Just a quick post to mention the things I'm working on.

The biggest thing on the agenda is the e-commerce project which has a due date of March 1st.

I'm wrapping up some work on an automated database update system for easy upgrading. I've got the MS SQL version implemented and just need to translate it to the other data layers.

I've also implemented a few core plumbing items of the planned Site Office feature. I hope to ship a little of it also on March 1, but it will be disabled by default until its a little more complete. Those who want to enable it will be able to do so using the Web.config file. The things we have planned for the Site Office Feature are:

Private Message System
External POP Email Access
Personal File Storage
Contacts
Group and User Calendars

but we will only have a little of that done by March 1

Big Thanks! go out to Alexander Yushchenko and Jesse Englert for all their help testing and reviewing the code from svn.

I finally finished the first draft of documentation for creating mojoPortal skins.

If you have any feedback for how I can improve this documentation or make it more clear, please let me know.

Thanks,

Joe

Just a quick post to mention a couple of new mojoPortal sites.

The first is Living In The Boro, a site I helped setup for my good friend Julie Fischer. I've known Julie and her husband Bill for many years so it was natural that I picked Julie to help sell my house in Tennessee when I decided to move to Charlotte, NC. She did an awesome job and I recommend her to anyone that needs a real estate agent in Middle Tennessee. Julie also does pottery, so please check out her pottery site.

The second is a nice tourist information site for Reunion Island, man I want to go there someday!

I always add sites I know about to the mojo Sites page, but I don't find out about all of them, if you know of any more please let me know.

I just released a new set of files with the following fixes.

The FCKeditor now degrades to a textarea for unsupported browsers like Safari and Opera, and also for supported browsers when javascript is disabled

Fixed issue in Shared Files module where an error would occur when adding a new folder
Fixed issue in Shared Files where pdf files would not open in the browser

Fixed issue where some of the skins had the center column hidden by default, bug was introduced when the hadnling was modified for the RightToLeft skin

Fixed a few minor issues when using custom profile properties based on roles

I implemented a new property for Module Definitions so you can set a default cache time for a Feature and new instances will use this default

No changes for tables this release but if using MS SQL or PostgreSQL you need to run the stored procedure script

In the 2.2 release I added handling to convert dates to the user's timezone. Unfortunately I introduced a bug. In the Forums the MostRecentPostDate is null when you create a new forum because there are no posts yet. I forgot to include handling for null dates in the Forum module when doing the conversion to the user's timezone so when creating new forums the page containing the forum would throw an exception. Since this pretty much made the forum unusable I considered it a significant bug worthy of an immediate fix.

I also fixed an issue when using mojoPortal with Active Directory. This fix required a new column LdapDomain added to the mp_Sites table so I've added an upgradefrom2-2to2-2-1.sql script for each of the data layers. If using MS SQL or PostgreSQL you'll also need to run the stored procedure script. As always be sure and back up everything before doing an upgrade and post in the forums if you run into any problems.
