mojoPortal 2.3.9.7 Released!

It's been a few months since we've sent a newsletter, sometimes we get stuck in our developer hats and just don't get to it. We've actually shipped two releases of mojoPortal since our last newsletter. mojoPortal 2.3.9.6 was released on March 8, 2013, and we just released mojoPortal 2.3.9.7 today, April 30, 2013.

What's New?

Inline editing with CKeditor is a slick new feature enabled in our Html Content feature. You just click right into the content and edit as an alternative to using the edit page.

We also have a new file uploader with support for drag and drop, multiple file selection and a progress bar in modern browsers. This is a new replacement for NeatUpload which provided some of the same functionality but only worked in Full Trust hosting. This new solution works fine in Medium Trust. See more details in the release anouncement blog post.

Other Highlights of interest include:

• Upgrade to the Jan2013 version (from July2012 version) of AjaxControlToolkit. Since this is used also in our add on products Form Wizard Pro, Event Calendar Pro, and Web Invoice Pro, we have corresponding upgrades to those add on products for compatibility with this release of mojoPortal.
• upgrade to CKeditor 4.0.3
• upgrade to jQuery 1.9.1 and jQueryUI 1.10.2
• upgrade from jPlayer 2.1.0 to 2.3.0
• Other small improvements and bug fixes for things reported in the forums since the last release.

See the release announcement blog post for full details.

Arvixe Web Hosting is our top financial contributor to the mojoPortal project. They provide us with a dedicated server for running our site, a very generous affiliate program only available to open source projects, and they also sponsor members of our community as liaisons to help out in general in our forums and especially to help out if anyone has problems with their hosting at Arvixe. If you click one of our Arvixe ads and then purchase hosting and keep it for at least 60 days we get a very generous contribution from Arvixe no matter how low the hosting cost is to you. We think Arvixe is one of the best large shared hosting providers around. If you need hosting click one of our ads and give them a try, by doing so you will also be helping the mojoPortal project.

Carole Bennett of Indigo Tea and Ian McIntosh are our current Arvixe Commiunity Liaisons. Both of them have been writing a lot of great blog posts with good tutorials and tips for mojoPortal on the Arvixe Blog and we are maintaining a list of them here.

For those who would rather have someone else handle all the technical details of their hosting including installation, configuration, and upgrades of mojoPortal, we recommend i7MEDIA. You can let them handle all the technical details so you can focus on your site content. Joe Davis of i7MEDIA is our Community Manager, an expert in all things mojo and an all around helpful guy that you can count on.

We are continually trying to learn from our newsletter process, if any of you notice this message landing in your spam folder please do let me know.

Warm Regards,

Joe Audette
