In the last days i see a lot of threads about commercial questions, like "subscriptions fees, domain names etc.". My intention is to use IBSW (or DNN or whatever) as a base system for intranet portals. So, i like skinning, multi-layout, but that's not really
interesting for intranet solutions. There are more specific questions like: - how can we manage thousands of users - how can we manage up to 100 security roles - how can we implement workflow functionality - what is about the older announcements (archive view,
who is responsible for archiving, is there an archiving function) - what is about automatically showing top news from different departments on the intranet portal home page - what is about a search function in the active directory via ldap? and i have so many
ideas more. Are you willing to share ideas and code for FREE with me? I'm getting my money from my customers and not from YOU. And so i will share my code for FREE. My site will be running in the next two weeks where you can download the changes i made. Tom
Tom, It seems as if you and me have the same intentions with this code base. I have plans to set up portals for my internal customers at work. I am also using it as a back managemnt tool fo my main web site at work. Your ideas for other functionality are very
interesting and I would be interested in working on those with you. I will freely share ideas with you or anyone else for that matter. I have plans on putting together a site, I have just not had the time to put the content together. The site I'm planning
is more of a hobby and my way of giving back to this communitity and other communities that have helped me. I also get my money from my customers, I don't want the money of other developers. I will share my code also for free, but you may have to view an ad
or two while you are cruising the site. Which will more than take care of my expenses I incur with hosting the site. Bruce
Hi Bruce, great. My site is based on our company's site (so no cost's for me :-)). I have to finish some other things before i can place my code there. If it is ready you are wellcome as others also. So what i did currently is: - creating a property sheet for
the modules. think about the announcement module, there are some settings the administrator can do while other's can add new announcements. i added a column propertysrc in the module definition table, change the proc's to read the new column, make changes
in configuration.vb for the modulesettings, change the desktopmoduletitle.ascx and *.vb to show a small image to access the property page. - creating a global search module. i buy this small module from snowcovered. after that, i found a nearly exactly same
module at rainbow. i didnt't know who is the original author, but i make some enhancements to the code, add a property page to select columns to show, column order, max hits etc. - add a responsibility user for a tab. this user gets emails from my sql server
agent if he didn't change his tab content every 2 weeks :-) this account is alos used in the feedback module as a default. - currently working on: helpdesk system for intranets and a dynamical orgchart. The last one is ready as an ASP solution. It is great.
You select one user in your company and system build's a nice orgchart in the fly with the people who reports to the selected one and the employee who is the boss of the selected one. All this is done via pure html, no grafik etc. It takes me more than one
week to set this up. after converting this module you can use it in your portal. My customers love that module (the asp one) and they will hopefully love the new one :-) What i really miss today (only some ideas): - admin rights for the responsibility user,
so that he can change his tab(s) like the portal admin (add, delete, modify tabs, modules etc.) - personal tab for each user (there was a thread in this forum. i don't remember the name but he want's to create this. my idea is that the user logon and get his
personal tab where he can place modules that get content from other modules, like announcement. but he can also place core modules to save his personal links, events, get access to his outlook etc. - the search module for the ldap directory services - individual
statistics per tab - rule based security, like Admin, Author, Editor, User for every tab in addition to the security already implemented in IBSW wich defined more a general way, like user can see tab or not - and so many more It would be nice to share code
and ideas with you. That makes life easier. Others in this community are wellcome. Tom
Tom, WOW.... you have covered so many areas that I have needed in the past and was never able to implement. I am very interested in what you are doing and looking forward to hear more about that. Will you be sharing your code/modules?
Sleiman, the idea of this forum is to share ideas, code, wishes etc. I learn a lot from this forum and i wanna give something back. so i share my code with all who are interested. As i mentioned before i need some time to set up my portal where you can download
the code. I'm currently working on the implementation.... Tom
Tom this is very intresting to me too, i have an interanet site for a ratailer between me and you it is not realy good - redhat and cgi, + a website makes feel like not to visit again. i did not change anything yet because of the hole system but soon we are
going to Microsoft product wich is my dream. preparing for it very important and working with each other will make easy,
Ooooh, what a night. Setting up my web site to share code with you i make the following changes: - create a table ActionCodes with columns for - actioncode (text) - actionroleid (int) - actionvalidfrom and actionvalidto (datetime) - actiontabid (int) - change
register.ascx and *.vb to add and support a field Action Code - create two new procs to receive a value from columns ActionRoleId and ActionTabID For what is this good? I can send an email to my customers with a valid action code i entered in the actioncodes
table. If these users register to my portal (hopefully) they enter the actioncode. the system assigns the new user automatically the role with value from actionroleid and after registration (public) the user is redirected automatically to the tab with the
value from actiontabid. i added the validfrom and valid to column's to be able to specify a time frame where the action code is valid. If my site is ready you can download it from there. If you don't have time so long, send me an email at tt@NOSPAMdbresource.de.
remove that ... you know :-) Have a nice time in between Tom
Hmmmmm, seems that i'm working alone this night. Last update for this night: - added a column to Table UserPortals to store a tabid. - create a stored proc to read this tabid - change usersdb.vb to call the stored proc - change Register.ascx to show DropDown
with tab names the user can access - change signin.ascx.vb to read this tabid Reason: if the user login he will be redirected to the tab stored in UserPortals. He can change this setting via the registration page (i call it the personal profile). It is beta
but i will finish it tomorrow. Tom
Tom, it seems like you are cooking with gas. Can't wait to see some of your ideas. I've got Juror duty starting tomorrow so I will probably be out so synch for a few days( I.E. No connection). I would like to see the code once you are ready for a beta you can
shoot it to bhopkinsATchat-tec.com as I will hav eto find some way to look at the mail. Bruce
