In this post I will explains about how setting up your DotNetNuke module development environment. Setting up your development environment can vary based on what your end goal is. If you are doing module development for your own use, and within your own DNN environments, you can ignore a few of the settings below. If you are doing module development with the idea that you might turn around and give the modules away, or sell them, then you will likely want to follow the guidelines set forth below to support the widest array of DNN installation environments.
I recommend that each developer have their own local development environment, with a local IIS website running DotNetNuke, and a SQL Server 2008/2012 (not express, though you can use it) database for the website. Having an individual development environment makes group module development far easier than if you share environments/databases.

Choosing a DotNetNuke Version

Choosing a version of DotNetNuke is important when you start your development for couple of reasons. For modules that you are developing for yourself, you need to ask, what is the minimum version of DotNetNuke that you have in production. Are you running DNN 5.6.1? Are you running 6.2.6, 7.0.0, 7.0.6? Based on the answer you can determine what version of DNN you should setup as your development environment. You shouldn't be developing on a newer version of DNN than what you have running in production. As with everything there are ways around this, but I am not going to go into the details on that in this tutorial.

As a developer working to create modules and release those, you might have production sites that are running on the latest and greatest version of DNN, but what about your customers? Or your potential customers? You have to ask yourself, do you want to provide support for really old versions of DotNetNuke? From a development perspective you will probably say no, but from a business perspective, you might say yes, and here’s why. Not everyone upgrades DotNetNuke websites as they should, and often times you will find that some people never upgrade. While I don’t advise taking that approach to managing a DotNetNuke website, it is a fact of life that people don’t always upgrade and there are thousands of people, if not tens of thousands, that have sites that aren’t running on the latest version of DNN. You should take that into account when you are doing your module development, if you compile your module against an older version of DNN then your module should run on newer versions of as well, for example. If you compile your module against DotNetNuke 6.2.6 it will likely run on every version of DNN released since then. Though there are extended cases where this won’t always work, DNN strives to maintain backwards compatibility, this isn't always possible.

You might also want to use features that are only available starting with a specific version of DotNetNuke, such as the workflow functionality found starting in DNN 5.1, in that case you may choose not to support older versions of the platform out of necessity. This will minimize the market in which you can sell your modules, but also can make for less support and an easier development cycle due to the features that DNN provides.

Choosing a Package

Now here’s one that may baffle you a bit. I’m going to recommend that you use the INSTALL package for whatever version of DotNetNuke that you download. What? The INSTALL package? What about the SOURCE package? Well you can use the source, but you don’t need it. The module development that I’m setting you up for doesn't require the DNN source, and using the INSTALL package makes your development environment cleaner. We aren't going to be opening the DotNetNuke project when we do our module development, so why have the files sitting around for nothing? Also, if you've ever tried to use the SOURCE package for anything, you'll know it isn't easy.
The steps for setting up your development environment will apply to both the Community and Professional editions of DotNetNuke.

Installation Configuration

Once you have the version selection out of the way you can go through the installation process. While I’m not going to walk you through the minutest of details of each step of installing DotNetNuke in this post, I will at least try to point you in the right direction for each step.

Download the INSTALL package of the version of DotNetNuke you want to use in your development environment.

Extract the files in the INSTALL package to a location of your choosing, this location is where you will point IIS (the web server) when we can configure the website. In my environment I typically use c:\websites\dnnxxx.me\ (One item of note: you may need to right click on the ZIP file and choose Properties before extracting, on the properties window if you have an UNBLOCK option, click that. Some versions of Windows have started blocking files within the DotNetNuke ZIP files, which will cause you problems later during the actual install.)

Setup IIS

IIS is the web server that comes with Windows computers. DNN 7 requires IIS 7 or later (7,7.5,8.0), so you will need at least Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8, or Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows Server 2012.

In IIS you should create a new website (Note: If you use an existing website in IIS be sure to add the HOST binding for DNNxxx.ME), and point to the folder where you extracted the INSTALL package.

Note: With DotNetNuke 7.0+, .NET Framework 4.0 is required, so be sure that your application pool is configured to run under 4.0, and not 2.0.

Set File Permissions

Setting up the file permissions for your DNN install is often the step that causes the most trouble. You should right click on the FOLDER in which you extracted DNN (c:\websites\dnnxxx.me\) and choose properties. Choose the Security tab. You need to add permissions for the account in which your website's application pool is running under. You will want to setup the permissions to give the account Full or Modify permissions for the DNNxxx.ME folder. Which account you will use will vary based on your version of IIS, here’s a simple list of some of the default accounts based on the version of IIS.

IIS Version Operating System Account

• IIS 7 Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008 localmachine\Network Service
• IIS 7.5 Windows 2008 R2, Windows 7 IIS AppPool\APPPOOLNAME
• IIS 8 Windows 2012, Windows 8 IIS AppPool\APPPOOLNAME
  

Note: If you are using IIS7.5/8.0 you’ll notice in the above table that we have APPPOOLNAME in the identity, this is because when you setup a new website in IIS a new application pool is created. In place of you should type in the name of the application pool that was created. You can also bypass this and configure your application pool to use the Network Service account instead of a dynamic account if you would like.

Database Configuration

In SQL Server you should go through and create a new database. I always create a database with the same name as the website, so in this case DNNxxx.ME. Once you have created the database, create a user that can access that database. I always use SQL authentication, turn off the enforce password requirements, and give the user DB Owner and Public access to the DNNxxx.ME database. Remember the username and password you create here as you will need them when you walk through the Installation screen for DotNetNuke.

DotNetNuke Installation Screen

Populate the installation screen with the standard DNN information, Host username, password, etc. For the Database option, choose Custom and configure your database connection, providing the Server IP/Name, the Database name (dnnxxx.me). For the database authentication you'll want to choose the option that allows you to enter the username/password for the database user that you created previously.

Now there are two additional options you can configure, normally I would tell you not to modify these, but from a development environment perspective I do recommend that you change the objectQualifier setting. It should be blank by default, you should type in “dnn” (without quotes), this will prepend “dnn_” to all of the objects that get created by DNN such as Tables and Stored Procedures. This is not something I recommend from a production stand point, but if you are developing modules for sale, then supporting objectQualifier in your development is recommended. It will save you time down the road if you have a customer who has an objectQualifier defined on their production databases.

In this post we will show you how to enable google Analytics on a DNN website. Google Analytics is one of those must-have tools when running a website.  The tasks of tracking traffic sources, browser versions, search terms, etc. are all made easy.  The developers of DotNetNuke have also made using Google Analytics on a DotNetNuke website simple.

Installing Google Analytics in DotNetNuke is a fairly common request from many individuals and I know it can be a quite troubling question for most. The primary questions are how and where can I put the javascript code provided by Google. Well you have a few options. First you could put the code directly in the skin for the site, the advantages to that would be that you will automatically have the code on all pages, however, the disadvantage is that you cannot use that skin as is on another portal due to the site specific Google information. I personally go the route of adding a text/html module to my site and set it to show on every page and insert the script in a very specific location which I will discuss below. There are a few drawbacks to this method. First you will not get any statistics information on traffic to "edit pages" where other modules are not displayed and you also will not receive information regarding administration modules. However, in most circumstances this shouldn't be an issue.

The best way to include this information is to include the information in the Module header of the text/html module. This is to prevent the accidental removal of the script code if you happen to click inside the module as an admin to enter in-line edit mode. Below I will walk you through the steps needed to implement Google Analytics using this method. (NOTE: you can extend this for other javascript integrations if needed).

Step By Step

• Add a new Text/HTML module to a page of your site, you can position it anywhere, but I recommend the bottom of the page as administrative users will still see the module when they are logged in
  
• Edit the text of the module to contain no text
  
• Enter the module settings from the SolPart Action Menu
  
• Expand the "Advanced Settings" section
  
• Check the box next to "Display Module On All Pages?"
  
• Insert your Javascript code in the "Header" box. This will ensure that the data is always retained
  
• Now under "Page Settings" -> "Basic Settings" un-check the following boxes
  • Display Container
    
  • Allow Print
    
  • Allow Syndicate
    
• Ensure that the "Cache Time" is set to 0 (Caching appeared to cause issues with this implementation in my testing)
  
• Click "Update" to save your changes

This should complete the setup. You may now test to ensure everything is functioning correctly. You can log out as an administrator and view your site and no extra content should be displayed however if you look at the generated source you should see your javacript listed. Google Analytics should update within about 15 minutes to show that they are receiving your data.

When you own an ecommerce website it is important to have a shopping cart that provides your customer with ease of searching and buying products off your website. Chances are, if their shopping experience was anything below subpar, they are going to go elsewhere to find their products. Providing your customer with a superior check out system ensures them of legitimacy as well as being more inclined to return to your website for future purchases.

Due to the wide variety of options out there, finding a good shopping cart to use is not always the easiest decision to make. While shopping carts generally all have the same basic features, there are always those much needed features that some will have and others do not. Is it easy to customize? Can you skin it to match the rest of your site? Does it integrate with the payment processor of your choice? How does it handle shipping?

Other features to take into consideration: How large is your catalog or how many products do you have? Do you need a shopping cart capable of handling large catalogs, and if so, how important is ease of organization to you? Or does a shopping cart with a much smaller capacity suit your needs better? Does it integrate with your shipping provider? Does it offer multi-currency support? These are just a few of the many things to think about when selecting your shopping cart.

To help you out in your decision making process, below, is a list of our top 5 shopping carts for DotNetNuke, or DNN, for both small and large business websites.

1. Smith Cart

It also has a feature that places a mini-cart module on every web page that shows the customers current items in cart and total of current order. Catalook also features rentable options for booking things like hotels, cars, ect. While Catalook is at a slightly higher price tag and is packed full of features for just about anything you can think of, it falls into second place due to its lack of SEO tools and is much more difficult during the initial set up.

How To  Customizing Page Titles and Meta Data in DNN

There are several key fields that search engines use in their ranking algorithms: page title (that’s the text you see in the title bar of the browser), meta description (that’s text describing your page to search engines, which your visitors don’t normally see) and ‘H’ tags, which are your H1/H2/H3 tags denoting which are the headers in your content.

How you do this in DNN:

The page title and description are stored in the Page Settings. Simply open up the page settings for the current page, and you can edit these directly. Here’s the steps:

• Login as an Administrator, then go to the ‘Edit Page’ drop down on the top right hand side of the screen.
• Choose ‘Page Settings’ from that menu, and it will load up the settings for the page you’re currently browsing.
• To modify the page title, edit the value in the ‘Page Title’ field. In my example below, I’ve chosen some words that we can assume match the keywords/phrases that our fictitious bike company uses. Try and keep the length below about 70 characters so that, when it gets displayed in a Search Engine Results Page (SERP), you can see the whole title.
• To change the Page Description, type into the ‘Description’ box. Remember that your visitors won’t see this on your site. The key to a good description is again hitting your keywords, but doing so in a way that actually reads well. If your page gets included in a SERP, it’s likely that the search engine will use the Page Description as the two or three line description for your page. Try and keep it to under 150 characters so that it stands a good chance of displaying nicely in a SERP listing, and the ratio of your keywords to the rest of the text is not too diluted.
• When you’re finished, click ‘Update Page’ – the settings screen will close and you’re finished. (You’ll note on my example I didn’t bother with the Meta Tags at all)

Overview: H Tags

DNN doesn’t enforce the use of any particular H tag, so you’re free to edit one into your content however you like. It’s also possible to define a custom skin for your DNN site that shows a H1 for a specific page value (such as the module title for a piece of content).

I’d recommend leaving any ‘H’ tags out of your skin and just making sure that you define a H1 tag for each separate piece of content that you write (like a blog post title, for example). But others may disagree with me and just be happy to define a H1 tag using the page name of each page. I prefer to customize every bit of content for maximum impact – but this does take much, much longer.

To make something a ‘H1’ in DNN, here’s how you do it:
Use the ‘Edit this Page’ button in the ‘Edit Page’ dropdown to enter edit mode for the current page.

1. Hover over the ‘Pencil’ edit icon and click on ‘Edit Content’
2. Type in your header (or select an existing header with your mouse)
3. Use the style drop down to select ‘Heading 1’

10 Tips For DotNetNuke Skins for SmartPhones

DotnetNuke skinning is changing with the latest trends one of which is building websites for smartphones and handheld devices like iPod, iPad, Android-based smartphones and many more. In this Article I have shared 10 tips which will be extremely useful for DotnetNuke Skinning for smartphones and most handheld devices.

Tip #1

basic mobile styles
html, body {
background: #fff;
color: #000;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
font: 12px/15px sans-serif;
}

Do not rely on support of font related styling

Tip #2

No width content, careful with floats

• {width: auto;}
• {float: none;}

Tip #3

Setting the viewport

Add to <head> section
<meta name=”viewport” content=“width=device-width”/>
In DNN, add to default.ascx

var script = document.createElement(“meta”);
script.name = “viewport”;
script.content = “width=device-width”;
document.getElementsByTagName(“head”).item(0).appendChild(script);
</script>

Tip #4

keep it simple

• What are mobile visitors looking for?
• What information do they want/need?
• Do mobile visitors have time/interest in all of my tedious sidebar content?
• With a barebones stylesheet, which elements are clearly superfluous?
• Which navigational elements are absolutely necessary? Which are redundant?
• Are there entire regions of my page that would be better off not displayed?

Display only the essential no leftpane or right pane

ASP.NET is an acronym for the Active Server Pages. NET, is a brilliant framework developed by Microsoft. ASP.NET is extremely useful for creation of web applications, and web pages, and forms an essential part of the web goodies developed for any online content. ASP.NET not only facilitates usage of scripting languages, but also allows you to incorporate usage of extremely efficient next-generation programming languages like Java, VB, C+and the likes of them.

Looking at the historical perspective, in the earlier days, the development of well-designed webpages were a tedious task, and the developers had to put in rigorous efforts due to lack of efficient technology and a complete framework. As a result, soon after the release of IIS, a powerful technology like ASP.NET was in high demand for developing proficient web-based applications within a short time without putting-in too much of human labor.

ASPHostPortal.com offers ASP.NET Core RTM Hosting with expert team support. They support this new technology with affordable price, a lot of ASP.NET features, 99.99% uptime guarantee, 24/7 support, and 30 days money back guarantee.
