Dot Net Nuke i.e DNN Architecture #Root #By Sayed Ahmed

By Author-Check- Article-or-Video in FromSitesTree.com

Dot Net Nuke Architecture

Components:

–Web pages

–Web pages can belong to different sites i.e multiple sites can be hosted using a single install of DNN (i.e single web application framework)

( you can keep content, roles, and user permissions separate for each of these sites)

–Modules i.e. mini applications inside pages (the same module can be utilized in different web-pages of the same or different sites)

–Service API

–Web Application Framework

–ASP.Net Web Forms

–Web API

–Web Server (IIS)

–Database (MS SQL Server)

–Microsoft Windows Server Operating System

Note:

EVOQ Social is a system that utilizes (extends) the DNN platform, and gives you a social community creation and engagement opportunity.

EVOQ Content is another system on top of DNN to utilize rich media to create impressive user experience and to give you more control on content management, publishing, approving, content quality control/mangement. Evoq Content provides additional modules for DNN for content management and creating impressive user experience. Reference: http://www.cantarus.com/dnn-evoq-content

Remember:

“In July 2013, DotNetNuke Professional Edition was renamed Evoq Content.^[5] In addition, DotNetNuke Enterprise Edition was renamed Evoq Content: Enterprise.” Reference: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DotNetNuke

On top of DNN Web Application Framework, you can develop modules, you can also use provider to replace the core modules. Using the DNN Service API you can integrate your DNN to external services and applications.

Design Choices for DNN

You can use plain HTML skins

You can also use default ASP.Net controls (ASP.Net) for the user interface i.e “using ASCX user controls, which is the native format for the DNN platform.”

Security Aspect of DNN

You can control user permissions up to module level (page level permission is there as well) i.e you can allow or restrict modules to the users.

Evoq solutions allow more granular level of permissions. As a module developer, you cab custom develop permissions for your module.

Security and Roles

DNN also utilizes Role based security. Rather than dealing with solely user based permissions, you can create Groups/Roles with the users and then assign permissions to those roles/groups (anyone inside that role/group will enjoy the same permissions)

Modular Page Layout Architecture

DNN page contents are also controlled by modules. Every page can be configured to be displayed using the skin layout as you wish.

DNN uses Module First Strategy instead of page first strategy. This module first strategy allows you to focus on modules first, then you can worry about where to display what based on what modules.

Basic WCF Example #Root #By Sayed Ahmed

By Author-Check- Article-or-Video in FromSitesTree.com

Defining and Implementing a Contract

using System.ServiceModel;

//a WCF contract defined using an interface
[ServiceContract]
public interface IMath
{
    [OperationContract]
    int Add(int x, int y);
}

//the service class implements the interface
public class MathService : IMath
{
    public int Add(int x, int y)
    { return x + y; }
}


Defining Endpoints and Starting the Service

public class WCFServiceApp
{
    public void DefineEndpointImperatively()
    {
        //create a service host for MathService
        ServiceHost sh = new ServiceHost(typeof(MathService));

        //use the AddEndpoint helper method to
        //create the ServiceEndpoint and add it 
        //to the ServiceDescription
        sh.AddServiceEndpoint(
          typeof(IMath), //contract type
          new WSHttpBinding(), //one of the built-in bindings
          "http://localhost/MathService/Ep1"); //the endpoint's address

        //create and open the service runtime
        sh.Open();

    }

    public void DefineEndpointInConfig()
    {
        //create a service host for MathService
        ServiceHost sh = new ServiceHost (typeof(MathService));

        //create and open the service runtime
        sh.Open();

    }
}
<!-- configuration file used by above code -->
<configuration 
   xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/.NetConfiguration/v2.0">
   <system.serviceModel>
      <services>
         <!-- service element references the service type -->
         <service type="MathService">
            <!-- endpoint element defines the ABC's of the endpoint -->
              <endpoint 
                 address="http://localhost/MathService/Ep1"
                 binding="wsHttpBinding"
                 contract="IMath"/>
         </service>
      </services>
   </system.serviceModel>
</configuration>

Sending Messages to an Endpoint

using System.ServiceModel;
//this contract is generated by svcutil.exe
//from the service's metadata
public interface IMath
{
    [OperationContract]
    public int Add(int x, int y)
    { return x + y; }
}


//this class is generated by svcutil.exe
//from the service's metadata
//generated config is not shown here
public class MathProxy : IMath
{
    ...
}

public class WCFClientApp
{
    public void SendMessageToEndpoint()
    {
        //this uses a proxy class that was
        //created by svcutil.exe from the service's metadata
        MathProxy proxy = new MathProxy();

        int result = proxy.Add(35, 7);
    }
    public void SendMessageToEndpointUsingChannel()
    {
        //this uses ChannelFactory to create the channel
        //you must specify the address, the binding and 
        //the contract type (IMath)
        ChannelFactory<IMath> factory=new ChannelFactory<IMath>(
            new WSHttpBinding(),
            new EndpointAddress("http://localhost/MathService/Ep1"));
        IMath channel=factory.CreateChannel();
        int result=channel.Add(35,7);
        factory.Close();

    }
}

How I changed the Favicon of ShopForSoul.com (Justetc Properties) #Root #By Sayed Ahmed

By Author-Check- Article-or-Video in FromSitesTree.com

Favicon: It is the icon displayed in the browser tab (top-left) when you go to a site.

Steps to Change:
Took the logo from the site http://www.justetc.net/

Used a paint software to cut the text and kept only the pictorial part (logo symbol) of the logo image.

Then used the Favicon generator http://www.favicon.co.uk/index.php to create the Favicon for ShopForSoul.com

The Favicon for Magento based site are located usually under the theme directories i.e /skin/frontend/default/default/favicon.ico or in the base theme directory /skin/frontend/base/default/favicon.ico. If you are not sure, then go to your site and check the source of the home page, you will notice the location of the Favicon.

You will see as follows

You can also search your source code usually in the skin folder. You also need to know which theme/skin is your
store using currently.

Replaced the default Magento icon with my favicon icon. I replaced both base and default themes. Magento may be using the base favicon if it does not find the favicon for your theme.

Then, flushed the cache, and also refreshed the cache from Magento admin section.

Cleared all browser history. The new favicon icon appeared.

If it does not come for you, close the browser, clear all cache, and clear all downloaded objects (IE); then double check that the favicon images are at the right folders in your store. Try to browse to the exact favicon from browser (by typing or copying the full url, or using directory browsing if enabled). Also, check that
your page HTML source refers to the right favicon. If everything is right, you should see the new favicon. Else, try another browser as well.
