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.Ismet DumlupinarMon, 02 Feb 2009 09:04:00 GMTf1397696-738c-4295-afcd-943feb885714:311http://www.mynetnuke.com/Blog/tabid/525/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/311/What-Happened-Recently.aspxhttp://www.mynetnuke.com/Blog/tabid/525/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/310/How-to-Upgrade-Existing-Installations-to-DotNetNuke-5-Release.aspx#Comments0http://www.mynetnuke.com/DesktopModules/DnnForge%20-%20NewsArticles/RssComments.aspx?TabID=525&ModuleID=1091&ArticleID=310http://www.mynetnuke.com/DesktopModules/DnnForge%20-%20NewsArticles/Tracking/Trackback.aspx?ArticleID=310&PortalID=28&TabID=525http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/mynetnuke/~3/BuRPGKaC71k/How-to-Upgrade-Existing-Installations-to-DotNetNuke-5-Release.aspxPreviously, i have talked about how to install DotNetNuke 5.0 to your hosting account. 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 DumlupinarSun, 25 Jan 2009 20:27:00 GMTf1397696-738c-4295-afcd-943feb885714:310http://www.mynetnuke.com/Blog/tabid/525/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/310/How-to-Upgrade-Existing-Installations-to-DotNetNuke-5-Release.aspxhttp://www.mynetnuke.com/Blog/tabid/525/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/309/How-to-Install-DotNetNuke-50-to-Godaddy-Root-Path.aspx#Comments0http://www.mynetnuke.com/DesktopModules/DnnForge%20-%20NewsArticles/RssComments.aspx?TabID=525&ModuleID=1091&ArticleID=309http://www.mynetnuke.com/DesktopModules/DnnForge%20-%20NewsArticles/Tracking/Trackback.aspx?ArticleID=309&PortalID=28&TabID=525http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/mynetnuke/~3/yuMpMYfiTHk/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.Ismet DumlupinarSun, 25 Jan 2009 20:21:00 GMTf1397696-738c-4295-afcd-943feb885714:309http://www.mynetnuke.com/Blog/tabid/525/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/309/How-to-Install-DotNetNuke-50-to-Godaddy-Root-Path.aspxhttp://www.mynetnuke.com/Blog/tabid/525/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/308/How-to-Use-Telerik-RadEditor-with-DotNetNuke-500-Release.aspx#Comments5http://www.mynetnuke.com/DesktopModules/DnnForge%20-%20NewsArticles/RssComments.aspx?TabID=525&ModuleID=1091&ArticleID=308http://www.mynetnuke.com/DesktopModules/DnnForge%20-%20NewsArticles/Tracking/Trackback.aspx?ArticleID=308&PortalID=28&TabID=525http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/mynetnuke/~3/nhf6vTFT73I/How-to-Use-Telerik-RadEditor-with-DotNetNuke-500-Release.aspxNOTE: Telerik DNN Modules currently does not work with DotNetNuke 5.0.0 release when you try to install Telerik.DNN.Modules_2008_3_1125_trial.zip file from Host  > Module Definitions page. 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.Ismet DumlupinarMon, 29 Dec 2008 16:33:00 GMTf1397696-738c-4295-afcd-943feb885714:306http://www.mynetnuke.com/Blog/tabid/525/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/306/How-to-Backup-DotNetNuke-via-Hosting-Control-Center.aspxhttp://www.mynetnuke.com/Blog/tabid/525/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/302/Can-I-Install-a-DotNetNuke-in-my-Root-Folder.aspx#Comments2http://www.mynetnuke.com/DesktopModules/DnnForge%20-%20NewsArticles/RssComments.aspx?TabID=525&ModuleID=1091&ArticleID=302http://www.mynetnuke.com/DesktopModules/DnnForge%20-%20NewsArticles/Tracking/Trackback.aspx?ArticleID=302&PortalID=28&TabID=525http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/mynetnuke/~3/p8LoeVwqe4M/Can-I-Install-a-DotNetNuke-in-my-Root-Folder.aspxYes, you can install DotNetNuke 4.9 release to your hosting account root path (if hosted with Godaddy, maybe even with all shared hosting providers) with reading following tutorial.

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://feedproxy.google.com/~r/mynetnuke/~3/k0S1pFiaGw8/Get-Latest-Release-of-DotNetNuke.aspxDotNetNuke 4.9 release fixes several security issues.

Here is the scenario. Install a DotNetNuke 4.8.2, Upgrade it to DotNetNuke 4.8.4 Then create a child portal and use an alias like childportal After creating child portal, login to that portal as childportal admin account and create some pages with content. Now try to logout, and login with host account, try to logout and login with childportal admin account this time. If you follow the URL's in address bar, you will notice that while logging in or loggin out, childportal alias not being displayed. I will present the problem via images or a video later.Ismet DumlupinarSun, 22 Jun 2008 22:34:00 GMTf1397696-738c-4295-afcd-943feb885714:292http://www.mynetnuke.com/Blog/tabid/525/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/292/Portal-Alias-Disappears-after-Log-Out.aspxhttp://www.mynetnuke.com/Blog/tabid/525/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/291/DotNetNuke-484-Fixes-3-Low-Security-Issues.aspx#Comments0http://www.mynetnuke.com/DesktopModules/DnnForge%20-%20NewsArticles/RssComments.aspx?TabID=525&ModuleID=1091&ArticleID=291http://www.mynetnuke.com/DesktopModules/DnnForge%20-%20NewsArticles/Tracking/Trackback.aspx?ArticleID=291&PortalID=28&TabID=525http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/mynetnuke/~3/jjHJ6enQEMM/DotNetNuke-484-Fixes-3-Low-Security-Issues.aspxDotNetNuke 4.8.4 has been released which fixes 3 low 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://feedproxy.google.com/~r/mynetnuke/~3/4W1TgabxKiI/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://feedproxy.google.com/~r/mynetnuke/~3/tEWs0GjAAQQ/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://feedproxy.google.com/~r/mynetnuke/~3/yVY4_cOBsWI/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. You will notice spakinz's comment on blog post and DotNetNuke team refreshed download packages after this report.Ismet DumlupinarSun, 02 Mar 2008 20:06:00 GMTf1397696-738c-4295-afcd-943feb885714:280http://www.mynetnuke.com/Blog/tabid/525/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/280/DotNetNuke-481-Released.aspxhttp://www.mynetnuke.com/Blog/tabid/525/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/279/Kodhedz-DotNetNuke-Firesale-Event-Scheduled-Today.aspx#Comments0http://www.mynetnuke.com/DesktopModules/DnnForge%20-%20NewsArticles/RssComments.aspx?TabID=525&ModuleID=1091&ArticleID=279http://www.mynetnuke.com/DesktopModules/DnnForge%20-%20NewsArticles/Tracking/Trackback.aspx?ArticleID=279&PortalID=28&TabID=525http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/mynetnuke/~3/ZRidHD63IyU/Kodhedz-DotNetNuke-Firesale-Event-Scheduled-Today.aspxKODHEDZ DOTNETNUKE FIRESALE EVENT I just noticed that Kodhedz running a firesale event today.
