I type too fast while creating a blog post. This results sometimes content loss because of accidental pressing to Backspace button. After discussing this problem with Telerik's Staff i was able to solve the problem with their help. Although they had clear instructions, i created a DotNetNuke tutorial for beginners.

However, it keeps me away from it.You may ask the reason behind it. Here is the follow up.Since, DotNetNuke and Telerik will have a ongoing partnership, Telerik products will be offered partly in a dotnetnuke installation.This will be one of the greatest enhancements for DotNetNuke developers, sad thing is only Professional Edition owners will benefit it rapidly.Well, i have asked Telerik staff about the problem with Community Edition of DotNetNuke 5.2.1 and their products. I hope they will give me a clue soon.

However there are some outstanding issues that prevent us to have it nicely. The first and most headache problem is within Cache. Looks like encoding of cached items are wrong. I already pointed this out and published a video that shows how to fix the problem at my personal blog. However, you may want to have a permanent fix, that is also available from DotNetNuke Blog. The second and geographical problem is resides within Turkish Community. Looks like there is a legend while creating a language pack resulting the manifest file is being created with incorrect file name. This will lead us to impossibility to install any language pack for Turkish locale to any DNN instance... You can check out the demo video at my personal blog post. I also started a discussion at DotNetNuke Forums about this problem. I would welcome if you join the discussion and scream for the fix :) Btw, my subscribers asking the possibility of installing DNN 5.2.0 to Godaddy Root Path using my tutorials and methods. Well, to be honest i haven't tested it yet because of tight schedule... But i assume it should work, but i wouldn't recommend it yet since 5.2.1 will be out in a few weeks... Keep on the line to get latest news :) Ismet Dumlupinar Sat, 05 Dec 2009 04:39:00 GMT f1397696-738c-4295-afcd-943feb885714:356 http://www.mynetnuke.com/Blog/tabid/525/ID/355/Almost-1000-Subscribers-This-Month.aspx#Comments 1 http://www.mynetnuke.com/DesktopModules/DnnForge%20-%20NewsArticles/RssComments.aspx?TabID=525&ModuleID=1091&ArticleID=355 http://www.mynetnuke.com/DesktopModules/DnnForge%20-%20NewsArticles/Tracking/Trackback.aspx?ArticleID=355&PortalID=28&TabID=525 http://www.mynetnuke.com/Blog/tabid/525/ID/355/Almost-1000-Subscribers-This-Month.aspx In my previous articles i have explained how DotNetNuke can save you from hosting fees, now i want to share a good news. My blog is getting popular each day and it is only targeting DotNetNuke Community. From this aspect of view, i can gladly say that now MyNetNuke has almost 1000 subscribers.

Well, i have already discussed it billion times with my visitors and wanted to highlight it again. You can use DotNetNuke to host multiple domains under single hosting account. You can use DotNetnuke to save hosting account payments. For example, Godaddy charges you for 6.95 for Deluxe Windows Hosting account right? Lets say, you have three domains. Domain 1 Domain 2 Domain 3 In order to host those three domains and install DotNetNuke, you will need hosting accounts for each of the domain that you wanna use. Well if you multiply 6.95 with 3, it outcomes you for 21 $ almost. What a hassle. Then multiply this with 12. It is almost 250$ right? Forget about that. You can use your own one hosting account to host multiple websites. And can spend remaining amount for purchasing a skin, a third party module or a drink :) I won't request much for telling my screet. I just welcome you to subscribe my blogs located at MyNetNuke - which is only targeted DotNetNuke users that are looking for low-priced hosting accounts.

While checking my personal blog and doing some work, i noticed New version available message through control panel. After a few weeks of DotNetNuke 5.1.2, DotNetNuke 5.1.3 and DotNetNuke 5.1.4 packages are published under CodePlex. Here are some of the key points of DotNetNuke 5.1.4 release: Added the ability to specify a subject line when emailing event viewer logs Modified the event viewer to include event logs as email attachments when emailing the event logs Added the ability to use dictionary objects for token replacement in system messages Fixed an issue which caused an error whenever edititng the Site Settings. Fixed issue which caused an error trying to retrieve a role group by name Fixed an issue which prevented a skin from being able to be re-installed or uninstalled. Fixed issue where Html module was displaying unpublished content Fixed issue where URLs for pages within the site were always being created as relative which is a change from previous versions. Removed solution explorer page from the Admin menu and removed the Marketplace feed from the OPML file. Fixed issue with upgrading DotNetNuke 4.x skins when upgrading site to DotNetNuke 5.x Fixed issue which resulted in incorrect URL for SiteMap in a child portal Fixed issue which caused error when deleting files from the Host file manager.

Last weekend, i had to upgrade DotNetNuke version on MyNetNuke to 5.1.2. The process was quite complicated, because of several reasons such as database version. The initial built of this portal was using a MS SQL 2000 db. Then i used MSSQL 2005 Server and finally switched to MSSQL 2008 Server. The moving process was quite easy. But the upgrades were almost a disaster. Luckly, i completed the upgrade process and i will publish a tutorial for upgrading a pretty old release to newer one. By this time my tutorials for running dotnetnuke at godaddy root are still valid. If you want to host multiple websites under a single dotnetnuke installation, consider subscribing to my private articles. So far i have more than 500 subscribers and those people get support from me which Godaddy does not provide.

You can find key notes and major highlights below: Added the ability to automatically update user roles without requiring the user to logout and log back in. Changed the user deletion code to use a soft-delete rather than removing the user record. This ensures that modules like the Forums behave correctly for a previously "deleted" user. Added IP logging to the User's table to capture the last IP address from which a user logged in. Fixed breaking change with case sensitivity in the name of skin panes. This fix restores the case-insensitivity of previous DotNetNuke releases. Fixed breaking change with ModuleId in DotNetNuke 5.0 which changed ModuleId to a readonly value. Fixed breaking change in CBO.FillDictionary to restore previous behavior. Fixed breaking change which prevented legacy skins from being installed when using the auto-install option. Fixed breaking change which prevented updated DLLs from being replaced when repairing a module installation. Fixed breaking change in HumanFriendlyUrls which prevented querystrings from being properly read when using HumanFriendlyUrls Fixed breaking change in legacy modules which would not store a zip file which was not designated as a resource file. Fixed breaking change in legacy modules which ignored zip directories. DNN 5 changed this behavior. Fixed breaking change in default.css which resulted in changes to existing skin layouts. Fixed issue with roles module which prevented users from delegating role administration to a non-admin user. Fixed issue which prevented some users from logging out due to the inability of the system to detect their country. Fixed issue with Module Action Menu which prevented it from opening links in new windows. Fixed issue that results in an error when the Cache logs an error under the new CACHE_ERROR event type Fixed a packaging issue with FCKEditor which caused the LinkEditor to cause an unhandled exception. Fixed an issue which resulted in the system not being able to display the portalaliases screen Security Fixes Fixed version information leakage issue in the install wizard   Updated Modules/Providers The following modules and providers have been updated in the 5.0.1 packages.

I was actually trying to upgrade website components to newer releases. However, upgrade failed for some reason and i wasn't able to restore content and database backup quickly. Although i had verified backups (lessons learned from early mistakes) i could restore it after a few attempts. When a major release published i find it a bit difficult to upgrade from earlier releases of DotNetNuke. Maybe they should add test cases for Upgrades and they shouldn't make last minute changes on packages. This can be somewhat painful for new DotNetNuke users. Currently i have to follow upgrade path again in order to apply things in my mind. I hope this time everything goes smoothly. Please keep in mind to check DotNetNuke forums if you are willing to upgrade to DotNetNuke 5.

What if you are using an old release of DotNetNuke? You must upgrade your existing websites to newest release. According to security bulletins out there, old releases have issues with security roles. An attacker could access to your site and gain access to private roles. This is a security hole and an important issue. The solution is upgrading your DotNetNuke Installation. With this tutorial, you will have no hesitation during an upgrade process. Let's get started. I'm going to cover all required actions to upgrade a DotNetNuke installation hosted by Godaddy. If you would have followed default upgrade instructions on a custom installation, it would most likely to have some problems. It's best practice to read full tutorial first and apply instructions then. Before Begin: It's recommended to have following software before upgrading your website. Visual Web Developer 2008 Express Edition (Service Pack 1 Upgrade enabled) [get it here] [register here] Mozilla Firefox (optional) [get it here] Mozilla Filezilla (optional) [get it here] Winzip or WinRAR Compression Utility (optional) [get Winzip] [get WinRAR] Ismet Dumlupinar Sun, 25 Jan 2009 19:27:00 GMT f1397696-738c-4295-afcd-943feb885714:310 http://www.mynetnuke.com/Blog/tabid/525/ID/309/How-to-Install-DotNetNuke-50-to-Godaddy-Root-Path.aspx#Comments 0 http://www.mynetnuke.com/DesktopModules/DnnForge%20-%20NewsArticles/RssComments.aspx?TabID=525&ModuleID=1091&ArticleID=309 http://www.mynetnuke.com/DesktopModules/DnnForge%20-%20NewsArticles/Tracking/Trackback.aspx?ArticleID=309&PortalID=28&TabID=525 http://www.mynetnuke.com/Blog/tabid/525/ID/309/How-to-Install-DotNetNuke-50-to-Godaddy-Root-Path.aspx After reading this article, you will be able to install DotNetNuke 5.0.0 release (currently latest DNN release available) application to root directory under of your Godaddy hosted environment. Before go on reading, make sure that you are using one of Godaddy (Deluxe or Premium) Windows plans. View Highlights of DotNetNuke 5.0.0 Update:  A friend reported that Economy plan is enough to install at root level. However i wont support this plan since i haven't used it recently. It is very important that, i cannot accept any liability if this tutorial breaks your live environment, notice that this tutorial only works for new installations, not for upgrades. You also should backup your files before replacing them. As default, Godaddy does not allow customers to install DotNetNuke to root level. See offical KB Article at following link: Can I Install a DotNetNuke in my Root Folder? However with some effort, you can install DNN to root. I know it's not simple. But i had installed almost all releases from early DNN 4.x to DNN 4.9 release to root path with a good strategy.

To make it work i wrote a simple tutorial for DotNetNuke and Telerik users. I will add images to make it clearly understandable. 1) Download and install DotNetNuke v4.9.1 Release first. 2) Install Telerik Modules (Telerik.DNN.Modules_2008_3_1125_trial.zip) as a host user to DotNetNuke 4.9.1 3) Make sure it works by adding a page to DotNetNuke 4.9.1 installation called Editor Settings and insert a RadEditor Provider module from Control panel and switch FCK Editor to RadEditor and test it with any Text/HTML module instance on this portal. 4) Download and install DotNetNuke 5.0.0 Release 5) Do not install Telerik.DNN.Modules_2008_3_1125_trial.zip yet. Please read through the guide. 6) Copy the App_Code\TelerikWebUI directory (with contents) located under 4.9.1 release to same location at DotNetNuke 5.0.0 installation. e.g for 4.9.1 installation my directory is: (E:\Webs\dnn491\App_Code\TelerikWebUI) I copied the directory above to (E:\Webs\dnn500\App_Code\TelerikWebUI). Note: dnn491 and dnn500 are the virtual directory names that i have created while installing dnn. 7) Copy Telerik.Web.UI.dll file from bin directory of 4.9.1 installation to bin directory of 5.0.0 installation. 8) Copy DesktopModules\TelerikWebUI directory of 4.9.1 installation to DesktopModules\TelerikWebUI of 5.0.0 installation. 9) Login to DotNetNuke 5.0.0 installation and navigate to Host > Module Definitions. 10) Select Create New Module from menu. 11) Using New Extension Wizard of DotNetNuke 5.0 you can create your module. Type RadEditorProvider at Name field. 12) Type RadEditor Provider at Friendly Name field. 13) Type Telerik RadEditor HtmlEditorProvider for DotNetNuke 5.x at Description field. 14) Select 5.0.0 as version and click to Next button. 15) Ensure that Business Controller Class field is empty and click to Next button. 16) Fill the Owner Details Wizard (i am not sure this step is required) and click to Next button. 17) Now you will be redirected to Host > Module Definitions page. Find RadEditor Provider from list and click pencil icon next to it. This will let you edit extension. 18) At Configure RadEditor Provider Extension Settings > Module Definitions, click to Add Definition button. Type Telerik RadEditor Provider to Friendly Name field and ensure that Default Cache Time is set to 0. Click to Create Definition button. 19) Now navigate to Module Controls section and click to Add Module Control button. At Edit Module Control Wizard, type RadEditorWebUI for Title and select DesktopModules\TelerikWebUI\RadEditorProvider\RadEditorWebUI.ascx from drop-down list. Don't change other fields and click to Update button. 20) Now add a new page to your DotNetNuke 5.0 installation and name it like Telerik Settings. 21) From top control panel, add RadEditor Provider to ContentPane. 22) Now you should be able to switch between RadEditor and FCK from this panel. Select RadEditor Provider from list and click to Enable This Editor button. 23) Ensure that RadEditor Provider works by editing any Text/HTML module content.

DotNetNuke does not have built-in backup module yet. Assuming you are using Godaddy for hosting your DotNetNuke portal, i thought about writing a simple tutorial about how to backup dotnetnuke from your hosting control panel. Before Begin Ensure that you are using one of Godaddy Windows Hosting Plans (Economy Plan does not apply for this tutorial) Install Java Runtime Environment (this will help you to browsing files without the need of installing third party FTP Client)* Install a FTP Client (e.g Mozilla Filezilla) Here We Go Again Open Godaddy website and login to your account. Navigate to Hosting - My Hosting Account page. Click to Manage Account button for the domain you want to check. Hosting Control Center will be opened in a new window (or tab). Click to Databases > SQL Server Click to pencil icon that is located under Action tab. This will let you to view/edit details of selected database. Find Backup button on the panelbar and hit it. Then click OK button. Note: Ignore Pending Packup text at the image above. I was just taking a backup at that time. You may have to overwrite existing backup if Confirm File Override pop-up displays. If you don't want to override existing backup file with newly created one, then you should connect to your ftp account via a FTP Client (this is the first time Filezilla takes action) and rename existing backup file. If you don't have any FTP Client installed then you can use built-in File Manager  (requires JAVA to be installed) from Hosting Control Center. Optionally rename existing backup file to prevent data loss. (e.g rename  DB_1002731.bak to  Existing_DB_1002731.bak NOTE: I will add a short video for this step. Hosting Control Center modules will backup your database and this process will take up to two hours. After the operation you can find your backup file at db_backups directory at your FTP Account. NOTE 2: I will also add another video which will be useful to learn entire backup process with Godaddy.

How to Install DotNetNuke to Root Path of Your Hosting Account I just updated my old tutorial and changed instructions for latest release of DotNetNuke and Godaddy Control Panel (Hosting Center).

My application has been accepted by project leaders. Most of my readers know that i don't have expert developer skills, thats why i only selected "Localization, Testing and Documentation" tasks. So far, i really enjoyed working with a team since it was a great experience for me to take role at a part of an open source application. I hope to contribute more soon.   Ismet Dumlupinar Mon, 15 Sep 2008 09:56:00 GMT f1397696-738c-4295-afcd-943feb885714:301 http://www.mynetnuke.com/Blog/tabid/525/ID/300/Get-Latest-Release-of-DotNetNuke.aspx#Comments 1 http://www.mynetnuke.com/DesktopModules/DnnForge%20-%20NewsArticles/RssComments.aspx?TabID=525&ModuleID=1091&ArticleID=300 http://www.mynetnuke.com/DesktopModules/DnnForge%20-%20NewsArticles/Tracking/Trackback.aspx?ArticleID=300&PortalID=28&TabID=525 http://www.mynetnuke.com/Blog/tabid/525/ID/300/Get-Latest-Release-of-DotNetNuke.aspx DotNetNuke 4.9 release fixes several security issues. Some of them marked as low and two of them are marked as critical. You are strongly advised to upgrade your DotNetNuke installations to newest release. Remember to take backups before proceeding. I'm going to upgrade my tutorials to have competibility with new release of application.

He might think this is useful for some DotNetNuke users. I agree in most cases. But sometimes, it might cause other unexpected problems with custom modules.
