Personal .NET Portal / News: Recent posts

Version 3 of the Personal .NET Portal will come with several improvements in stability and usability.
We will update the portal from ASP.NET 2.0 to 3.5. This allows us to use some Ajax Controls to make the configuration of some modules easier. Also we can put some modules into ASP.NET UpdatePanels so that user experience might be in a more natural manner.
There is still some work until the release of version 3, but we hope to bring it as soon as possible.

This Release contains an important bugfix for the statistics background threads.
- Improve stability of the statistics background threads.

This Release contains the newest FCKeditor V2.6.3 and several improvements on existing modules and important bugfixes.

- Configuration of the JPG compression Level in Module ImageBrowser.

This Release contains several improvements on existing modules and important bugfixes.

This version contains a new module, the FormBuilder. A module that provides the ability to build your own Web-Forms that will be submitted by email. You can configure your own email layout and the data validation rules.
This release contains also some small improvements.

This version contains a new module, the ContentScheduler. It lets you define a schedule with different module content. The portal switches the content exact at the defined point in time based on your schedule.
This release contains also some small improvements, like configurable meta tags etc.

This version contains some basic functions to record portal-specific statistical data like number of logins per account, total visit count, total request count and a top 30 list of the mostly requested pages (per month).
This release contains also some minor bugfixes and performance improvements.

This Version contains the updated FCKeditor 2.4 to edit HTML content.
To improve the update and backup capability, the portals CSS has been moved to the data directory. All user files are now in the data directory and can be backed up easily.

The personal .NET portal is now reachable under www.dotnet-portal.net.

The domain is here, but the website needs a new design. Do you have a weakness to make beautiful, professional looking websites, we need you! Create a CSS for the .NET Portal and send your it to "info at dotnet-portal.net".

This version contains some minor bugfixes.

Nearly two years after the last release, we are proud to announce the version 2.0!

There has been done a lot of bugfixes and improvements since then. So feel free to try it out!

While Arthur (founder of this project) wrote that the development on version 2.0 had been stopped, we continued his work.

Some new modules have been added and the project has been updated to ASP.NET 2.0. We also made a lot of bug fixing. So this project is more alive than ever.

We will release the version 2.0 very soon.

Sorry, development on the 2.0 Version has been stoped.

It's just to much Work and no one will need a SQL Database and dynamic Data Access Layers.

This Portal should stay a SIMPLE Portal for Personal use.

I've very little time in the last weeks so progress of the Protal is very slowly now (I've some troubles with my motor bike, the gearbox needs some
repair).

I released this Version to show you that the project isn't dead!

ATTENTION!
----------
Work is in progress. Do not use it in a production environment!

What's new
----------
You can choose your personal favourite Data Access Layer (XML, SQLServer, etc.). The default
Data Access Layer is still XML!
You can also define more than one Portal eg. one for you, one for a friend of yours.

There is a Code Project Article describing the Portal a little bit.

At last! The First Release 1.0!

There are still some Modules missing, but I put them into another Project (Contacts, Calendar, EMail - Groupware).

Because those missing modules are not Part of the infrastructure and my Homepage has started I decided to release the first Version. Additional Modules will be released in a separate Package.

@Linux: The last CVS Version is able to launch the Protal, but there are troubles with Datasets, so I was unable to login or view the "News" or "QuickLinks" Module. But its on the Way.

Work on security started, User Database (XML) created
