There has been some upheaval recently about the security of the DNN platform. One of the commercial entities in the DNN community saw fit to send out a communiqué how they discovered ‘numerous’ loopholes and how they could fix them. Aside from the fact that most claims were proven to be false, I’d like to go one step further and argue that DNN is in fact a very secure platform. I’ll start with an excerpt from an article I wrote that was published recently:

Some of you will recognize this. A recurring pattern in DNN module support is to find out what the customer has running in the first place. Not just your own module (i.e. version), but also ‘the bigger picture’.

It has been a while since I took over the DNN Core News module and still there's no new release. This post will explain a little bit what has been happening 'behind the scenes' and try to give some insight into why things can go so slow.

DMX includes numerous ways in which you can extend its functions. In this article I zoom in on making a custom control appear in the ‘Custom Attributes’ list. An example of usage would be for instance using this to display a dropdown filled with data from some other application and storing the selected value with the document.

Today the latest iteration of Document Exchange was released: DMX 04.01.00. This marks the most significant update to DMX 4 to date. The most important difference is the incorporation of a new search engine: Indexing Service.

I've recently mustered up the courage to try out Vista on a machine here. What a nightmare ...
