Newsletter 07/2006
Exciting changes in "Die Portalfabrik.".. New products, new Design, improved Services - these are the highlights that I'd like to introduce to get you on the track to our completely overhauled website. The last weeks have been more than exciting for us - at least from a more private perspective; our daughter is getting closer and closer to finishing her first year, moving into our new office property is finalized, a new mailserver is about to go live and of course - and that's where it starts getting exciting for you propably - the Core Team has released a new DotNetNuke™ version with loads of improved aspects and great new features.
DotNetNuke 3.3.2 and 4.3.2 released
While still only a RC2 release the new release has been greatly appreciated by the community. Great new features lile the new membership provider with its extendable profile properties and an improved localization mechansim make working with the new release extremely enjoyable.
Unfortunately the new release again introduces some braking changes that will lead many 3rd Party modules to break with this release - of course our pnc.Register module stopped working as well. But then this is propably where the fun begins. So what. |
MagicExcel released
Magic Excel is an excellent and easy way to show off data from any excel file on your DotNetNuke portal in templateable tabstrip view. It works as easy as uploading an excel file from within the modulesettings of the module and clicking on Update.All you have to do is prepare the excel file so it is readable by the MagicExcel module. Preparing is as easy as marking the cells that contain data and add a name for that area.
All templates are fully customizable and the best is, you can use one template for all excel sheets - even if the differ in their table structure. Make sure to read the Online Help to better understand templates...
MagicExcel is now available at Snowcovered for only € 19,-- |
All our modules will be undertaken a complete overhaul within the bext weeks...
- pnc: Register Has become sort of unnecessary, one could think. With the introduction of the membership model in 3.3.2 one has all the freedom (and more) that pnc.Register has offered. Anyways - we are still thinking that usabillity and user gui experiences offer room for improvements. Any ideas on the matter? Why not discuss them in our discussionforums?
- pnc: Login - same as above, although necessary changes are more minor
- pnc: Content becomes MagicContent and is now available again on our website. As part of a small contribution to the community, MagicContent will become the first MultiLanguage module that is being released as Open. Releasedate has been set to August, 1. The latest release, by the way, fixes a few minor image rendering problems and introduces - thanks to a community request - a setting to hide the newsletter tab
And the future ?
Do not think that we are running out of ideas, now in development are: MagicContacts - a module to maintain a list of personal or business contacts, alltogether with a photo and a dynamically loaded contact form for each member of the list. MagicLinks - a module to maintain a list of links. Links? I hear you asking - how fancy is that? Well, none of the links modules I came across did offer the ability to display links together with an image in a templateable view. And that's what MagicLinks does...
Did you know?
Creating and maintaining simple newsletters with MagicContent ist more than easy - this issue is as well PoweredBy: MagicContent. Don't believe me? Why not read this newsletter online and see your self?
For now, thanks a lot for your interest - see you at portalfabrik.net
Note that not everything has been translated on our website. For now we're trying to keep at least the modules stuff up to date in two languages.
