Welcome to your new HomePage! Minimize
This is your page, and you can do what you like to it! For example, if you don't like this message, erase it!

Here are some ideas for your webpage:

  • Store your favorite links so that you have them all in one place for easy access
  • Display your favorite holiday snaps
  • Start your own blog

Editing your page is easy! Your webpage has 2 modes - an Edit mode and a Preview mode. When you are in Edit mode you will see the basic layout of the website. You will notice that all your modules have little 'Edit' icons on them so that you can change their content. Whilst this is useful, you may prefer to see how your page will look in real life, so open the Control Panel and click on Preview button. You will notice the icon changes and you can now close the Control Panel and use your webpage.

The only thing you do have to be careful with is understanding the security around a module. For example, if you edit the security details and remove the rights to view the module, it will disappear, so be careful when tinkering with the more advanced settings. Having said that though, you could always add another module, so it's not the end of the world! This help text is stored in the Header and Footer of this module.

To show someone your page, copy the URL in your browser above and send it to them (assuming they have the correct rights to see it).

You may have noticed Smart-Thinker has a sleek new look! The old skin served us well but it was time for a change. When SmartSocial (the free DotNetNuke Social Networking Suite) was announced we thought we'd better jack up the website a lot.

We want your opinion - do you like the new skin or not?

This version introduces a new beta feature called Location Search which you can see in action on PokerDIY. Users can drill down by Country, Region and finally City (user data-driven) and search for users at each level. The Smart-Thinker Groups module, Event module and any other location-based module will be able to take advantage of this. For example, you might drill down to a particular city and the results page will show all users, groups, events etc for that location.

There is a very interesting proposal/debate going on on the Smart-Thinker Forums regarding the leveraging of multiple customer's buying power to pay for Sponsored Enhancements (Crowdsourcing) to increase the Smart-Thinker productivity output.

 

The basic idea is that a list of estimates is done for all major feature requests. Customers can then "bid" to sponsor a feature and have a say in the specification and requirements for the feature. When the full amount for the project is reached and the majority of project sponsors agree on the spec and deliverables then the enhancement is developed. The majority once again must sign it off for it to be accepted. The full detail of the proposal can be found Read More »

The Smart-Thinker Social Networking Product Suite allows you to integrate any 3rd party module with the profile feed. As of UserProfile version 4.3.14, the popular Ventrian News Article module (version 0.7.17+) now publishes events to the profile feed. It also integrates with the Ifinity Google Sitemap Provider so you can output a list of all your profiles to your Google Sitemap (more on that later).

 

Here is an example of a poker blog that was commented on by this

As of UserProfile 4.3.12, any module can now publish event actions to the StoryFeed view (have a look at this profile on PokerDIY (bottom right) if you have not seen the feed). For example, if you had a Gallery module you could publish an event whenever someone uploads a new picture, or if you had a News article you could send an event whenever an article was published or approved. Hopefully by the time this blog is posted the Ventrian News Article module will be published events to the Smart-Thinker UserProfile feed.

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 (here is an example of a Alabama poker group).
