Will, thanks for this blog post. We were just talking about our need to "standardize" messages in our new miGhty LMS module. We may try to get this rolled in prior to the launch on December 24th (yes, in honor of the original DotNetNuke launch)! ;-)

Will, just finished updating our module with all these message styles. Great exercise - thanks again for the tips!

When I listen to this song, I can't help but to think of dad (my hero past) and my brother (my hero present). They served OUR COUNTRY well in the Army and Navy. For that I am grateful!

The freedom we enjoy today is a platform for great things! Let's not take that for granted. I encourage everyone to use your God given talents for the good of not only this great country, but the world. To him who much is given, much is required!

Ansel, I am honored to have worked with you on this song. I hope it has a lasting and powerful positive effect on many! OUR COUNTRY needs a great song like this to inspire us once again to stand on our core values. This is OUR COUNTRY and I join you in seeing the best in it!

I grew up at the dirt track. Nearly every Friday night, we'd pack up a cooler and head up to the Metrolina Speedway in Charlotte, NC. Guys like Freddy Smith and Dale Earnhardt would just go for it. Man it's hard to beat racing like that! This song truly captures all the excitement of dirt racing and really gets you pumped up for racing! Every true dirt racing fan should pick up a copy of this song - it's a must have!

Mitch, perhaps it is because I am using Chris' v2.5 templates and VS2013, but I can't even get the project created unless the full dev environment is setup. Recommendations?

Re: Enterprise Extension Development with DNN Part Two > Mitchel Sellers

David Poindexter — Mon, 25 Nov 2013 04:03:48 -0000

Mitch, I finally got the environment setup - had to follow Chris' letter of the law to the T in order for it to actually create a project so I could work with it. Otherwise, it just wouldn't create the project. So, now I'll try to strip everything (DNN) away from around the project and see if I can pick up with the Nuget package installs from there. Then I suppose all I really need to change at that point is the build output path.

Re: Enterprise Extension Development with DNN Part Two > Mitchel Sellers

David Poindexter — Mon, 25 Nov 2013 04:43:38 -0000

Mitch, it ended up being pretty easy after all. I was able to just copy the project folder (originally in DesktopModules) to a more preferred "disconnected" location. I then updated the Debug build output path to bin/ and installed the NuGet package. All worked well. However, when I changed the Release build output path, it did not work. I am assuming this is because some reference to the original path in the build scripts. Gonna call it a night and try to tackle it again tomorrow. Thanks.

Hey man - missed this presentation in CLT - very inspiring! I have been going through a similar experience (minus the actual heart attack warning for a doctor) and very much needed to lose weight. I have been gradually losing weight since December 2013 - 20 pounds so far. I have hit somewhat of a plateau, but am not losing heart. I know it will eventually start coming off again. Congrats on your progress to date!

Re: Using radCaptcha Via DotNetNuke Wrappers > Mitchel Sellers

David Poindexter — Tue, 20 May 2014 18:21:29 -0000

Mitchel, we have a few client sites on 6.2.9 that have been upgraded. However, they are still showing the old DNNCaptcha. How do we switch them to use RadCaptcha? Thanks!

Re: Using radCaptcha Via DotNetNuke Wrappers > Mitchel Sellers

David Poindexter — Tue, 20 May 2014 19:08:48 -0000

Thanks Mitchel. I am actually referring though to the user base DNN login/registration forms. For instance, look at https://www.umobile.edu/Hom... - you'll see the old DNNCaptcha there. We want to use RadCaptcha instead. Is it available in 6.2.9 and if so, what web.config / settings changes must be made. We do not want to make any core changes though. ;-)

Re: Using radCaptcha Via DotNetNuke Wrappers > Mitchel Sellers

David Poindexter — Wed, 21 May 2014 11:14:44 -0000

Thanks - that's what I was afraid of after looking through the core code. ;-( Do you know which version of DNN this changes? Here's the situation...we have a few 6.2.9 sites that are now getting zapped with a ton of bogus user registrations. My assumption is that some program has cracked DNNCaptcha and is just hammering these sites. We have one site (not the one mentioned above) that is getting a new user registration every 2-3 minutes. That's a lot of daily registrations! ;-(

Re: Using radCaptcha Via DotNetNuke Wrappers > Mitchel Sellers

David Poindexter — Wed, 21 May 2014 13:07:35 -0000

Hmmm, okay - may have to just bite the bullet then and modify the core. It seems simple enough, but I just hate maintaining customizations to the core. ;-)

Re: Multiple Registrations Coming To Your DNN Site?

David Poindexter — Fri, 23 May 2014 12:24:54 -0000

Patrick, thanks for posting this. Our clients have somehow been immune to this so far, but since last week several client sites have been hit and one our our company's sites have been hit really heavy (new user registrations every 2-3 minutes). We will try a few of your suggestions and see how it goes to thwart future attacks.

Re: Running DotNetNuke with .NET 4.0 > Mitchel Sellers

David Poindexter — Tue, 19 Aug 2014 18:36:58 -0000

Mitch, thanks man - we are always stumbling on little issues like this still to this day! ;-) We had a client just today that was still on an older version of DNN and thus an older version of the HTML Editor. They were still relying on selecting site pages when creating hyperlinks, thus resulting in LinkClink URLs. Because we upgraded their site to run on 4.0 it left a ton of the "runtimeVersionv2.0" preCondition settings, rendering their LinkClick URLs not handled property.

Mitchel, can you safely delete ALL users folders? If so, will they be automatically recreated for authorized users?

Re: DNN Spam Registrations & You! > Mitchel Sellers

David Poindexter — Mon, 01 Sep 2014 16:32:25 -0000

Thanks! By the way, I am going to have to research another way to bulk delete these users. Using Admin > User Accounts > "Delete Unauthorized Users" and "Remove Deleted Users" is not going too well. Not only is it super slow, it is not removing enough users per iteration. So this could easily turn into a multi-day effort just for this one site - has 52k+ bogus user accounts. Does "Bulk User Manager v3.3" work any better? If so, I'll gladly purchase and start using! ;-)

I had a little bit of trouble finding the "backlog of tasks" (just saw an empty card), but I would love to see if there is something I can help out with!

David Poindexter — Fri, 12 Sep 2014 14:22:20 -0000

Just a quick follow up to help you out Mitch - we have now purchased and used Bulk User Manager. It has truly been a live saver for us in dealing with all our client sites impacted by this.

Re: DNN Spam Registrations & You! > Mitchel Sellers

David Poindexter — Sat, 13 Sep 2014 23:24:40 -0000

While Bulk User Manager worked great to delete the users, it did not remove the user folders in a DNN 7.0.6 instance. So I am not sure if this is normal for the module or just something with this older version of DNN. So we found a nice little tool to remove all empty user directories (http://www.jonasjohn.de/red.... It worked great! Just don't use the default "Delete mode". By default the windows app deletes the user folders to the Recycle Bin and seems to have a memory leak/utilization issue which crashed our sever after about 53k folders deleted. Using the option to delete permanently worked beautifully. However, when re-syncing the files via File Manager, it re-created ALL of those files we just deleted - UGH! I am assuming this is an issue with DNN 7.0.6, so now we are going to try and upgrade this instance and try again!
