I think users should really ask module developers for specifics. In many times, I would send the software company a list of my specific requirements and ask them to reply to each requirement and tell me where in the software it can be done. This is much more productive than me going through the whole product and reading the manual. It's not uncommon a user would miss the functionality thinking it's not supported. A feature could be implemented in an indirect way or it's achieved by going several steps instead of an easy discoverable method.

Hi Mike,

I've been playing with your demo of DigArticles and, actually, I think it covers News Articles pretty well - nice! This is the best replacement I've seen yet.

We're using NA all over our site and are pretty locked in, but, with the vNext thing coming down the road, my guess is that we'll want to move at that point. Do you know if you plan to rebuilt the UI for MVC support?

Thanks,

Mike

Hi Mike,

I'm glad you like DigArticle.  As far as MVC it's hard to say.  We tend to follow what DNN is doing, not so much Microsoft.  I'm not sure what the benefit would be to rewrite it in MVC.  To get real performance gains, I would think all of DNN would need to be MVC and WebForms would need to be cut out completely  The DigArticle front-end is served by our template engine which is pretty fast.  Besides MVC is dead :)

Thanks
Mike

Thanks Mike... Yeah, I more meant DNN vNext, which will switch to ASP.NET 5 and not support WebForms modules. We're in this funny period where things are OK for now, but we don't want to make any huge changes until we know how things will be working in DNN down the road. As you might imagine, we're reluctant to make a major change in our content structures and then, in a year, have to do it again because of a major change in the DNN platform. Obviously that depends on how long we're comfortable staying on the 7.x line... so, who knows.

By the way - do you have a list of all the available tokens? I was having trouble figuring out how to do related users.

Thanks,

Mike

Mike,
DNN 8 (the new name for 7.5, see http://www.dnnsoftware.com/community-...) will for sure be around for a couple of years and I expect even features being added, while DNN neXt is built and matures, becoming a full featured successor of current DNN. A lot of extensions need to be re-created and re-designed, but this will be the chance for a modern, up2date platform to build your new solutions on and from some point to migrate existing sites (usually as part of a major overhaul).

Cheers from Germany,
Sebastian Leupold
