3 Steps to AJAX-Enable Apps and Modules in DNN (200-400)

DNN has been plagued with slow editing experience since DNN 3 - mostly because of the WebForms Postback system. 2sxc has fixed most of this by now, getting all UI actions to flow in less than 1 second; and Content-updates all reload immediately using AJAX.

Intro to the DnnMDesign theme for Dnn

DnnC MDesign theme for Dnn To follow up the FREE DnnBootster theme I decided to take it 1 step further with the new FREE, Open Source theme ‘DnnMDesign’.

So what is different with the DnnMDesign theme I hear you ask, well the DnnMDesign theme uses Bootstrap v3.3.6 just like the DnnBootster them but this time I have added an extra css framework so that you have the look and feel of ‘Material Design’.

Using App Data Outside of 2sxc - in Razor, Custom WebApi, Skin or another Module (300)

Sometimes you want to leverage 2sxc to create a solution, provide data input etc. but want to output or re-use the data in your own Module, Skin, Script or something else. This is easy to do.

We are proud to announce (again on international star-wars day) the Blog App. It's pretty cool, and the best thing is that you can mix it with other apps, or just change it to be anything you want.
