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 DumlupinarMon, 15 Sep 2008 11:56:00 GMTf1397696-738c-4295-afcd-943feb885714:301http://www.mynetnuke.com/Blog/tabid/525/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/301/DotNetNuke-Documents-Module-Has-New-Team-Member.aspxhttp://www.mynetnuke.com/Blog/tabid/525/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/300/Get-Latest-Release-of-DotNetNuke.aspx#Comments1http://www.mynetnuke.com/DesktopModules/DnnForge%20-%20NewsArticles/RssComments.aspx?TabID=525&ModuleID=1091&ArticleID=300http://www.mynetnuke.com/DesktopModules/DnnForge%20-%20NewsArticles/Tracking/Trackback.aspx?ArticleID=300&PortalID=28&TabID=525http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/mynetnuke/~3/391707214/Get-Latest-Release-of-DotNetNuke.aspxDotNetNuke 4.9 release fixes several security issues.

I don't like them at all, but they provide good options for low price, such as: Great Disk Space/Bandwith Good Control Panels, once you use it, you will get used to use it With some effort you can run multiple websites with your own unique domains under same hosting account. These are basic features and option 3 is best one i like. However it has disadvantages as well. If you are planning to host multiple websites under same hosting account to save money, please be aware of shared database issue. Although Godaddy provides huge disk space and bandwith, they don't give customers enough database size to host big-sized websites. This does not mean, you can't host small-business websites under same account. If you plan to create multiple websites that can share a database size up to 200 megabytes, then please consider using DotNetNuke. I am also using this method to save bucks, this blog (www.mynetnuke.com) is actually a sub-portal of www.mikroproje.com. I also have many clients that hosts multiple sites under same account. I'm not going to clearly publish their names here, but i can say that one of my clients hosting following sites under one account: French restaurant website Advocate & Law for Canadian people Furniture & Decoration portal Basically all three sites are sharing same database, but users, pages, designs and locales can be different. This is a greate feature for those, who cannot afford to pay a large amount per month.Ismet DumlupinarMon, 02 Jun 2008 20:25:00 GMTf1397696-738c-4295-afcd-943feb885714:288http://www.mynetnuke.com/Blog/tabid/525/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/288/New-Tutorials-Great-Features-Coming-Soon.aspxhttp://www.mynetnuke.com/Blog/tabid/525/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/287/DotNetNuke-483-Security-Release-Published.aspx#Comments0http://www.mynetnuke.com/DesktopModules/DnnForge%20-%20NewsArticles/RssComments.aspx?TabID=525&ModuleID=1091&ArticleID=287http://www.mynetnuke.com/DesktopModules/DnnForge%20-%20NewsArticles/Tracking/Trackback.aspx?ArticleID=287&PortalID=28&TabID=525http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/mynetnuke/~3/303208485/DotNetNuke-483-Security-Release-Published.aspxAs many of you noticed, DotNetNuke 4.8.3 release (a.k.a Security Release) published last week. What does Security Release mean? From title, you may think that previous releases were not secure. Yes, you are right. After checking various topics on DotNetNuke forums and some other discussion platforms, i also realized  that something was going on with security issues. Finally, the problem mentioned on public places and topic became an offical problem. See following blog posts: DotNetNuke Security Notice Security Lessons Learned DotNetNuke Security Update What i can suggest is, immediately upgrade your DotNetNuke portals to latest available secure release (which is currently DotNetNuke 4.8.3) I would like you to follow Security Bulletins as well.Ismet DumlupinarMon, 02 Jun 2008 20:09:00 GMTf1397696-738c-4295-afcd-943feb885714:287http://www.mynetnuke.com/Blog/tabid/525/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/287/DotNetNuke-483-Security-Release-Published.aspxhttp://www.mynetnuke.com/Blog/tabid/525/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/286/How-to-Upgrade-to-DotNetNuke-482.aspx#Comments0http://www.mynetnuke.com/DesktopModules/DnnForge%20-%20NewsArticles/RssComments.aspx?TabID=525&ModuleID=1091&ArticleID=286http://www.mynetnuke.com/DesktopModules/DnnForge%20-%20NewsArticles/Tracking/Trackback.aspx?ArticleID=286&PortalID=28&TabID=525http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/mynetnuke/~3/260874970/How-to-Upgrade-to-DotNetNuke-482.aspxHow to upgrade DotNetNuke In previous tutorials, i have mentioned about: How to Setup Godaddy Windows Hosting Account Install DotNetNuke via Hosting Connection How to Move DotNetNuke 4.8 to Root Path You may want to take advantage of latest version of DotNetNuke framework.

Godaddy currently provides three types of Windows Hosting accounts. Those are: Economy Hosting Deluxe Hosting Premium Hosting For a new DotNetNuke user, purchasing a Deluxe Hosting package would be a good start. Some users asking about why not Economy Hosting package? Because, you may encounter issues with MS Ajax under Economy hosting package. Also it does not let you host multiple websites under a single windows hosting account. Remember that our goal is; Hosting DotNetNuke at root level Hosting Multiple Websites using single DotNetNuke Instance Ismet DumlupinarSat, 08 Mar 2008 20:59:00 GMTf1397696-738c-4295-afcd-943feb885714:282http://www.mynetnuke.com/Blog/tabid/525/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/282/How-to-Setup-Godaddy-Windows-Hosting-Account.aspxhttp://www.mynetnuke.com/Blog/tabid/525/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/280/DotNetNuke-481-Released.aspx#Comments0http://www.mynetnuke.com/DesktopModules/DnnForge%20-%20NewsArticles/RssComments.aspx?TabID=525&ModuleID=1091&ArticleID=280http://www.mynetnuke.com/DesktopModules/DnnForge%20-%20NewsArticles/Tracking/Trackback.aspx?ArticleID=280&PortalID=28&TabID=525http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/mynetnuke/~3/244484043/DotNetNuke-481-Released.aspxDotNetNuke 4.8.1 finally released. Some of you might remember; i have blogged about major bugs that prevents Turkish users to use DotNetNuke succesfully. I checked Change Log and luckly some of them seems fixed. However, i couldn't test DotNetNuke 4.8.1 release yet. I'm assuming this will be final release before DotNetNuke 5.0, maybe another release (DotNetNuke 4.8.2) comes first. Chris Hammond published list of bug fixes in a blog post. You can view details by clicking following link: DotNetNuke 4.8.1 What's New and What is Fixed? As an active user of DotNetNuke, i strongly recommend taking backups before making a production site upgrade. Also, it's one of the best practises to wait a few days (maybe a week) before switching on new release. I'm going to upgrade my DotNetNuke Tutorials for Godaddy users in upcoming weeks. I think, not much thing changed since DotNetNuke 4.8 but, Godaddy has new features for their customers which means i should mention how to use them to get maximum benefit. Please visit http://www.dotnetnuke.com/tabid/125/default.aspx to download latest release of DotNetNuke. P.S: Some users have reported an issue regarding MSSQL Server 2000 database.

And last night one of portal users reported that he cannot post a new topic to forums. I investigated issue and finally understand why all users are replying via quick reply to existing topics instead of creating a new topic. It was a template or HTML editor problem. Actually Post New Topic, or Post a Reply  templates are corrupted. Finally i decided to send a support ticket to Active Modules team. Here is a short summary of what happened. I am experiencing issues with Active Forum 3.7 release. To simulate the issue; 1) Install DNN 4.8 If you experience issues with Turkish locale for DNN 4.8 you can check following blog post and apply the fix; http://www.mynetnuke.com/Blog/tabid/525/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/271/How-to-Fix-GetOrdinals-Exception.aspx 2) Install Active Forums 3.7 (latest) 3) Add Forum module to a page; 4) Go to Forum Control Panel and add a forum group (e.g Main Forum Group) via Forum Groups. Ensure that Allow HTML checkbox is signed and select Default DNN Editor or Active Editor from dropdown list. 5) Click on Forums and add a forum (e.g Test Forum, ensure that it inherits settings from main forum group) 6) Go to Forum as a normal user, or as a admin & host user, You will notice that, you wont be able to enter your post into Body area, because it is empty. This problem does not happening if you select TextBox from #4 7) If user submits a reply via Quick Reply moderator cannot see Body area, after he clicks on Moderate button. Other fields are ok. Please help me to get this sorted out. Thanks. Final Notes: I thing this bug is happening to Arabic and Azeri clients as well, i hope it gets solved in a short while.Ismet DumlupinarSun, 30 Dec 2007 11:59:00 GMTf1397696-738c-4295-afcd-943feb885714:273http://www.mynetnuke.com/Blog/tabid/525/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/273/Active-Forums-37-Bug.aspxhttp://www.mynetnuke.com/Blog/tabid/525/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/271/How-to-Fix-GetOrdinals-Exception.aspx#Comments5http://www.mynetnuke.com/DesktopModules/DnnForge%20-%20NewsArticles/RssComments.aspx?TabID=525&ModuleID=1091&ArticleID=271http://www.mynetnuke.com/DesktopModules/DnnForge%20-%20NewsArticles/Tracking/Trackback.aspx?ArticleID=271&PortalID=28&TabID=525http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/mynetnuke/~3/208094652/How-to-Fix-GetOrdinals-Exception.aspxDotNetNuke 4.8 looks like does not work as expected after applying Turkish Locale. I'm pretty sure this happens with Azeri and other countries that use special characters in locales. While searching how to fix this error, i reported issue at DotNetNuke Support Tracker. The bug report source: http://support.dotnetnuke.com/issue/ViewIssue.aspx?id=6896&PROJID=23 I also posted a notification post for Turkish Community saying "never install dnn 4.8 on a live site before it gets fixed".

After succesful installation wait for a while and you will end up seeing following error in Admin > Event Viewer. To fix this problem i made some research and found a discussion at following topic. According to John's post, this error happens because of Media module is trying to upgrade itself from a previous version of Image module. However DNN 4.8 Installation package does not contain old Image module. Source: www.dotnetnuke.com/Community/Forums/tabid/795/forumid/42/threadid/134732/scope/posts/Default.aspx To gain more info, i opened up EventQueue table in my database by connecting to MSSQL Server 2005 via Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio and noticed that one of the Application_Start event has IsComplete flag set to false. In my environment it has 14 as EventMessageID. I simply set IsComplete flag for this entry to true. Then saved my changes. It has been 2 hours since this last change and it seems like error gone :) I also reported this issue to Gemini for permanent solution. http://support.dotnetnuke.com/issue/ViewIssue.aspx?id=6916&PROJID=23Ismet DumlupinarSat, 29 Dec 2007 12:51:00 GMTf1397696-738c-4295-afcd-943feb885714:270http://www.mynetnuke.com/Blog/tabid/525/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/270/How-to-Fix-EventQueueProcessMessage-Message-Processing-Failed.aspxhttp://www.mynetnuke.com/Blog/tabid/525/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/269/How-to-Fix-SystemCollectionsGenericDictionary2Insert-Error.aspx#Comments0http://www.mynetnuke.com/DesktopModules/DnnForge%20-%20NewsArticles/RssComments.aspx?TabID=525&ModuleID=1091&ArticleID=269http://www.mynetnuke.com/DesktopModules/DnnForge%20-%20NewsArticles/Tracking/Trackback.aspx?ArticleID=269&PortalID=28&TabID=525http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/mynetnuke/~3/358694128/How-to-Fix-SystemCollectionsGenericDictionary2Insert-Error.aspxWhile playing with DotNetNuke 4.8 release locally i noticed that some issues from previous versions still remain unresolved.
