Dnn 4.4.1

[Tanzy]

I have finally got around to making a version of DNN 4.4.1 that works on RFH.

1. It requires ASP.Net 2 since it is the version 4 of DNN. (I have not produced a version 3 for .Net 1.1 and will not be)
2. Basically I have created a version that does not do the EventQueue code has been removed from the App Start

I have also added SQL that removed the scheduler that I wrote for the DNN 4.3.6 version. It will not however, remove the DLL it will only remove its entry from the database so that it does not run.
This version does not have as many changes as I made in the last version. Basically, I have just removed the EventQueue code that is located in the Global.asax.vb file in the App_Code directory.
I have also managed to get the FreeTextBox control working in this version. Basically, to get this to work I have downloaded the latest version from www.freetextbox.com and recompiled the DNN Provider for it against this version. This also means that a couple of the other DLLs have been recompiled as well. So the DLL versions in this copy of DNN 4.4.1 are not the same versions as you would get in the Install Version of DNN that you can download from the DotNetNuke website. However, I have not changed most of them just recompiled them. The only changes I have made are those that I have mentioned.
As per normal when I do this
There is no Warrenty with any of this code, I have ran and tested this on RedFox Hosting. If you use it, it is at your risk please always test first.

I have finally managed to get the actual file uploaded.

Done - many thanks for building this distribution.

[Tanzy]

No problem Warren. Next time I will see if I can get it out quicker, but can't promise anything. A lot of the time I do not realise that they have released a new version.

I have been playing about with this and it seems that my install is having a few issues. If you have any issues with this install please let me know. I can't improve it unless I get feedback. I'm very keen to produce a version that we can all use on RFH so please supply me with feed back, good or bad.

Tanzy - i'd be interested in trying this - can I ask which DLLs I'd need to patch in my current installation - I'm assuming it'll just be a one or two file patch?

[Tanzy]

From the top of my head it is about 3 or 4 DLLs. However, I will not have time to check which DLL's they are till the weekend. (Working long days at the moment and not getting home till very late). It also depends on what alterations that you want to try as well.

I may have a further look at things at the weekend. However, I'm not planning to do anything major at the moment since I have just found out version 4.5 is due out about the 15th March.

Thanks.... I'll wait and see on 4.5 :-)

Very new to DotNetNuke, but how would I go about upgrading my site from standard 4.4.1 to this RedFox version without losing what's there already? Will this only work if your site is hosted on RedFox? If so, what is the standard hosting package that people use for DotNetNuke on RedFox?

[Tanzy]

You do not need to upgrade 4.4.1 to this version as such. This version just removes the EventQueue stuff that causes issues on sites running in medium trust.
