clock September 20, 2016 23:52 by author Dan


Since the introduction of internet and the start of commercial websites, the World Wide Web is swarming with millions of online portals of various businesses and companies. In the 21st century, online marketing has come up as the best way of promoting and advertising your business to millions of customers browsing the web. In a recent survey, it was concluded that companies with a smart and creative website have experienced a higher increase in profitability than the companies without any online image and presence. The increase in the number of internet users and its ever expanding horizons has made the web a perfect platform to reach all the internet users. This is why companies worldwide are switching to creative websites to promote and expand their business over the web.

While commercial website development has been in practice for almost more than a decade now, it has seen many changes and innovations. From the traditional sober web pages to the high end creative portals with multimedia integration, the process of web designing and development has evolved with the changing needs of advertising. The older open source content management platforms were incapable of adjusting to the frequent changes in the company's profile and its evolving array of products or services. But with the introduction of new age highly competitive content management systems like Dot Net Nuke and others, this concern is now resolved. If you are planning to have a website built for your business, consider using the DNN (Dot Net Nuke) open source CMS to ensure your website supports the latest features and services.

If you already have a website and do not plan on getting a new one, it is even possible to get it upgraded to a fully functional DNN portal without having the need to re-build it. There are many outsourcing companies which offer the service of PSD to Dot Net Nuke conversion and upgradation for businesses to succeed online. You can contact any such website designing service provider for your web based needs and achieve great results by their efforts. With effective DNN upgradation of your old website, you can make it look more appealing and attractive. Not only this, the website of your business will also become a lot more user friendly and easy to operate with the advanced and convenient to use content management system offered by dot Net Nuke.

With the easy shopping facility offered by eCommerce platforms like Magento and Opencart, you can ensure more sales and increased profitability for your business. The customers can purchase your products or avail the services directly from your website, giving you a competitive advantage and ace. But all these features will give excellent results only when you appoint expert DNN developers for the task. There are many outsourcing companies which have dedicated professionals with diversified experience to provide you the best results for your web development needs. After all, you do not upgrade your website every season, and the results need to be perfect in the first go itself.

So look for a reliable internet solutions company offering world class web development services and get the open source CMS of your website upgraded from PSD to Dot Net Nuke to attract more customers and increase your profitability.

DotNetNuke Hosting - ASPHostPortal.com :: Easy Steps to Create CatalookDotnetStore Modules for Ecommerce in DotNetNuke

clock September 14, 2016 00:23 by author Dan

 

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.

DotNetNuke Hosting - ASPHostPortal.com :: How to Install Google Analytic on DNN Website?

clock September 6, 2016 23:29 by author Dan

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).

  • 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.

DotNetNuke Hosting - ASPHostPortal.com :: Top 5 DNN Shopping Cart Modules

clock Augustus 9, 2016 23:56 by author Dan

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.

About ASPHostPortal.com

We’re a company that works differently to most. Value is what we output and help our customers achieve, not how much money we put in the bank. It’s not because we are altruistic. It’s based on an even simpler principle. "Do good things, and good things will come to you".

Success for us is something that is continually experienced, not something that is reached. For us it is all about the experience – more than the journey. Life is a continual experience. We see the Internet as being an incredible amplifier to the experience of life for all of us. It can help humanity come together to explode in knowledge exploration and discussion. It is continual enlightenment of new ideas, experiences, and passions
