Welcome!
The St. Louis DotNetNuke User Group meets each month in Creve Coeur to discuss DotNetNuke. We are a group of people that use DotNetNuke both personally and professionally. Our members consist of primarily developers, but we welcome anyone that is interested in using the DotNetNuke framework.

This month we decided to take a stab at recording the Powershell & DNN talk given by Scott Allender. We broadcast the meeting live using bambuser and also did a screen recording using Camtasia, although the audio for the Camtasia recording didn't turn out too well using the built-in microphone on Scott's laptop. We may make that available in the future if we can get the audio straightened out.View full post

February's St. Louis DotNetNuke User Group presentation covered the basics of jQuery and how to use jQuery in DotNetNuke 4 and 5. Below you'll find both a PDF and PowerPoint version of the presentation. I'd recommend viewing the PPT version as the slides themselves are rather sparse but there are generaly slide notes included. I've also included the relevant code snippet from the DotNetNuke 4 demo below for reference. View full post
