The DNN 4.3.1 Patch set is out - Installed cleanly, fixes cacheing for the documents module, but still an issue with filtering by column (there is a work around).

I installed DNN 4.03 on a dev box and was excited to see the new Documents module.
But there appears to be some bugs!
I installed the DNN 4.03 from Source, but did not run visual studio to do a build, this could be the issue. Off to try the install the package....

The following steps should be enough to move your application locally from a host, before database backups became a pain!
1) copy all of your application files and folders from the host to a local directory, for example to c:\backupsites\ws\30apr06
2) Create an IIS entry for a new web application and point it to your directory created in step 1 - for example, localhost\ws30apr06
3) ensure the appropriate ASPNET application has security rights to the directory created in 1
4) backup your production database and restore it locally
5) Create a local user to access the local database
6) Change the web.config file to point to the new local database
7) Change the portalalias table entry in your local db for your main site to localhost\ws30apr06
8) call up the site created in step 2 localhost\ws30apr06 in a browser and cross your fingers

I have been using DNN 3.1 with SQL 2000 for a while. With different sites on discountasp.net and webhost4life. I have started to use DNN 4.02 and 4.03 and they are running fine with sql 2005.
It has been easy to back up these sites locally and install them locally for archive and to refresh a development environment for SQL 2000.
Well, with SQL 2005 this has not been that easy, there have been other posts on this...
webhost4life supports a simple backup command that creates a BAK file that can be FT'ed and restored. Great!
But discountasp.net does not and the permissions on the site do not allow Management Studio to do a backup. Instead you have to script the DB objects and move the script locally to create the objects and THEN export the table data from the production system to the newly scripted local DB.
A bit of a pain and it has not worked for me yet!!! The local application starts up ok - but none of the module content or sub pages are shown. Instead the user is always...

Transferring SQL 2005 database (from another SQL 2k5 DB) is kinda a pain in the butt the way accounts are set-up on discountasp.net . For those of you whose familiar w/ SQL 2000, you would expect that SQL Import / Export wizard in SQL 2k5 will do the job. BUT that's not the case.SQL 2k5's Import/Export wizard do not transfer all database objects, it will only transfer Table, Views and data but not Stored Procs, UDF, relationships, etc.transferring with SSManagement Studio1) Log into the SQL Server where the source database resides with SQL Management Studio2) Right-Click on the database, Select Tasks, and Select Generate Scripts. The Script Wizard will pop up.3) Highlight the database your want to transfer in the next screen. Click Next button4) Choose Script Options Box will appear - Leave Defaults and change “Generate Script for Dependent Objects” = TRUE "Script Collation"= TRUE"Script USE DATABASE" = TRUENOTE *** if you have full text indexes in your database, change"Script Full-Text Indexes" = TRUE Click...

As usual, Dave Burke's Blog comes through! He has a post to Thom Robbins announcement about code camp 5 coming this May in Boston.
Two days of geeking out, sharing cool tips and techniques with MS developers. It should be good with some real world experiences with the RTM bits from the 2.0 Framework.
Some extra incentive to get the version 2.0 site of the PGC golf leauge released using www.telerik controls, DNN 4.x and ASP.NET 2.0.
Sweet indeed.

The DNN Module template for V4 is pretty sweet.Shaun Walker's post, http://forums.asp.net/1114393/ShowPost.aspx has 3 sections so far, describing the Starter Kit for the whole site, the module template and some background on the new module/file layout for ASP.NET 2.0.Creating DNN sites, and modules is getting nice and easy.That is good, since the nw features of ASP.NET and SQL server 2005 will keep us busy!I started playing with the Gridview component and was confused on how to bind it into DNN. It can bind to SQL Adapters or Objects. But what about the DNN DAL ? I found that I could just bind the datasource in the code behind the old fashioned way. But hooking it up to an object sure sounds interesting! Michael Washington has a sample, and a tutorial coming, http://adefwebserver.com/dotnetnuke/DotNetNuke/DNN4GuestBook/tabid/199/Default.aspxI was a bit...

Strange behavior with DNN 4 and VS 2005.
I have added a page called TEST and when building and running the site from VS 2005 the TEST page is not shown, just the default HOME page.
When hitting the HOME menu page, the TEST page appears...
Does this have something to do with an IIS setting or from the internal Web Server in VS 2005?
