DNN Blogs

We're very excited to announce that version 01.01.01 of the Upendo DNN Page Manager module has been released.  While there have certainly been several releases over the past handful of months, this release marks a significant milestone for me.  This is the first release where the current feature set represents the features I had in mind for the first release. Now, you get to learn what got released this time... 

If you're not aware, our team at Upendo Ventures recently published an open-source module that empowers non-administrators and non-technical persons to perform many of the most common tasks that they need to do with pages in DNN, including finding and editing various pages. This release expands on those capabilities.  

No matter the situation, there is a massively critical element to that situation that is more important than any other... What is that you may ask? In a word, communication. If communication is not a primary focus of a community, all kinds of issues arise. We can laugh them off, or ignore them, but accurate and timely communication is the best way we can effectively build anything involving more than one person.  

Did you know that there's a new release of the official Announcements module for DNN? Well, you do now! The announcements module has long been a primary way for new DNN websites to add the ability to have a news - or dare I say "announcements" - section/feature on their DNN website. So, yes. This module does exactly what it sounds. Here's what is new...

The DNN Community Forums module has been chugging along for a while now, and so it's about time for a release. This release brings with it what I estimate to be over 100 hours of work across at least 4 people. Numerous things have been fixed, but we need your help before we can make this release official.

August 2021's Southern Fried User Group Meeting - Mitchel Sellers discusses the recent technology changes, trends that we see in the community, and future items for consideration as we look at the future of DNN. Nik Kalyani provides context for how your current DNN skills map to the highly lucrative Web3 arena.

First and foremost, I'm pleased to be able to announce that there is a new version of Active Forums available.  It's been a couple of weeks in the making, or months if you consider some of the details in this blog post.  There were several people in the community that chipped in to make this release possible as well, so I'm extra excited about this release.  

DNN 9.7.0 was slated as the next big release on our roadmap.  Plans included a new Resource Manager for managing digital assets.  While we were still working on the new Resource Manager and marching towards the 9.7.0 release, we received a nice mix of bug fixes and new features as pull requests.  And since we were aiming for a minor release, we did not separate bug fixes from new features.
