re: Umbraco or : How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Building Web Sites

Great article! I am a begining programmer and I am trying ot figure out how to do a site for my wife.

I have some .Net experience, played with RoR and spent the afternoon looking into PHP.

RoR does not have any good portals, I don't think I like the PHP language, and there are were several .Net portals to choose from.

This article has convinced me to try Umbraco over DNN, Rainbow, or Mojo.

Thanks!

think it'll be long before you tell people how to add their own dictionaries to it?

it's a good application by the way!

re: Using Embedded Resources for HTML Email Templates

Bob — Thu, 20 Nov 2008 00:33:25 GMT

When working with ASP.NET's MailDefinition property (e.g., from the create user wizard), ASP.NET assumes your email body is in a file. I would like to set the BodyFileName from an embedded resource instead.

I haven't found any way to do this other then to copy the resource to a temporary file. Have you run into this?

As you wrote "DotNetNuke, while always holding a dear place in my heart, was not for this site. I've recommended it in the past, deployed many sites using it, and probably will use it again in the future, but I wasn't comfortable jumping into development of this site with it. I needed a CMS without limitations, and DNN is limited in some areas"

Can you please explain the limitations in detail please...

Hide the folders using windows explorer like App_Code, Images etc that u dont want to recompile again and again.

this will decrease the build time.

the site looks very nice indeed, but when i click any picture i see in the right corner

"jQuery Lightbox Plugin (balupton edition)"

is this by design, or just a small buggie?

(that in firefox 3.x)

That's the wonderfull world of umbraco , extremely extensible, no design limitations, ... .And then there's version 4, be sure to test that out, it has so much improvements !

Hi Brendan,

Maybe you could do a post about the new features when version 4 comes out. I'll keep you updated!

Thanks Everyone!

Ruben,

I've spent some time spelunking around the forums.. Just haven't posted yet. Hopefully I'll be able to give back by posting more about Umbraco in the future. If we can do anything to help you out here or at CodeBetter.Com, please let me know!
