DNN Blogs

It has been just about 5 years since my last overall update blog post was shared regarding DNN Platform, high-level technology needs, and future roadmap items. A lot has happened over these years, both for DNN itself, our community, and technology as a whole.  We have accomplished many of the goals that were outlined at that time, and we have some great new efforts by various DNN Community members that we need to revisit, embrace, and see where they will take the DNN Platform in the coming years.

About four weeks ago, we held our annual DNN Connect event in Girona, Spain. A new venue, but not a new destination. We have been to this region a number of times, and Catalonia has never disappointed. The food and wine are delicious, the climate is friendly, and the people are welcoming. This year was no different.

During an Open Content meeting, Sacha Trauwaen (the developer of Open Content) shared an intriguing idea. He created the concept of a secondary DNN rendering pipeline based on MVC 5 without WebForms.

It might have been the most exciting Connect ever!

Jeremy Farrance Presents: Why you should (and how to) put Cloudflare Free in front of your DNN site! This SoFri meeting session includes a live set up on an existing website as well as: setting up the 15-year origin server SSL certificate, a walk through on features you should turn on after you get it working, and a walk/talk through Clearing the Cache as well as when to use Pause vs. Dev mode.

Running a successful website today means more than just having great content—it means being findable, shareable, and secure. That’s why we built two new tools to make managing SEO and social media metadata easier and safer on DNN websites. These tools are now available for free to the DNN Community, and they’re designed to save time, reduce errors, and give your site a modern edge without a complex setup.

Tired of building DNN templates from scratch? Wish your content layouts were easier to manage across a site? We built something for that — and it’s free. 🚀 Meet OpenContentTemplates-Razor A set of real-world Razor templates built for OpenContent on DNN.

We’re excited to share two big updates from our team at Upendo Ventures — updates we hope will help strengthen the DNN ecosystem for organizations and community members alike.

In this meetup, Jeremy Farrance shares tips and facilitates discussion on various DNN 10 upgrade scenarios.

We are happy to announce that version 10.00.00 of DNN has been released.
