Tips for using BlogEngine Pages

Sun, 23 Nov 2008 04:22:32 GMT

When I switched over to BE my previous experience told me to create separate .aspx pages for stand-alone content. I didn't see the need to use the BlogEngine Pages feature. What I found out when doing things this way was that I couldn't use all of the theme and events that come along with the BE master page. So I reluctantly switched to using BlogEngine BlogEngine Pages instead of adding separate .aspx. After running this way for a while I figured out some things that I thought might help others to know as well.

All my attempts to use custom templates when creating new DNN pages for my portals were frustrating. Even though I exported the template from a page using the Export feature, the new template would not show up at all in the combo box when creating a new page, although it existed in the file system. Even the default template wouldn't show up!

I'm happy to announce a few changes that the PMC agreed upon regarding how Castle Project will be led from now on.

Some unstable projects drag the release of stable ones. We lose momentum and everybody's miserable

NHibernate in Action, Working with persistent objects, Using business

Fri, 24 Oct 2008 03:58:39 GMT

Quote from book: "Notice that it's almost never correct to override Equals() on a subclass and include another property in the comparison.
