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.

The Ifinitity Sitemap Provider needs to be installed before switching on in web.config). See the Smart-Thinker DNN Blog for configuration instructions.
• StoryFeed view can now be set to All to show all activity on a site to any user (see homepage of http://www.pokerdiy.com as an example)

It is highly recommended that you change your templates to reduce missing links (changed default template)
•     Performance Enhancement - Setting a UserProfile to a preset userID now uses a UserName textbox and not a ddl (better performance on large numbers of users). This applies to the following pages:

        - Friend Requests
        - Friends
        - Edit Profile
        - Profile Module Settings

•     Exposed DeleteStory(ActionID) as a Web Service Method in case the calling module wants to erase an old story

This version allows a user to set their profile to be visible to Friends-Only. For example, try to view this user who has set their profile to private. Have a look at this demo poker player profile to see the StoryFeed in action.

The following modules currently support StoryFeed actions:

• ST UserProfile (4.3.13) - Edit Profile Pic, Update Profile Status, Add Friend, New Profile
• ST UserGroup (4.3.7) - Create Group, Join Group, Leave Group
• ST Wall (4.3.3) - Post on UserProfile/Event/Group/Custom Wall

Coming soon... Ventrian News Article integration (Create new Article, New comment etc.)

The possiblities are endless, for example, with Bizmodules.net UVG and UMG you could have Uploaded new Video and Add new Picure actions. Please contact us If you are a Module Developer and would like to publish feeds to the StoryFeed view. It is a few lines of code and greatly enhances the user experience - perfect for DotNetNuke Social Networks!
