I got some more things done today that I wished I had included in the 2.1.2 release so I went ahead and made a 2.1.3 release.

I updated to the new CSS Menu adapter release from Microsoft and by modifying the skins and adding an additional stylesheet I was able to get the menu working correctly in IE7 running on Vista RC1.

I also got the forum notification email modified so the link goes directly to the post which is nice for long threads.

Also found and fixed a few minor bugs that I noticed after deploying the 2.1.2 release to this site.

New files are available from the download page.

I just released mojoPortal 2.1.2

See my previous blog post for release notes.

The next 1.x release will happen when the new Firebird Data Layer is ready, stay tuned for more information on that.

As always if upgrading be sure and backup your site and db before doing the upgrade. If you have any difficulties, post in the forums and I will try to help.

Thanks,

Joe

Hopefully this weekend I will make a new 2.1.2 Release

This release will have no schema changes (though there are stored procedure changes) so it will be an easy upgrade from 2.1.1
Some of the new things

• Improved Module Caching
• New CollapseLinkButton Control in mojoPortal.Web.Controls - this control can hide any other server control using cleint side javascript and css, you just enter the server side id in markup using the ControlToCollapse property. I used this in several administrative pages to hide sections of settings that don't need to be changed often
• A new skin by Jasmin Savard, like the one used on this site
• FriendlyUrls are now automatically created when creating pages
• Blog and RSS Feeds now have friendly urls
• Multi Sites Feature theme caching issue is now fixed and can now run multiple sites in a single application due to improvements in SiteMapProvider configuration
• Users are now logged in automatically upon registration (thanks to Bo Rey for this fix)
• Newest version of NeatUpload
• Several bug fixes
• The VS 2005 Solution now works with the VS Web Server, its no longer neccessary to setup an IIS application, just set your connection string and go

Version 2.1.1 includes the new 2.0 .NET localization model which detects the browser language and uses resource for that language if available. So anyone visiting this site using one of the languages we currently have translations for should see the labels and buttons in their own language.

Currently mojoPortal is translated into:
English
Spanish-Mex
German
Dutch
Turkish
Russian
Czech
Italian
Portuguese (Brazil)


Also this release features a new help system making it easy to add contextual help links anywhere in a page or module with an editing system to make it easy to update or translate the help files.

The Image Gallery also uses a new modal dialog to show images. I've added an image gallery to the MyPage page on this site, click one of the thumbnails there to see how cool the new modal dialog is. The same dialog is also used in the help system.

This will be an easy upgrade as there are no changes to db tables. Users of MS SQL and PostgreSQL will need to run the stored procedure scripts to get the latest procedures.

Access/shortcut keys for all important buttons is another new feature this release. It can be disabled from the web.config file if you don't like it but its pretty convenient not having to grab the mouse for everything.

Version 1.0.4 includes the newest version of npgsql driver for PostgreSQL and a few minor bug fixes.

This release (both 2.1.1 and 1.0.4) is able to run in Medium trust hosting environments.

In the coming 2.1.1/1.0.4 release (this month) it will be possible to run mojoPortal in Medium Trust environments.

I started some new documentation about configuring mojoPortal for Medium trust here:
