Welcome to issue 41 of DNN Creative Magazine

In this issue we demonstrate how to upgrade DotNetNuke. We demonstrate how to use the Auto Merge Method for upgrading versions 4.6.2+ and the Manual Method for all versions of DotNetNuke. We also continue with the DataSprings Dynamic Forms module tutorials, this time we cover Completion Events and using Third Party Email Services.

First of all we cover DataSprings Dynamic Forms Completion Events. We take you through how to create a Dynamic Form Completion Event and show you how Completion Events can be used to redirect a user to a URL or page, send an email, add a user to a DNN security role and execute SQL and HTTP Post; which enables you to post data from your form to another URL.

Following this we demonstrate how Completion Events can be used to send user details to a third party email newsletter service such as AWeber.

Next we show you how to upgrade DotNetNuke using the Auto Merge Method which is available from version 4.6.2 onwards. This method of upgrading is much easier and quicker than it was in previous versions of DotNetNuke. This tutorial demonstrates the steps required to upgrade live DotNetNuke websites from v4.6.2 to v4.9.1 and then onto v5+.

We also demonstrate how to upgrade DotNetNuke using the Manual Method. This method of upgrading will work for any version of DotNetNuke and this is the method you have to use for upgrading any version below 4.6.2.
