DNN Articles

In an earlier post I discussed how to create and manually install a DotNetNuke scheduled job, this post explores the API's necessary to programmatically install your task.

DotNetNuke provides a robust framework allowing developers to create their own custom jobs to be executed on a recurring basis. This post explores that process.

Website owners have a responsibility to keep their user's information secure, this includes passwords. Simple configuration changes exist for DNN based websites to better secure passwords.

Often times we encounter websites that utilize unnecessary resources, a few simple tasks can help to limit unnecessary usage and help reduce your costs.

As with any Open Source project, DotNetNuke goes through some troubling growing pains that can impact users, but there are things that we can do to limit the pain.

The DotNetNuke Object Qualifier was initially designed to allow multiple DotNetNuke sites to be installed to a single database, however, in the modern world, this is a very evil practice.

Installing multiple DotNetNuke extensions at the same time can be tedious and result in unexpected downtime. Thankfully there is an easy way to install multiple extensions at once.

Performance issues with DotNetNuke extensions can be almost impossible to diagnose due to the dynamic nature of the DNN architecture. Thankfully, with tools such as ANTS Profiler, we can isolate activity to report on individual module performance.

It can be baffling how to create a link within DNN to a specific page with extra parameters but omitting a specific control.
