Today, it has come to my attention that some site is offering downloads of some of my modules, and stating nowhere that they are mine. Also, several other modules by other vendors are offered for download.

I really don't understand such behaviour. Some people seem to thing that if something is free, that that is equal to being able to do anything they like with it. Needless to say, i sent them a mail requesting to remove the content.

[Update February 3 2007]At this moment, the downloads have been...

Last saturday, a few European Core Team members and Project Team Leads were together for an informal get together, where we had a great opportunity to get to know eachother. We even managed to talk about other things than DNN.

The meeting was the idea of Charles Nurse, on vacation in the UK, it was decided that the meeting would be in Amsterdam. Sebastian Leupold published some pictures of the event here: http://www.deutschnetnuke.de/tabid/182/Default.aspx

It's been a while since I blogged, and as usual I have the usual excuse: busy busy busy busy....

Let me do a short recap of everything that  happened in the last few months:

I became project team lead of the Announcement Module (check out info on that on the DNN Announcements Project Page) I've been on vacation in Italy and Croatia. In Italy me and Mieke, my girlfriend, enjoyed watching the opera Aida in the Arena of Verona. In Croatia we rented a sailboat with Miekes 2 sisters and their boyfriends...

Monday May 16 and Tuesday May 17 I attended the SDC in Papendal, Netherlands, as a speaker in the DotNetNuke Track. My session was about creating hybrid module/skin objects. I showed how to make a module that can also be used as a skin object. I will post the original code soon (i have to rename it, because i found out just a day before SDC that there is already another skinobject with the same name), and will add some extra features as well in the near future.

I'm very pleased i got a chance to meet Shaun Walker, Vicenç Masanas, Sebastian Leupold. There were 10 sessions about DNN in 2 days, 3 by Shaun, 3 by Vicenç, 2 by Ernst Peter Tamminga, 1 by Peter Schotman and 1 by me. We had a room with 32 seats to our disposal, some sessions where full house, others a bit less. One of the sessions of Vicenç turned into a discussion on Content Localization in the DNN Core application so that was very usefull.

I thought I'd write up a small tutorial about how to use the Apollo PageLocalization Module, as this module has proved to be somewhat difficult to manage for site administrators new to dynamic localization

Oh well, administering your site is not always easy. I was setting up a new domain on my server, making use of plesk. The site that had to run on the new domain i developed on my dev server, so it was just a matter of uploading the db, uploading the files, fixing web.config, and fixing the portal aliases..... however, what i did was, inadvertedly, change the web.config of my own site to look at the db of the new site.

 

Funny enough this didnt work at all, and i didn't know i did that until some...

After a few days of thorough testing, i released version 2.0 of MLLanguageSelector yesterday. Yesterday evening i had a last strugle with a nasty bug. One final test revealed that when logged on as administrator, the dropdown menu did not work anymore.

 

I still haven't found out what was the cause of that error, but i removed some code i put in to notify administrators about the fact that some languages are mapped (only if language mapping was active). Somehow this code interfered with the menu,...
