This version integrates with Ventrian News Article to allow you to publish News Article events to your profile feed and to output your public profiles to your Google Sitemap for indexing via Ifinity. See an example on this poker player profile or this blog article. The story event shows up on the homepage and on the profile feed.

You can see the PokerDIY site map in action here (http://www.pokerdiy.com/GoogleSiteMap.axd - note- please do not link to this or hit it too frequently as it places load on the server). This will allow your profiles to be indexed by Google more efficiently, especially if you have orphaned URLs.

Please raise any queries on the Smart-Thinker Forums.

The Smart-Thinker Wall module allows you to attach a Facebook-style Wall to a Group, Event, UserProfile or other entity. This allows users to collaborate, discuss or simply leave comments (It is not designed to replace the Forums module).This was a sponsored enhancement/project and is based loosely on the Facebook Wall design and is fully templatable/localisable so you can change the look and feel to match your site.

To see this module in action, have a look at my PokerDIY profile, this poker group, this poker event, or this custom entity, a live poker league. Feel free to log in and test the wall, but please bear in mind this is a live, working site, so leave sensible comments (the Wall is usually at the very bottom, under the other entity).

This module uses templates and tokens to display the Wall Posts, so you can define what content is shown as well as the layout. It integrates with the other Smart-Thinker modules (Groups/Events/UserProfile) so that you can define the security rights around who can see or post on a Wall. For example, if you add it to a UserProfile then you could chose to only allow your Friends to be able to post. If you add it against a Group then you could only allow Group Members to post on the Wall. On PokerDIY the Wall is actually quite simple and allows everyone to see and post (this is by design). You can also allow users to search on posts, as well as have a "threaded" conversation (where the top-level Wall Posts/Topics have replies. We wanted a simple Facebook-looking Wall on PokerDIY so we turned these off in the Module Settings. You can read the Module Config Guide here.

Please raise any queries on our Wall Forum. You can download a free trial version for your own site here. NOTE: This module requires DNN 4.6.0 as it uses the core token replacement functionality. If you are using friend integration for Wall security it requries The Smart-Thinker UserProfile module version 4.3.11.

Enhancements

•     *Sponsored Enhancement* Facebook-Style Textbox at top of wall for quick posting on Topic Item view (log in on PokerDIY to see it)
•     Smart-Thinker StoryFeed module integration (publish Wall stories to feed)
•     Header/Footer Template for Topic Item (Supports any HTML and the [WRITEONWALL] Token)
•         - http://www.smart-thinker.com/Support/Forums/tabid/111/forumid/32/threadid/4416/scope/posts/Default.aspx
•     Implemented IHydratable on Info Onjects for performance gains
•     Generated token images (Online/CountryFlag) now populate alt text
•     Refactored Group methods into Group module
•     "Post on X's Wall" does now not appear if you are viewing Profile X.

Bugs

•     Core CSS "subhead" style changed to "SubHead" for XHTML compliancy
•     Fixed bug with editing a post as the Wall Owner that you did not create
•     Fixed bug when not using FriendlyURLs
•         - http://www.smart-thinker.com/Support/Forums/tabid/111/forumid/32/postid/5402/scope/posts/Default.aspx

 Please raise any questions or queries on the Wall Forum.

This module allows users to create private or public groups of users. Groups can be public and joinable or closed to new membership, and the group owner can decide if new members require approval or not. Users can search groups by Category, Country or freetext tags. If the group allows new members then they can join the group. The group owner can send Private Messages to the group or invite groups to Events. This module was based loosely on the MySpace and Facebook Groups implementation.

 See the Poker Groups on PokerDIY for an example of an implementation. Have a look at this demo poker group to see the StoryFeed Integration in action (you can see the corresponding action feed on the demo player's profile).

You can download a free trial version for your own site.

 Enhancements

•     StoryFeed Integration - Join Group/Leave Group/Create Group
•     Groups are now cached for 2 minutes to reduce database load
•     Implemented IHydratable on Info Onjects for performance gains
•     Removed redundant reference to Smart-Thinker HomePage module
•     Search DDL in UserList view has been made narrower

Bug Fixes

•     Core CSS "SubHead" style changed to "SubHead" for XHTML compliancy
      GroupMember changes now invalidate Wall and StoryFeed cache correctly

Note that a UserGroup is a logical, user-defined grouping, and does not affect security or access rights. Please raise any queries about this module on the UserGroup Forum here.

After upgrading you will need to edit the module settings to take advantage of the new features. It is highly suggested that you localise the email templates to punch directly into the Group view (for group invites) - see PokerDIY for an example. This highly increases usablity (feel free to play around on PokerDIY and request to join our DotNetNuke Poker Group if you want to see the emails that are sent).

This version introduces the Facebook-style StoryFeed view which this and other modules can publish module actions to. Have a look at this demo poker player profile to see the StoryFeed in action.

Smart-Thinker Events is a DotNetNuke Event Management System with email notifications. 

This module can be seen in action on PokerDIY.com (Find live poker games and leagues). The email templates on PokerDIY have been customized so that the "From" person punches in to their profile, and the event punches directly in to the event detail page.

You can download a free trial version for your own site here. NOTE: This module requires DNN 4.6.0+ as it uses the core token replacement functionality.

The new version of the UserProfile module has a single token improvement (ISINROLE) to display data based on a user's role. and a few small bug fixes. You can see it in action on PokerDIY (feel free to set up an account to test) or you can download a trial version here.

This module allows users to create private or public groups of users. Groups can be public and joinable or closed to new membership. Users can search groups by Category, Country or freetext tags. If the group allows new members then they can join the group. The group owner can send Private Messages to the group or invite groups to Events. This module was based loosely on the MySpace Groups implementation.

Major Update: Integrates with the Smart-Thinker UserProfile to provide "Add to Group" functionality. Each profile can now display an "Add to Groups" button which displays the logged on users groups. You can see this on my PokerDIY profile.

New Features: The Group Owner can choose if group members can send private messages to the whole group or if just they can. New views to display the groups for the logged on user, or the public groups for a user's profile you are viewing. There is now also a "Latest Groups" view to show the groups most recently created. See the Poker Groups on PokerDIY for an example of an implementation.

Warning if Upgrading: Please check that all your module integrations (ie. UserProfile/Ventrian/Group pages) work by saving the settings again for each view. Some changes were made that might have affected them, but a quick check will fix it.

You can download a free trial version for your own site here.
