Will Strohl's Blog

I have decided that I want to expose more of my favorite hobby here in my blog... Photography. (Get it?) I just love taking pictures and capturing moments that cannot be duplicated.

The San Diego Chargers have been waiting MANY years to get a post season win in the NFL. They made that goal a reality today...

I have been using the minimum DotNetNuke® version feature in my modules for some time now. It is a great feature in your DNN manifest file that prevents your modules from being installed on unsupported versions. However, when I upgraded from v4.05.03, it didn't work anymore.

Woo hoo! The very first Orlando DotNetNuke Users Group is about to occur. I cannot wait! I have high hopes for this users group. Especially due to the great examples of other user groups in the area.

Believe it or not, there are quite a few people out there running on versions of DotNetNuke, and haven't upgraded in quite a long time.  This could happen for any number of reasons.  But it's important to know that upgrading is not always as easy as just dowloading and upgrading to the most recent version.  Due to feature inclusion/exclusion, database schema changes, and more, there may be stops you have to make in the upgrade process.

The DotNetNuke (DNN) CMS has a great Blog Module that allows you to have your very own blog on your web site. That's no secret. However, some people do not blog chronologically and/or update their blogs - in turn changing the publish date. Well, the current version doesn't allow you to change that date manually. Here is how you can....

I haven't tried it yet, but I found a tool that is supposed to make the module creation process easier. This is thanks to a Blog by Jon Henning.

I recently had to update one of my DotNetNuke (DNN) sites from version 4.05.03 to 4.06.02. I chose to do this to take advantage of the new SSL support. However, upgrading for me was not as straight forward as it normally is.

For those of you that are familiar with DotNetNuke (DNN), you know that although it is not a "slow" application, it has its moments. Also, ANY application can benefit from performance enhancements. I just sent a few to the DotNetNuke team.

First of all, happy holidays to everyone that celebrates something this time of year. :) I have been hand-coding quite a few XML schema files (XSD) recently. Writing it is easy enough, but I just ran into what seemed like a very thing to write - that is until I actually begun to write it.
