I would like to create a news website, preferably but not necessarily .NET based. I don't want to open a new project in VS and start from scratch, I would like to use some CMS system to create it. It would be very nice if you could direct me to a place where I can find a complete cms skeleton for a general news site which I can customize and launch as soon as possible. I Googled but couldn't find what I am looking for so I thought I could use some help.

Any ideas? Thank you

I've already installed it and bought a book covering DNN applications development. How long does it usually take to build a basic news site using your software?

You can get a skeleton website up in 30 minutes, then spend 3 months looking for skins, there are that many to choose from. If you want to skin it yourself then, less than a week.

file automatically deletes on server

Hi all! I am uploading some documents to my website. I noticed when a file has a size that exceeds 5MB, the file automatically deletes from the chosen directory but those documents of smaller size remain. What's causing this and how can I solve the problem? Please help.

Ask your server admin. The most likely reason is that they have set a file upload size limit of 5MB or thereabouts. If that's not the problem, get them to look in the server logs to see what's going on.

This is not something that ASP.NET provides, there have to be some local policies on your server. Get in touch with your IT guy. Only he can help you.
All the best.

validating input type file in a form (no responses in JavaScript Forum)

Sorry, not sure where to post this, when I was doing C# development, the forum seemed to cover everything where the website stuff seem to be quite subdivided.

Hello I am trying to validate a form that has many field on it.

input type="text" name="sSoftwareType"
input type="text" name="sSoftwareName"
input type="file" name="sFileName"

The form itself validates itself by

form enctype="multipart/form-data" name="Software" action="SoftwareUpdate.php" method="post" onSubmit="return Validate(this);

The JavaScript validation code is

function Validate(f)
{

	if (f.sSoftwareType.value == "")
	{
		f.sSoftwareType.focus();
		return false;
	}
	if (f.sSoftwareName.value == "")
	{
		f.sSoftwareName.focus();
		return false;
	}
	if (f.sFileName.value == "")
	{
		f.sFileName.focus();
		return false;
	}
}

All the input type text are validated fine, the problem is that the filename does not get validated, it is simply ignored.

All I want to do is verify that the file information was selected. ie the user did do a browse and click on a file that gets the data filled in on the form.

It would be nice to do other validation, but I would be happy if I could get help on this basic function.

Thank you in advance

Hi,
Use this below

Oddness that I never noticed before

Working around in some XAML lately and have come across some odd stuff in the way commented code seems to be handled, or rather actually, not handled.

Note: Apparently writing XAML code in the editor is a PITA to get it formatted looking well so you may have to look at my examples a bit...

Just being able to add some typical comments inside some basic XAML looks like so:

<!-- Name Portion [Application Name] -->
<Border x:Name="BrandingBorder" Style="{StaticResource BrandingBorderStyle}">
   <StackPanel x:Name="BrandingStackPanel" Style="{StaticResource BrandingStackPanelStyle}">
      <!-- Logo Picture -->
      <ContentControl Style="{StaticResource LogoIcon}"/>
      <!-- Logo Name -->
      <TextBlock x:Name="ApplicationNameTextBlock" Style="{StaticResource ApplicationNameStyle}" Text="Application Title Name"/>
   </StackPanel>
</Border>

So now, I want to comment out my code as a whole and I try to just wrap my start and end tag inside of its own set of XML comment tags and I get:

<!-- Name Portion [Application Name] -->
<!-- 
<Border x:Name="BrandingBorder" Style="{StaticResource BrandingBorderStyle}">;
   <StackPanel x:Name="BrandingStackPanel" Style="{StaticResource BrandingStackPanelStyle}">;
      <!-- Logo Picture -->
      <ContentControl Style="{StaticResource LogoIcon}"/>
      <!-- Logo Name -->
      <TextBlock x:Name="ApplicationNameTextBlock" Style="{StaticResource ApplicationNameStyle}" Text="Application Title Name"/>
   </StackPanel>
</Border>
-->

Error = Comments cannot contain two adjacent hyphens '--', Two adjacent hyphens '--' must be followed by a close angle bracket character '>' to terminate the comment.

This however is just fine apparently:

<!-- Name Portion [Application Name] -->
<!-- 
<Border x:Name="BrandingBorder" Style="{StaticResource BrandingBorderStyle}">
    <StackPanel x:Name="BrandingStackPanel" Style="{StaticResource BrandingStackPanelStyle}">
       <ContentControl Style="{StaticResource LogoIcon}">
       <TextBlock x:Name="ApplicationNameTextBlock" Style="{StaticResource ApplicationNameStyle}" Text="Application Title Name"/>
    <StackPanel>
</Border>
-->

It just seems really odd that the editor seems to have such an issue with the commenting stuff when you are using multiple comment lines:

<!-- Name Portion [Application Name] -->
<!-- <Border x:Name="BrandingBorder" Style="{StaticResource BrandingBorderStyle}"> -->
<!--    <StackPanel x:Name="BrandingStackPanel" Style="{StaticResource BrandingStackPanelStyle}"> -->
<!--       Logo Picture -->
<!--       <ContentControl Style="{StaticResource LogoIcon}"> -->
<!--       Logo Name -->
<!--       <TextBlock x:Name="ApplicationNameTextBlock" Style="{StaticResource ApplicationNameStyle}" Text="Application Title Name"> -->
<!--    </StackPanel> -->
<!-- </Border> -->

What a real pain...

It isn't the editor - it is the XML specification that deems it not possible to have -- within a comment.

I agree, it is a PITA

Guys, I use a style sheet to display a div as a modal dialog.
It used to work correct but it goes under objects other than HTML just like Flash objects.

i used:

CSS

.modalBackground {
	background-color:Gray;
	filter:alpha(opacity=70);
	opacity:0.7;
}

Help people,so poeple can help you.
