I'm going to add the accessiBe widget to a site. I know I can add its javascript to the layout.Master but I was wondering if there was a better way to go about this?

Thanks,
Bill

I could not find any relevant answer to this so I am posting to try and solve my problem.

When I try and upload a file using the "Brows Server" option and then selecting a local file and hit "Upload", it immediately redirects me to an error page as mentioned below.

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________

We're sorry but a server error has occurred while trying to process your request.

The error has been logged and will be reviewed by our staff as soon as possible. It is possible that the error was just a momentary hiccup and you may wish to use the back button and try again or go back to the home page.

Do you have someone testing who actually depends on a screen reader?

It should be possible to tab into links but I'm not sure about tabbing into paragraphs, doesn't seem like that should be needed for reading the page. Do you get different results testing with major news sites or other sites known to be accessible to screen readers. I would think there are probably keyboard commands to initiate various things within the screen reader.

We are very interested in anything we can do to help insure that mojoPortal is accessible and we would love to be able to help if you have actual testers who depend on assistive technology who could provide specific examples of specific problems as well as comparable pages that do work for them. Ultimately we would need to find out what exactly in the html is not accessible and what the actual html markup is vs the recommended markup.

fyi, please don't reply to the forum notification email, please click the link in the email to get back to this thread to reply in the forums.

Hope we can be of some help,

Joe

We would have to see the site to be able to help. Can you send us a link?

Thanks,

So I am working towards getting all of our sites with mojoportal to be web accessable, I have been testing them with all the Wave, 508's and VCL's built in checker and that all comes back fine. When I use my screenreader I can tab through all the links and navigation but it never seems to get to the content, so it never reads me content... which is a bad thing. Any ideas?

System Information:

mojoPortal Version2.3.9.7 MSSQL
Operating SystemMicrosoft Windows NT 6.0.6002 Service Pack 2
ASP.NET Infov2.0.50727 Running in Full Trust

Thanks!

Not sure why your login doesn't work when you try to login the second time. As for being "logged out" you're probably not really being logged out, you're probably viewing the site on a different URL than the one you logged in with originally. I noticed your site answers to both www.parentjobnet.org and parentjobnet.org but neither redirects to the other (i.e., parentjobnet.org redirects to www.parentjobnet.org). This means that your site is seen as two different sites by browsers (and search engines for that matter) so when you login at parentjobnet.org, a cookie is set by your browser for that domain. When you go to a page (either by direct entry or a link) at www.parentjobnet.org, the cookie set by browser for parentjobnet.org isn't valid and therefore you are not logged in. If you have your browser set to remember passwords, it could have different passwords saved for www.parentjobnet.org and parentjobnet.org. This would explain why you are able to login on one and not the other.

To get past this dueling url issue, see the "Forcing a Preferred Host Name" article.

Hope this helps,
Joe D.

I have a problem with logging in to my MojoPortal site. I have all administrator privileges and can log in to certain pages (i.e. the home page) and I can edit/update content. However, when I go to pages like this (http://www.parentjobnet.org/donate.aspx), the system logs me out. When I try to log-in, my login fails. 

My other employees can log in just fine and they can edit/update that page.

What is the the problem?

The internal comment system is not threaded so you reply by making a new comment. You could also use external comment systems like Disqus and IntenseDebate if you prefer threaded comments.

Hope that helps,

Joe

How can I reply to comments ,which i  received in mojoportal blog.

Thanks

Amit

Thank you for the help.

csshandler.ashx can be expensive on the first hit because it is combining a bunch of css files and then minifying the combined css. It gets cached on the server and in the browser so subsequent requests should be fast.

I would also review the mojoportal log under Administration > System Log

If you see the application start and end events logged repeatedly in short times it means the application pool is being recycled frequently. This can happen in a low memory hosting environment if the host forces the app pool to recycle when it reaches a certain memory limit. If the app is continually restarting it is usually an indicator that that is happening and this will kill performance.

For the css handler problem there is a way that you could remove it from the load equation. Copy the rendered minified css  output from csshandler.ashx into a new file named style-combined.css and put it in your skin folder.

Then in the style.config file in the skin folder comment out all the files that are there and add one entry for the new combined file.

Then add this in user.config:

<add key="CombineCSS" value="false"/>

recycle the app or touch web.config to reload the above setting.

Now if you view the source it should link directly to the style-combined.css file instead of to csshandler.ashx

​That will reduce the memory usage a little as well so it may help with other problems.

​Hope that helps,

Joe

But I recommend don't use AppKeepAlive even if it does work, use a free external service as linked in the article. The remote service can make periodic web requests to your site and this will keep it alive better and more reliably than the AppKeepAlive.

/FidQ

See this article that explains why it is slow on first startup, especially the part at the bottom about some free services that can ping your site often enough to keep it awake.

Hope that helps,

Joe

I have extremely slow loading times, i have tried to contact my host provider (surftown.dk), but they could not find anything wrong with the server(s).

The problem is periodic, if i have not used the site in a while the loadtime is about 20-30 sec, if i then refresh (or close down my browser) and try again it loads right away (1-2 sec), my first thought was i had something to do with the local cache, but i am unable to solve this problem anyway.

i have run some tests on this page, http://www.webpagetest.org/result/130626_55_15CG/1/details/

its tells me the csshandler.ashx is the file/class taking all the time to load, to my knowledge( may be wrong) i controls the css files.
i tried generating a new GUID, same problem.

So what is causing this problem, my host or is it mojoportal?

/FidQ

I've got a requirement to implement the 'Point' product from Widget, which allows for special symbols to be displayed when hovering over words on a webpage.  Has anyone used it with Mojoportal?

http://www.widgit.com/products/point/index.htm

Thanks

Danny

I am facing a problem.. not sure if it's because of upgrading mojoportal but before my website was working properly.

I have disabled my comments, but it's appearing in the blog of my site although it's disabled. (It would be nice if you allow attachments in forums it will help a lot)

http://asseraj.org/KalematHesan.aspx

Any idea why?

I would really appreciate your help.

Thanks.

Thanks for pointing that out. Its actually an image button that is intended to be hidden and not used directly by a user. The purpose of the button is to to add a global content instance to the page when the add global content dialog is dismissed. If you configure an html instance to be global so it can be re-used on multiple pagres then a new link appears  on this page (PageLayout.aspx) that links to the global content dialog page. The link is not shown uless there exists global content that hasn't been added to the current page. Then if you choose content from the global dialog upon dismissing the dialog javascript will set a hidden field with the module id of the selected content then it will click this hidden button to add it to the page. So its a button intedned to be clicked only from javascript not by the user.

I will fix this for the next release by adding tabIndex="-1" on the hidden button, this well prevent you from tabbing into the hidden image button so it will avoid the confusion about the blank label.

Thanks,

Joe

I just thought I would let you know that there is a button that has a missing label in the backend of Mojo portal's latest version.  The button is right next to the "create content" button.  I'm not sure what the button should say though, so maybe somebody with sight could take a look?  Thanks.

Hope that helps,

Joe

I run it in Full mode, so that shouldn't be the issue  (as far as my understanding goes...). Also my host couldn't find a solution so far... Maybe something with server settings???

All help is welcome!

Karlo

Does the folder exist at:

/Data/Sites/[SiteID]/useravatars

SiteID will typically be 1 so /Data/Sites/1/useravatars

If it doesn't exist, create it manually and see if that solves the problem.

Hope that helps,

Joe

I am developer, I'm very glad to use mojo, I like it since it has a great and extensible framework and also since Joe put a great effort for accessibility...

Anyway I'm struggling with a website for a governmental institution in Italy and I must use the "Strict" document type.

I've found that - at least for the front end which would be good at the moment - every is fine except a couple of things related to javascript:

1. if I use the RssFeed module, it loads NeatHtml but the tag is invalid, the error is:

there is no attribute "language": <script type='text/javascript' language='javascript' src='https://www.mojoportal.com/ClientScript/NeatHtml.js?guid=33ed0439-de92-4203-99c7-c53ee71099f6'>

how can I manage the issue? 

2. the noscript tag is needed for every javascript

In this forum I've found that for NeatHtml it is not possible to have a noscript tag, is it maybe possible for other javascript to have it? And if not, is it maybe possible to remove the javascript at all (of course, limiting the functionalities or limiting the use of its modules, ie I won't use the rss feed or other modules, only HtmlModule is really needed....)

Thanks,

Mojo portal (www.mojoportal.com) was given a poor accessibility score on November 14, 2011 because many of the fundamental elements regarding accessibility were not implemented correctly IE: alternative text not being provided for all images.

From what I saw in the reports there were lots and lots of false positives about this. There might be a few actual content images on this site that have a missing alt text but I'm very careful to always add alt text on content images so I think they would be very few if any, and the report complained both if it did have alt text and if it did not which made it not very useful. In the case where it did find alt text it said decorative iamges should not have alt text because it can be annoying for screen reader users when it reads the alt text for images that are just decorative.

I've only expressed my opinion that automated tools are of limited use, they can identify things that need further evaluation by real people but the more false positives they produce the more tedious it is to get value ot of the report. I'm not trying to criticise your business model but I hold to my opinion and I also assert that this site is for the most part very accessible contrary to your report and this has been validated by real people such as Katherine (aka Chromebuster) who use assistive technology.

Mojo portal (www.mojoportal.com) was given a poor accessibility score on November 14, 2011 because many of the fundamental elements regarding accessibility were not implemented correctly IE: alternative text not being provided for all images. We provided specifics on the pages that have issues and highlighted the in-page view. Yes, automated tools do find some false positives and will not discover every accessibility issue, but our scans will assist in getting your site more compliant if you fix the issues that are found.

Cromebuster, you vastly misunderstood my email regarding us scanning secure sites. Secure sites may require VPN or special firewall access. We typically would have a network administrator and others on a call with their counterparts at your organization. This is not something that we provide as part of our free service.

Our service is run from our servers and require tremendous computer power. We do not receive funding from any government agency or any special organization. Our service is absolutely free for everyone to check out the accessibility of their website. We are a member driven organization that is working on getting the Internet more accessible for everyone. If an organization desires to have unlimited scanning, we charge $20 to $50 per month for membership.

Feel free to call us at 401-383-5288 to discuss any specifics.

I tried them after you emailed me about it before and was not impressed. There is no automated tool that can tell you definitively whether a site is accessible or meets accessibility laws or guidelines. Automated tools can be of some use in flagging potential things that need to be evaluated by a real person to determine if it is a problem or not. As such these kinds of tools tend to flag lots of false positives that can make you worry that your site has problems. The BOIA is a for profity company that wants to upsell you from their free reports to their paid reports and want to come across like they are some official authority with their name but they are not. 

When I tried them the report had so many false positives it would be a real pain to find any useful report of a problem because of all the noise you have to filter out from the false positives. They reported my PayPal donate link as having a problem for example and they reported it thousands of times because my site has it on every page and I really don't think it does have any accessibilty problem. Their approach of wanting you to put their badge on your site showing how accessible your site is just a marketing ploy in my opinion trying to drive more people to their site so they can upsell them to their paid service. It seems like marketing based on fear. Fear that your site is not accessible generated by their scarey report, and I'm not keen on that kind of marketing approach. They don't have credibility with me and I certainly don't want to endorse them.

There are lots and lots of such tools that are probably better than theirs. The W3C Web Accessibility Initiative keeps a complete list of Accessibility testing tools and the BOIA is not on the list. I would suggest that if people do want to use automated testing tools for what usefulness they may offer they should try the ones on the W3C list.

But, no tool by itself can really definitively tell you whether a site has accessibility problems or not, as I said before they can be useful for pointing out things that a real person might want to evaluate but that is all.

Hope that helps,

Joe

If somebody could provide some informed comments on this, I'd really appreciate it because it's driving me crazy.  I hae been using boia.org to test the accessibility of sites (they test for 508 compliance and WCAG 2.0 compliance), and my site, being of Mojo Portal core, was flagged for only parcial accessibility.  Um, that's a little odd, don't you think?  One of the main reasons why I chose Mojo portal for my site was because of it's compliance with these two groups of standards.  So is it me, or is it the credibility of this particular organization that's off?  Thanks for any input you have, for both I and my mentor here at college would be very appreciative of the information. 

I found it to be on most of the mp_{tablename} and not on the custom tables that i'd created.

You found what specifically on what specific tables?

You have the database on a separate VM machine from the web site, does it connect to the VM by a local network or doe sit connect over the internet? Connecting over the internet would be slow.

Is the web site on a VM? How much power does the VM have in terms of processor and memory. You need at least 1 GB of RAM on a VM for a Web Server and ideally at least 2GB or the machine does not have enough head room for running IIS etc and that will make it slow. With a VM with 2GB of RAM you could install SQL Express on the same machine and it "should" run ok, but remember that with a VM the real hardware is shared by multiple VMs and if there are too many of them on the same real hardware they will not perform well.

You will get better performance using inexpensive shared hosting than using an underpowered VM.

I can tell you that this site runs on a dedicated server with a good processor and 2GB of RAM and it is very fast with about 9 different sites running on the same machine and we have both SQL Server and My Sql also running on the same machine. We get a lot of traffic and we could handle a great deal more traffic than we get.

Best,

Joe

Sorry, but I am 99.99% certain that you are mistaken about environment one and what happens when a new page is created.

I am 100% sure that I never implemented it to create a 301 for new pages. 

I am also 100% sure that I never made a release with version 2.3.6.0, so if that is really your version it was probably something you compiled yourself from source code in between official releases. Perhaps you or someone else modified the code to produce this behavior if it really happens.

There is no need to make a 301 for an url that never existed before because nothing links to it, nothing has indexed it and nothing has bookmarked it. Creating a 301 just in case a user types in the url with a .aspx is not needed in my opinion. Most users never type in urls, they just click links and if they do type in an url they most likely just type in the domain name and then click a link in the menu to get to a page. So there has never been a feature to create 301s for that scenario, and there is no plan to implement such a feature.

Best,

Joe

Let me explain you more specifically.

Environment 1: Having Mojoportal ver.2.3.6.0 installed.

1. Having Extensionless URLs enabled on web.config and followed the documentation as given on your website.
2. Have set "Default Friendly Url Pattern = page-name"
3. Now, when i create a sample page other than the default home page that comes pre-installed, with the name say, "~/new-page" as suggested by the url suggester, when i hit save, it saves perfectly and and also when i test simply by requesting "/new-page.aspx" on the web browser, it automatically redirects to the "http://localhost/new-page".

But......

Environment 2: Having Mojoportal ver.2.3.6.5 or ver.2.3.7.0 installed.

1.     Having Extensionless URLs enabled on web.config and followed the documentation as given on your website.
2.     Have set "Default Friendly Url Pattern = page-name"
3.     Now, when i create a sample page other than the default home page that comes pre-installed, with the name say, "~/new-page" as suggested by the url suggester, when i hit save, it saves perfectly and and also when i test simply by requesting "/new-page.aspx" on the web browser, it automatically shows up a "404 page" rather than redirecting itself to the "http://localhost/new-page". And I need to enable it manually on "301 Redirect Manager", then it works correctly, as seen on the Live website GBinterior.com.
   
   Thank You :-)

Thanks a ton for the great info that i can use it hereon. :-)

I found it to be on most of the mp_{tablename} and not on the custom tables that i'd created. and now how do i delete or optimize to make it small once again? That's now becoming a weird one for me as i dont know how to do that and currently to manage my client's website, i've hired a VPS for database hosting alone from one of my friend handle this strange database growth. If i can rework on the tables, is there any C# script or any DB Tools that i can make use of to Flush the unwanted space that it had created virtually?
Plz. look at the speed of loading of the website[now i've done some minor changes to it by releasing the "CSSCaching on Browser"] and also help me to save from its increasing on size. Thank You in Advance. :-)

If you created a page /somepage.aspx before you enabled extensionless urls and then you later changed the url to /somepage then I agree it should and it does create a 301 redirect from /somepage.aspx to /somepage because the previous url may be indexed by google or bookmarked so a redirect is needed.

If after you change to enable extensionless urls you create a new page /someotherpage it should not and does not and never has created a redirect from /someotherpage.aspx to /someotherpage because /someotherpage.aspx never existed as an url before in your site and it should be a 404 page not found and not a redirect. So there never was a feature to do that and it has not changed in recent versions.

Hope that helps,

Joe

That is a strange symptom. I certainly have not heard of it before and have never experienced it in any of my sites

The only ideas I have are:

1. databases don't automagically recover free space if a table gets lots of data and then later the data is deleted it does not automatically free up the space. You can do some googeling on this to learn more, there are some ways to manually recover the free space in some cases.
2. given the above, the only tables which I can think of for features included in mojoPortal that might grow and grow under some circumstances would be mp_IndexingQueue and mp_TaskQueue which could get populated with data and then somehow if the task to process and remove those rows doesn't happen it could just build up lots of rows. Maybe also if you are using WebStore the mp_PayPalLog and mp_GoogleCheckoutLog could potentially grow more than expected.
3. If you have other custom features that create a lot of data, or other apps creating data in the same database
4. If you have my product In Site Analytics Pro installed and configured to capture data, it is a great deal of data and would grow very quickly. This product can be configured to use a different database than mojoPortal because it does use so much space.
5. I think you need to look into which tables are very large (lots of rows) and go from there

I would not use AppKeepAlive unless the slowness is caused by lack of traffic, otherwise it doesn't help anything, it just keeps your site from falling asleep, if your site gets continous traffic it is not asleep.

Hope that helps,

Joe

Yes, if an url does not exist in your site and it is not an url configured to redirect to another url it should result in a 404 page not found.

I think most likely the redirect for ~/newpage.aspx was created by changing the url or page name on an existing page which would change the url, so mojoportal created a 301 redirect automatically if a page url changes.

You can look for that redirect url under Administration > Advanced Tools > 301 Redirect Manager

and you can delete it if it exists and then a request for ~/newpage.aspx should result in a 404

See also the article 301 Redirect Manager

Hope that helps,

Joe

In one of the website that i have developed with the version 2.3.3.0 was excellent but, the site started facing these problems.

1. Website's SQL Server 2008 R2 database started incresing in its size upto 10 times. Yes! That was a real shock to  me, where it was around 30MB when i deployed the website and found it to be 325MB after a month's time.
2. The website started becoming slow, so i allowed the "KeepAlive URL" method and also allowed CSScaching on Server and Client. But still it takes a long time to load than any other websites that have huge data on it.
3. Since my Webhosting provider(Shared) whom i used it to host a year ago exactly by Nov 2010. He alloted a max of 200MB of database space. but now its keep on increasing and since im busy with other stuffs i dont know where to start, to reduce the DB's size. My Hosting provider for that Client says the Log file for the database is getting increased and it may be due to the new members to the website. But I found there was no new signups, as this is a business website and not a Member specific.
   
   Is this a bug or am i doing something wrong Joe, Kindly help me. Also everyday like a "Cup of Coffee" tastes better, I keep tasting mojoPortal's versions and building websites or at sometimes if i dont get any client, i simply keep adding new skins that i develop to help me for other projects. I should wholeheartedly thank a ton with a sincere grattitude to you Joe Audette for building this wonderful product that i ever LOVE <3.

Kindly lemme know whether i should upgrade the portal's version or do some tweaks to it. Also I would like to share my website's URL's that i can showcase on mojoPortal's site's list, where you publish. Plz. lemme know about this too. Thank You.

You should use the actual url for the canonical url, you do not want the canonical url to be an url that does a redirect. You want to avoid un-needed redirects as much as possible. When there is a redirect the response is sent to the browser with status code 302 (object moved) for a temporary redirect or 301 (object moved permanently) for a permanent redirect and the new url is provided then the browser navigates to the new url. So you have extra web requests going on for every redirect. For good SEO avoid un-needed redirects.

You certainly don't want your canonical url to do a permanent redirect. Its like saying this is the correct url but then saying no it isn't this page moved permanently to this other url. Don't make your page use extensionless urls and then have .aspx in the canonical, its a very bad idea.

There has not been any change in how urls work in mojoPortal.

mojoPortal only creates a 301 when you change the url of an existing page so that the old url will redirect to the new one. It does not create any redirects for new pages and you should not need any. You either use .aspx or you use extensionless urls but not both for the same page.

[having canonical url with .aspx, in case if the site needs to b revoked to "Mandatory Extension" in mere future, if required]

The only way that would happen is if you think you may need to move the site to an older version of IIS where the extensionless urls might not work like Windows 2003/IIS 6. If you really think that is a risk to be concerned about then my advice is don't use extensionless urls, just stick with .aspx and don't change them. You definitely should not have the canonical url with .aspx and the actual url without it.

Hope that helps,

Joe

Thanks for replying. The situation would be,

1. After setting up the mojoPortal (v2.3.6.5 or v2.3.7.0) the user isn't allowed to create a extensionless url that should automatically get redirected to the right extension. i.e., say you create a new page with the name "~/newpage" and have canonical url as "~/newpage.aspx" [having canonical url with .aspx, in case if the site needs to b revoked to "Mandatory Extension" in mere future, if required], the redirect should automatically be setup fro "~/newpage.aspx" to "~/newpage" or itself right?[having the right things setup on web.config as per the documentation in http://www.mojoportal.com/extensionless-urls.aspx ] Here, the situation is it isn't creating a redirect url or mapping itself on the "301 Redirect Manager", resulting in failure of opening the page when any user tries to open it with ".aspx" extension.

2. This feature was working fine until version 2.3.6.0. This is what im trying bring in this scenario and make it work again.

Hope this is clear right? Joe? can you please let me know why this had happened and is that an obsolete feature that comes bundled up with mojoPortal or ignored by mistake while building the portal or is that a bug?

When you say:

The user will not be able to have an automated URL redirection after having enabled with a ExtensionLess URL feature.

I have no idea what you mean about automated url redirection, please explain it more clearly in terms of

• steps to produce the problem
• expected results
• actual results.

Best,

Joe

I've been working with mojoPortal from its previous versions since 2.1.3.0 and i've been analysing the changes on it and also had built few custom modules to exercise the richness of the MojoPortal. I always thank you wholeheartedly for creating such an "Awesome CMS" that's damn flexible to be customized.

Here today i wanted to bring in notice about the issue that's being prevailing on its version 2.3.6.5, that is, the previous build version. Please check out the Web Deploy release or its source of this version. The user will not be able to have an automated URL redirection after having enabled with a ExtensionLess URL feature. I tested the same version many times on various servers(IIS 7.5) and found this issue. I wanted you to look at this isue and check whether this has been fixed or should it needs to be fixed in its future release that is after ver.2.3.7.0.

That is why when we implemented that fancy jquery fie manager we also kept the previous file manager which does not us iframes. There is a link for Alternate File manager at the top of the file manager that you may find easier to use with Jaws.

I have noticed this for a long time, however, I kept forgetting to put it in here.  I'm finally doing it now.  I have noticed that in Mojo Portal, certain areas, such as the file manager in particular, that use IFrames, tend not to be very accessible for screen reader users trying to navigate through there.  As far as a screen reader is concerned, often to click within the IFrame, it is required to use the special cursor routing mechanisms of the screen reader, and even then, you never know where you're at in the first place.  The file manager module is a prime example of this.  I can't even maneuver through there very smoothly and figure out where I am when having to simulate a left-click all of the time, and then JAWS has no mechanism to tell me where I'm at on the page.  I mention this because it might occur in those sites using that as a feature as well.  If someone could tell me what I'm missing, I'd appreciate it.  Thanks. 

If somebody's already reported this one, please let me know, but I just wanted to say that the version of mojo Portal on my site doesn't seem to like the same-page link functionality with JAWS while trying to do things like managing users and viewing profiles.  For instance, the security and identity section JAWS will say prior to it "same page link", and then when trying to either double click or right-click on it, nothing happens, but rather, the page just sits there.  I don't know why this is because in more cases than not, JAWS works just fine with these type of elements.  If you see anything, or if one of the updated versions has this improved, please let me know, as I need to update my site anyway.  I keep forgetting to do it for some reason.  Thanks so much. 

I've noticed that this thread hasn't had a hit in a little while, so I figured that I'd check in and see if you needed a hand?  Please let me know, and I'll do what I can. 

I will change to use VS 2010

You will need VS 2010, possibly/probably you qualify to get VS 2010 free via the Microsoft Website Spark program.

At some point we will also drop support of .NET 3.5, so we recommend everyone to move to .NET 4 as soon as possible and I would not recommend setting up new sites with .NET 3.5. .NET 4 has been out for more than a year and has many benefits compared to .NET 3.5.

Do you have the same experience with videos directly on the YouTube site? Does the screen reader see the needed buttons on the videos on YouTube site? If it does work better directly on YouTube then there may be something we can do to improve it, but if it works the same there then probably not.

Joe

I just noticed this like a moment ago when browsing the site.  Certain videos on here don't want to play when you have screen reader users around.  I just tried one of the installation videos, and it just sat there.  JAWS 12.0 will recognize that there is a flash object on the page with the notation of "flash start" and "flash end", but that is all.  What would help this situation is if the buttons are labeled so as to allow screen readers to recognize them.  I haven't checked any of the other videos, but I'll keep you updated if I see any more. 

It is a little confusing but it does work as intended.

Users in roles that can upload files can upload files in the editor while editing content, such as through the image dialog or the link dialog which allows browsing the server and uploading files.

In order to have access to the File Manager a user must also be in Roles Allowed to Delete Files in the Editor because the File Manager also allows deleting files.

You can get some extra protection by adding users to Roles that can upload and browse but only in a user specific folder instead of adding them to Roles that Can Browse and Upload, because then at least they are limited to only being able to delete files they uploaded themselves.

Hope it helps,

Joe

I have tried this and it is not working. Is there a webconfig setting or something else that works in conjunction with this to make it work?

Using the instructions to Administration > Site Settings > Security > Permissions > Roles That Can Upload Files I added a custom role to the Roles That Can Upload Files​. But people in that role do not have File Manager available when they login. I tried to access the page directly and recieved an Access denied message.

As I test I temporarily added the user to the Administrators group and when she logged in File Manager was available. So I tried adding one of the built in roles to the Roles That Can Upload Files and then added the user to this role. Still File Manager was not available.

Any help appreciated.

Cheers,
Leah

Guys, any idea about an alternative to this? or any other solution? Please post if you have.

You are talking about the blog not feed manager. In the current release of the blog it links directly to feedburner, nothing changes due to cache, in the new release coming in the next few days it will redirect to feedburner instead of directly linking as discussed in this thread. 

Best,

Joe

the Settings I have are;

Web Site Url:  http://www.fpan.net/fpan-blog.aspx

Feed Url:  http://feeds.feedburner.com/fpan/moiV

Entry Cache Time In Minutes: 1390

When the Entry Cache Time expires, does it reset the feed URLs?

Thanks,

Vince. 

In the Feed Manager settings, I have the "Web Site Url" pointing to my blog page and the "Feed Url" pointing to my feedburner URL.  I have now changed the value in the "Link" column of the "mp_RssFeeds" table to the URL for my blog entry and this works fine.  

Perhaps I haven't configured something somewhere, when I have more time I'll go through the code.

Best Regards,

Vince.

I have added a feed manager module that subscribes to a feedburner feed from my site's blog.   I am having trouble understanding the logic of this configuration. I could have sworn that originally, the feed manager on the home page (http://www.fpan.net) had two links displayed, one to  the feedburner blog and one to my site's blog page.  The feed burner module now shows two links both of which point to the feedburner link.  

Can someone please tell me if (and how) the feed manager can be configured to show the blog page from my site and if there is any advantage to having the feedburner links in the feed manager?

I am using Metaweblog API via Windows Live Writer to publish the blog posts to my site.

Thanks,

Vince. 

mojoPortal Version 2.3.5.4 MSSQL
blog 0.0.1.9
feed-manager 0.0.0.9  
 

After you create an account at JanRain, mojoPortal can do the configuration automatically, just go into Site Settings and click the button as discussed at the bottom of this article:

Change the ascx to an ashx and put that in the Services folder

Add a $.ajax method to call the ashx and populate a div with the result

Added a div and a call to the $.ajax method in the HTML content module.

Unfortunately implementing something like that  where you can use server controls in the editor is a very tall order and not likely to happen any time soon if ever.

Thanks very much for your generous donation, it is very appreciated and makes me wish I had an easy answer for you but I do not. You might look at strategies like implementing json service pages and loading things in the html using javascript that calls the json service, that would be one way to dynamically load some other content and make it re-usable in different places.

Best,

Joe

I have created a site with mojoPortal and one of the pages includes a user control that displays a table from an RSS feed (http://www.fpan.net/international-private-finance.aspx), only at the moment is doesn't, because I don't know how to include the control in the HTML content.

I'm assuming that I can build the page by adding modules, such as:

HTML Content Module
Custom User Control
HTML Content Module

But what I would really like to do is add the user control tag directly into the HTML content, has anyone successfully accomplished this?  I don't particularly want to create a new module for every custom page, I thought perhaps I could include a tag in the HTML that would be replaced with the user control at runtime.

Thanks in advance,

Vince. 

From the management of my own site, I figured i'd report these little things to the community so that maybe the blind community will in turn see them. First and foremost is one thing: when changing site settings, some of the links are same-page links.  I have never been able to click on them by pressing the enter key alone.  JAWS users must right-click on the link and tell it to open in a new window unless you want to be sitting in the same place wondering what's going on.  And one more thing for now. System access users should not be using Mojo Portal's admin interface.  I tried it, and my experience was horrible.  This is no fault of anyone's but those at Serotek.  System Access focuses on the more common applications, and I guess in the minds of it's creators, ASP.net's not in that boat.  Sorry folks.  Well, till later. 

Have a good holiday,

The problem was other, it's now solved. 

Thanks

Thanks for reply.

But I think it's not the solution.

The content inside noscript tag it must only be visible when javascritp is disable in the browser.

Doing that will (wrap it around untrusted content) the content will always be visible.

Thanks again 

Since no script is expected there, there is no real reason to support <noscript> there in fact trying to do so may make it harder to prevent <script>

First, congratulation by this amazing product you have created.

We are creating a portal that must implement accessibility Double A.

And one of point is that we must provide an alternative to javascript, provide a text equivalent with the NOSCRIPT element.

The problem is that the NeatHTML doesn't allow.

Any away to work around?

Thank's in advance 

:)

WOW you have given me a lot to consume and ponder on.  Thanks for the explanation of mojoportals purpose it makes what you put here makes perfect sense how and why things work the way the do.

May I suggest that you take what you have said here and put it in your opening page.  By knowing the overview you note hear would be invaluable for those trying to evaluate your product.

Great stuff
