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.

Do you use CodeSmith and the original DNNJungle C# templates to generate your DAL for your DotNetNuke Modules?

We've made some small changes to keep them up to date with the core changes, the main enhancment being the addition of the IHydratable Interface in the Info object. You can download our C# template set from our Free DotNetNuke Downloads page.

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).

The new version of the UserProfile module mainly has SEO enhancements and bugfixes. Before upgrading, please read this post about the CSS changes and what you need to do. This version is neccessary if you are using the Wall module 4.3.2

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.

Objective: I wanted to customize the look of the FCK Editor on PokerDIY and allow users to select poker card icons as custom smileys in all modules that use the Rich HTML Editor, for example, Private Messages, the Poker Forums (in particular) and on all Wall posts (for example on Poker Player Profiles and Event Walls).
