Working on it.

Peter

Hi Peter,

I know you're probably working on hundreds of things that have been suggested.  Anyway, it's been two months since your last post, I was was wondering if that feature will be available any time soon.

This is a 'must have' for my client.  If I knew it was coming along in the next few weeks, that would probably be a go for us.

Regards, Adam.

Right ... yes. I plan to release a new DMX within a week or two. Then all addons will be updated and a couple of new ones released like What's New. Sorry about delays ... working to make it better.

Peter

Adam,
Find the what's new addon in the downloads section. Let me know what you think.

Brandon,

Try downloading again. Maybe the .dnn file was not in UTF-8. Mkae sure you have DNN 3.1+.

When viewing the settings:

Error: Module is currently unavailable.

Version 01.00.01 now uploaded.

Peter,

It successfully installs and edits. But I don't see that it is showing the new documents correctly. I have not adjusted the filter and I am only getting documents from 1/16/06 and I have documents that are much newer. Something is wrong. Perhaps you only tested for a certain kind of configuration. I am using the Default DMX portal directory with monthly subdirectories.

Good luck,

Brandon

OK Brandon, I hope I'm there now. Thanks for testing. Find new version 01.00.02. It was not possible to offer the sort order as an option.
Peter

yep! you got it. I think you have some extra space at the bottom of the module. That could be tightened up.

Hi,

i run DMX 03.04.03 on DNN 4.0.3. I uploaded The What's New Addon 01.00.02 without an error. But if i try to add the modul on the page, i don't get an error but the modul is not inserted .

What could be wrong ?

Holger

Peter,

at the installation there was an error:

I'm not sure how this can happen. Something seems to be wrong with your DNN. The DNN installer is trying to add a number to the table ModuleDefinitions which generates its own number (i.e. Identity). You should post this in the DNN forums, maybe they know what's up.

Peter

Peter,
if found the error. I installed some times ago another modul, also called WhatsNew. After deleting that, i can use your Modul now !!!!

But one more question, could you add the same feature as in your normal list regarding the display of the metadata ? If the user clicks on the file-icon, he should see the metadata of that file....

Regards,

Holger

The whole point of the shortlist is that it is only one representation and 'lightweight'. Adding your request (and then the next and the next etc) will bring it to a regular DMX instance. If you need more features use DMX, if you need a link list, use ShortList. That is the point of it.
Peter

During my installation of this add-on, I also had the problem with a violation of UNIQUE KEY constraint 'IX_ModuleDefinitions'. This add-on has caused a conflit with a module that I already have. Basically, it is trying to insert the same "friendlyname" into a table called "ModuleDefinitions".
For those who have installed the "WhatsNew" module from Efficion Consulting, the workaround to this problem is quite simple. You just need to change the friendlyname from "WhatsNew" to something else in the DNN file.

1. Open "Bring2mind.DMX.WhatsNew.dnn" with a Notepad
2. Change the friendlyname from "WhatsNew" to "DMX-WhatsNew".
