Hello,

I am pleased to announce that Issue 54 of DNN Creative Magazine has been released.

It has been a while since I have posted an issue release into the forum, so I will also add in here the tutorials that I have not mentioned from the previous 3 issues as well.

Issue 54 - DotNetNuke Feedback, DataSprings Dynamic Registration, OWS Login and Twitter, RAD

In this issue we begin by demonstrating how to use and configure the DotNetNuke Feedback module. The feedback module allows the visitors of your website to send you feedback from a form in your DotNetNuke portal. We show you various options for configuring this module, including how to set it up so that a user can choose which department in a company to send feedback to and also how to allow users to submit testimonials and display those testimonials on your website.

Following this we cover the much anticipated part 2 of DataSprings Dynamic Registration module quick start guide. This tutorial demonstrates how to build more complex registration forms and interlink several registration forms together. This tutorial will enable you to create your own flexible custom registration forms to suit your own requirements.

Next, we continue the Open Web Studio tutorials, this month we enhance the OWS Login module that we have previously created by adding a "Remember Me" checkbox and a "Forgot Password" link. We also demonstrate how to create a Twitter module which pulls the search results from Twitter directly into an Open Web Studio module.

To finish, we have part four of the "How to Build a News Application with DotNetMushroom Rapid Application Developer (RAD)" article, where we demonstrate how to use Language Resource Files in the News application.

This issue comes complete with 15 videos.

Issue 53 - DotNetNuke Module Administration, DataSprings Dynamic Registration, File Action OWS, Localization with RAD

In this issue we focus on Module Administration, in particular configuring how to limit which modules are available to use in the control panel (Premium Modules), how to configure which modules non-administrators can add to a page, and also working with the DotNetNuke Recycle bin. Each of these elements are important to ensure your website administrators get the most from their DotNetNuke portals.

Following this we provide part one of a quick start guide to using DataSprings Dynamic Registration module. This is a very powerful module which enables you to quickly create a custom registration form without the need for editing the DotNetNuke core code. Most users require a customized registration process for their visitors and this module allows you to achieve this easily, we walk you through a custom registration form which demonstrates a selection of the registration options available.

Next we continue the Open Web Studio tutorials, this month we demonstrate working with File Action in your OWS configurations. File Action provides many possibilities for working with files in your website, including: How to edit a file on your website, how to upload a file to your website and how to import an Excel or CSV file into a table within your SQL database.

To finish, we have part three of the "How to Build a News Application with DotNetMushroom Rapid Application Developer (RAD)" article, where we demonstrate how to implement Multi-Language functionality in the News application.
