These are the options that you see on Host Menu, when you just install. Your production might have more depending on if any additional stuff are installed or not
Common Settings:
Dashboard
Extensions
File Management
Host Settings
Site Management
Advanced Settings:
Configuration Manager
Device Detection Management
HTML Editor Manager
Lists
Schedule
SQL
SuperUser Accounts
Vendors
So, you can configure for automatic update and check for the availability of updates
You can see what Critical, Moderate and Low security mean
As it came along the Update
The steps:
Usually you copy/replace the new files. usually the dll files will have most of the changes.
More details:
You need to take a backup of your existing site and database.
Modify your web.config file set autoupdate to false
copy all the files to your current site
the go to
www.example.com/install/install.aspx?mode=upgrade and follow the process.
another strategy might be
create a site only for update like
update.example.com based on your existing site and database (still keep some backup)
then copy all the new files to this update version
then go the install page
after install check if everything works
then you can modify IIS to make this update site to be the live/production site.
let’s show you an internet resource on this…
This is a good resource on upgrading DNN
http://www.dnnsoftware.com/wiki/upgrading-dotnetnuke
we are upgrading
anyway…
Just some URL rewrites, in PHP/Apache you do this using url-rewrite in .htaccess file
So, you can see from, Host->advanced settings you can change the following
If you did not use this feature of DNN before, probably you do not know that DNN has these features; however, you might already used similar features in other CMSes or in other software. you know some without knowing; just needed to know DNN uses those…
sometimes, the difference between theory and practice:
theory teaches you all the different possible stuff, where practical you just need to know what are the stuff from theory/general stuff are used in the particular technology: some truth, some false in the above statement..never mind…theory is evil…
Ip filtering can be a god idea, if your site is internal only…
also, you can block IPs where attacks originated from…a range or specific
apparently lucene is used as search.
Lucene is available as search engine for Drupal and other CMSes as well
including Kentico..
Using site management, you can create and configure multiple sites….
these new sites can use the same database
you can utilize users : specific to this site also users can be shared among multiple sites..
check yourself…how and is it possible really…
So you can see the extensions used
and you can configure/change settings for these…
So you can see available extensions such as login/authentication through twitter/facebook or similar
you can also search and install third party extensions….
Dashboard -> showing some info
making the info public is not a great idea
huge security risk…
for me this is a demo, dummy, I will remove the site anyway…still…not good..
I should not tell all the whys here…
nothing, some user and role management on dnn
http://www.dnnsoftware.com/Content/Dnn.Platform/Documentation/Using%20the%20Control%20Panel/Admin%20Console/Security%20Roles/Understanding%20Role%20Based%20Access.html
for admins and host account, this feature is ok. write SQL and run
but do not provide end users similar feature…can be dreadful
Schedule: different backend task scheduling for DNN
you see the DNN provided classes or classes used by DNN
you can use these classes in your code to implement some DNN like functionality
you can also check if a module use make more sense or not
or you might be able to reuse existing dnn code
You could use other editors Telerik/RAd/CKeditor…
anyway, I can stop here..
I can create another video and short-note on Admin menu
and also another on user management in general…
you are also welcome to create and send to us to post on this site or on our youtube channel
