Custom Module Created

By jbonnie on Friday, July 15, 2005 7:00:00 AM

The Dotnetnuke version of the Reuters Pigeon Golf Club web site has been launched!! It was quite an experience going through the entire process. Deploying the module took significant effort. A number of problems were encountered with getting the table definitions and stored procedures uploaded. Some characters, particulary some embedded strings and + signs. I wound up rewriting the SPROCS to remove them to get around the problem.

Some additional issues were encountered with skins on a sub portal. The header bar on some enbedded controls use the default skin, where the rest of the portal was changed to use a different skin. Very Strange!!

Check out the PGC site at www.walkspoiled.com/pgc

Enhancements will continue to be made, and once stable I will post the module for others to use for their Match Play Golf Leauges if there is interest.

I owe a debt of gratitude for the many DNN users who have posted their experiences and helped me get as far as I have so far.

About Me

Thanks for stopping by. My name is Jim Bonnie and I have been writing software for over 20 years. After building financial data systems for Reuters for nearly 18 years I have started doing contract work and am excited about technology and currently focus on Microsoft solutions. DotNetNuke has helped provide a good introduction to ASP.NET web application development, and I am now starting to branch out into other areas. Data Access techniques and SubSonic is something that I am looking into now. This has helped me get an invitation to speak at Las Vegas at DNN Open Force 07. it was a great time.

Reading the codebetter blogs and attending a nothing but .net training class with JP Boodhoo helped spark my interest in ALT.NET. I attended the first conference in Austin Texas, and it was amazing to see Scott Guthrie introduce the ASP.NET MVC framework.
