErrorMessage: This will be the error message when a captcha code is entered wrong. Note: you can overwrite the error message in behind code as well.

Dotnetnuke standard installs using the dbo as the default user. Some hosts however, like shared hosting service providers, do not allow you to use dbo. So in this case you have to install Dotnetnuke using your assigned username. This should work without any problems. But in case you have an existing website which was installed using the dbo user and you would like to migrate it to a hosting provider that does not allow dbo you have a problem.

The easiest way to migrate a Dotnetnuke website is by backing up the entire web and the database and restore it to the new environment. This will work fine only if your new environment allows dbo. If it does not you will find that when restoring the database all objects will have been assigned to your username and not to dbo and your web will not run.

To resolve this issue you can follow the steps outlined below after which your web will run without any problems. As this procedure requires changes to the databse please be sure to have a backup of your database and website. Note: This procedure is for a SQL server 2005 database!

Step 1:
Open your web.config file and look for "owner". Change the owner from dbo to your database username.
Open your web.config file and look for "owner". Change the owner from dbo to your database username.

Step 2:
In Microsoft SQL Server management studio select all stored procedures that DO NOT have aspnet in their name, rightclick and select "script as create to new query editor window".
In Microsoft SQL Server management studio select all stored procedures that DO NOT have aspnet in their name, rightclick and select "script as create to new query editor window".

This will create a script for all the selected stored procedures.

Step 3:
Where it says "new owner" below you should change it for your database username!
Where it says "new owner" below you should change it for your database username!

• In the just created script search and replace "create procedure" with "alter procedure"
• Search and replace "create procedure" with "alter procedure" (Note! with 2 spaces!)
• Search and replace "[dbo]" with "[new owner]"
• Search and replace "dbo." with "new owner."
• Execute the script

Step 4:
In Microsoft SQL Server management studio select all stored views that DO NOT have aspnet in their name, rightclick and select "script as create to new query editor window".
In Microsoft SQL Server management studio select all stored views that DO NOT have aspnet in their name, rightclick and select "script as create to new query editor window".

Step 5:

• Search and replace "[dbo]" with "[new owner]"
• Search and replace "dbo." with "new owner."
• Search and replace "create view" with "alter view"
• Search and replace "new owner.GetListParentKey" width "dbo.GetListParentKey"
• Execute the script

Step 6:

• Go to "functions" "Scalar-valued functions"
• rightclick and select "script as create to new query editor window" for function "fn_GetVersion"
• Search and replace "dbo." with "new owner." (including the "."!)
• Execute script

Step 7:

Open a new query window and paste the following script:

DotNetNuke equips developers with some of the most robust and powerful frameworks; crucial for building effectual Web applications desirable for eCommerce in DotNetNuke. Once these prerequisite components, especially the templates for Visual Studio and the framework for source edition are effectively installed, the actual process of development for DotNetNuke (DNN) modules becomes exceedingly fast and repeatable, as well as ready for instant use.

Furthermore, no or very little cost is involved in development of eCommerce in DotNetNuke modules as the templates, express editions and framework of the Visual Studio are commonly available free of cost. All you actually need for your eCommerce in DotNetNuke is Visual Studio, either Express or some other licensed edition; DotNetNuke Starter Kit which is available on the website of DotNetNuke; SQL Server, again either Express or some other licensed edition; and a working installation of DotNetNuke for your eCommerce in DotNetNuke.

Building an Ecommerce in DotNetNuke Module
To start with, you will need to open the DotNetNuke website development copy in your Visual Studio. Then simply add a plain file to your eCommerce in DotNetNuke project by making use of a DotNetNuke Dynamic Module template, which comes fully installed with your DotNetNuke Starter Kit package. Open your web.config file to trace the compilation node. Then simply proceed to add a node titled codeSubDirectories under compilation. Add one more item under the codeSubDirectories by using name of your module entered by you in the last step, in the following format: <add directoryName="ModuleName"/>.

Now, go to the Solution Explorer and proceed by locating the DesktopModules directory. Here, you will find a fresh directory that has been created by Dynamic Module template, below your DesktopModules directory. Rename the directory with the same module name used by you in your previous steps. You must next log-in into the DotNetNuke website, opened previously by you in the Visual Studio, by using the facility of a host account provided for the purpose. Under the main menu of this host account, select the Module Definitions option, and then select the Create New Module option. Now, you will need to fill-up this module form by making use of the same module name used by you in the steps followed earlier.

After that is done, click on the Add Control of the form for Create New Module. From the drop-down list, click select on the file that has been added to it by Dynamic Module template. This file represents module name that was specified in your previous steps; only with the extension:.ascx added to it. You now need to open this.ascx file in the Visual Studio. It will display both a code-behind view and design created by the module template. You can add functionality to this code-behind file as deemed suitable to your eCommerce in DotNetNuke. Visual and layout elements may also be added to your design view, if desired. Before making an attempt to create the module, it is advisable to verify DotNetNuke portal installation functionality.

Have a robust, full-featured site deployed in no time with DotNetNuke, one of the world's most trusted content management systems (CMS).
