Are you going to OpenForce07 in Las Vegas November 5-8th 2007? I am! And I even have the badge displaying on http://chrishammond.com

Have you seen the agenda for the conference yet? If not take a look at it here.

There will be 3 days of DotNetNuke topics, two tracks each day. It looks like I'm up second, on the second day, of the second track. We're also lining up a vendor booth for Engage Software, I'm hoping to write a demo version of

In a previous blog I had posted a document to help developers get started implementing their own provider. This video is aimed at helping those who have had trouble getting their environments setup correctly and issues with the web.config file. I am working on a second video that will walk through modifications required in the code. Coming soon!

Welcome back to the DotNetNuke tips! I started doing this over a year ago, though with getting married last fall and working on my Datsun 240Z lately I haven't blogged near as much lately about DNN topics. So here we go, starting up again with my DotNetNuke Tips.

I'm happy to announce that I've been selected to speak at the OpenForce07 DotNetNuke conference in Las Vegas during this year's fall DevConnections. DevConnections looks to be one of the larger conferences this year now that the PDC has been cancelled for this year. I'll be presenting on "Portal Administration Best Practices".

I look forward to sharing what I've learned over the last 4+ years working with DNN in corporate and noncorporate environments, I've worked on some of the largest DNN implementations out there and hope to be able to share some of my experiences with those projects.

Being selected to present at the first DotNetNuke conference is a great honor. ...

If you're anything like me, you've been greatly looking forward to Visual Studio Orcas, with its enhanced support for JavaScript.  You might also not know that some of that functionality is available to us currently in Visual Studio 2005.  It's not exactly easy to setup and use, but once you get it going, it can really help out when you're trying to figure out why, for example, all elements on your page suddenly disappear, only in IE.

Using this Knowledge Base article as a starting point, http://support.microsoft.com/kb/816173, I was able to get up, running, and debugging.  The first step is to enable debugging from Internet Explorer, by unchecking the "Disable Script Debugging (Internet Explorer)" box in IE's Advanced Options.  Then, in order to actually set a breakpoint and step into y ...

Working on web sites, I've come across the need, more and more, to be using JavaScript to make an application run more smoothly.  Unfortunately, I have absolutely no training in JavaScript, which means most of what I write does the job, but misses a number of the essentials.  Fortunately, there is hope.  If you, like me, didn't know that JavaScript objects are dictionaries, or that JavaScript inheritance is between objects, not classes, you should check out Ray Djajadinata's article for MSDN Magazine, Create Ad ...

Last week we were able to release the long awaited new release of Engage: Publish with all new bells and whistles.

Engage: Publish is an article management system / workflow engine for your DotNetNuke portal. It provides advanced content management capabilities with workflow - approval, content categorization and related articles. 

With Engage: Publish you’ll never have to worry about clicking the update button in DotNetNuke.  Your content history is safe and sound.  Plus, if you have multiple authors of content, you’ll be secure knowing that the content created by your authors will not be “live” until an administrator approves.  All this plus several different ways ...
