By Rodney Joyce @ 7:22 AM :: 2991 Views :: Events - Update, Homepage News, Latest Updates
We are pleased to announce that on the 23rd of the July, 2006, the Smart-Thinker Events module (version 1.0.5) was certified as passing the high-quality steps set by the DotNetNuke Review Program. You can verify this by clicking on the logo below. Thanks to the core team for the great job they have done with this and it will another big step forward to push DotNetNuke into the mainstream.

If you are a module vendor then I encourage you to get reviewed now! I believe this will raise the standard of DNN Modules and start eliminating the "fly-by-night" module developers and separate modules into the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly. To give an idea of the stringent checks required you can read more about it here.

Over the next few months all Smart-Thinker modules will be reviewed as a sign of our commitment to producing high-quality, certified products.

By Rodney Joyce @ 12:21 PM :: 2319 Views :: Homepage News, Latest Updates, Utilities - Update
The Smart-Thinker Utilities module is designed to tidy up all the little bits of functionality that are lying around and require separate modules.

If you need a page to refresh periodically you can use the timer function, or you could redirect to a new page after a certain amount of time. If you have a gallery, you could also add "No Right Click" ability to the page with a custom message.

Features:
  • Yahoo IM Online Presence indicator
  • "Call Me" Skype button
  • Page Refresher with alternate destination
  • "No Right Click" functionality

Smart-Thinker UserGroups 1.0.0 Released
By Rodney Joyce @ 9:53 AM :: 2451 Views :: Homepage News, Latest Updates, UserGroups - Update

Got too many users on your site and spend ages scrolling through them? Do you create a lot of Events?

 

The Smart-Thinker UserGroup module allows users to create their OWN groups and associate other users by Role or by name to their groups. Administrators can also create Public groups which can be joined by anyone and viewed by all. The primary function of this module is to integrate with other modules that make use of groups of users - for example, the next version of the Smart-Thinker Events module (coming soon to a PC near you) will allow Event Creator to invite UserGroups to their events, instead of having to select each user individually or by Role. The power of this module will become more apparent as more modules allow UserGroup integration.

Live DEMONSTRATION

 

 

Note that a UserGroup is a logical, user-defined grouping, and does not affect security or access rights.

 

And of course, it integrates with Smart-Thinker UserProfiles, so you can see more info about group members at a glance.

 

To see this module in action, go to www.smart-thinker.com. You can create your own Groups and join public groups if you wish (bear in mind you may get event email invitations from other users testing the Events module if you join a public group).

 

Smart-Thinker Subscribers have access to ALL Smart-Thinker modules and resources, including the newly released Smart-Thinker HomePage and UserProfile module!

Smart-Thinker DataGrid and Textbox released
By Rodney Joyce @ 8:43 AM :: 2499 Views :: DNN Controls - Update, Homepage News, Latest Updates
The Smart-Thinker DataGrid, Textbox and other controls are now available to subscribers for download as part of the Smart-Thinker Module Framework.

The DataGrid allows Paging and Sorting on gridviews, as well as row highlighting, and the Textbox has built-in validation controls to ease development and reduce form clutter.

Please follow the Usage Instructions for information on how to use these controls in YOUR modules to save you development time and create a standard, rich interface.

For a working example and code, please download and refer to the Smart-Thinker UserProfile module to understand the DataGrid control better.

Please note that this assembly is referenced by all other Smart-Thinker modules and is therefore compiled in their \bin directories already. This is merely the source code for the controls and the rest of the framework should modifications be required. If you are not a module developer than this will probably not interest you too much.
