The latest release is now available on the download page. It has a few bug fixes and includes the new Event Calendar module. Be aware that there is a bug in some versions of mono that affect the new Event Calendar. It may not work for you unless you are using a recent build of mono from svn. It should work for everyone once the next release of mono is available.

PostgreSQL users may see some errors running the script to create the tables. I ignored them and it worked for me. I am trying to figure out how to get rid of the errors but I'm not quite a PostgreSQL guru yet. Once I do figure it out I'll update the scripts.

This is just a minor release. I had a request in the forums about not all the properties for skmMenu working. I just had not exposed them all as properties on SiteMenu which wraps around skmMenu and populates it from the db.

The only files that have changed since version 20040403 are the dll files in the bin folder. Backup your originals and replace the files. you may need to re-start apache.

The full set of properties with defaults for the menu are as follows:

SiteMenu id="SiteMenu1" runat="server" Direction="Vertical"
MenuGridLines="Both"
BorderColor="DarkRed"
BorderWidth="1"
MenuBorderStyle="Solid"
Opacity="100"
MenuFadeDelay="1"
ItemSpacing="0"
ItemPadding="2"
DefaultCssClass=""
CssClass="MainMenu"
SelectedItemCssClass="SelectedMenuItems"
OtherItemCssClass="OtherMenuItems"
DefaultMouseDownCssClass=""
DefaultMouseOverCssClass="MainMenuMouseOver"
DefaultMouseUpCssClass=""
SubMenuCssClass=""
HighlightTopMenu="True"
ClickToOpen="False"
ZIndex="100"


These can be set in the skin file.

I just released a new set of deployment binary packages. The only files that have changed are the dlls in the bin folder.  Its available now on the download page.

The following bugs were fixed.

RSS Feed module didn't work unless the date time format was in GMT

The Register Link was using https even when SSLIsAvailable was set to false.

In the MySQL version, there was a bug in the Gallery that would only effect Galleries not configured in  Compact Mode. This bug was introduced in the upgrade from ByteFX to the newer MySQL Connector.

I recommend you back up your current dlls then replace them with the new ones. You may need to restart apache.

I'm planning a new release this sunday. 

New things to look forward to include support for PostgreSQL thanks to Joseph Hill of GotMono.com.  Also with much thanks to Joseph Hill, a new RSS Feed Aggregation module to allow you to show one or many feeds on a page.  Joseph sent me the code he is currently using on GotMono.com for the bloggers page and I turned it into a module that can be plugged into any page in a mojoPortal site.  You can configure the cache time, the maximum age of posts to show and a maximum number of posts to show per feed and a few other settings.

Also a few bug fixes and improvements.

Well I didn't think I would make a new release one day after my last release but I was able to complete 2 important features yesterday and also found out about a bug in the data layer for MS SQL.

The new release includes the ability to move content modules between pages and also to create "pages" in the menu hierarchy that are just links to other pages which can be either on site or off site.  You can also configure whether to open the page in a new window.  There is a new page setting to Show Child Pages Menu, but this feature is not implemented yet and checking the box will have no effect.

If you installed yesterday's release you will need to add 4 new columns to the mp_Pages table, see the create tables script for details. If you are using MS SQL you should also update the stored procedures.
If you are trying to upgrade from any previous version, be sure and backup both your site and current db before you start making changes in case things get messed up and you want to go back.  Upgrading while the project is in the alpha stage is a manual process, I will try to add some guidlines under the Documentation menu soon.  Eventually I will have an automated upgrade process.

The bug that was fixed in the MS SQL data layer would only have revealed itself if you configured an Html Module for multiple items like articles or announcements.

I also added some documentation to the site today under Documentation > Creating Skins and Documentation > Securing mojoPortal

I will be upgrading this site and my demo sites to the new version sometime in the next few days.  If you are viewing the site while I'm doing the upgrade you may get a page not found error or some other server error but rest assured it will only be for a few minutes when it happens.

Update 3/21/2005
I just finished upgrading this site as well as the demo sites and my personal site to the new version
