ePICTURE - ELEMENT
Use our AJAX based interface to upload one or multiple pictures. It queues multiple pictures and shows real time upload progress. Optionally, add Watermark and Auto Resize images during upload for web standards while maintaining original aspect ratio and transparency.
Live Content automatically extracts metadata from uploaded images such as title, caption, tags, etc... from many popular programs such as Photoshop, Picassa, Windows Vista and Windows 7.

Optionally, browse existing images on portal. Live Content supports all DotNetNuke directory types, including Secured and Database. Saving your files in Secured database prevents unauthenticated access to full size images (thumbnails will still be visible). Of course, you can also elect to store your images in database rather than DNN File System.
Live Content is integrated with Amazon S3 and also supports Internet URLs for showing pictures.

eVIDEO - ELEMENT
Use our AJAX based interface to upload one or multiple videos simultaneously. It queues multiple videos and shows real time upload progress. Live Content automatically encodes videos from all popular formats to either FLV or MP4 (H.264) format just like YouTube does. Not only that, it will also automatically generate multiple thumbnails for user to select from.

Supports new MP4 (H.264) format which makes Live Content iPhone / iPad / iPod compatible.User Uploads allows your site users to upload their own videos. Live Content also includes Live Content Encoder, a windows application, to quickly and easily encode bulk videos to either FLV or MP4 (H.264) format.

Live Content is flexible. Videos can be created from either existing videos on portal, Amazon S3, or an Internet URL. YouTube integration makes it a breeze to add videos from YouTube. Just provide the URL of the YouTube page and Live Content will do the rest; even the thumbnails are automatically fetched from YouTube.

eCONTENT - ELEMENT
eContent element allows you to overlay any Text/HTML content and therefore its possibilities are only limited by your imagination. It allows you to create stunning tooltips and other Text/HTML driven applications such as announcements, advertisements, product catalogs, and much more...

It is ideal for showing infomercials, system messages, and other important messages when combined with Auto Launch feature. Content will be indexed by search engines since Live Content is designed to be Search Engine Optimized (SEO). Optionally, content can also be indexed by DNN Search.

eMODULE - ELEMENT
eModule element allows you to overlay any existing DotNetNuke Module. It opens endless possibilities to extend your portal in many ways.

Optional View State maintains the state of the popup and automatically launches the module again at postback or page refresh.
An admin can also pass in custom querystring and parameters to embedded modules.

Our entire engine is SQL database driven. Host processes, server services, and even server reboots will not interrupt the send process. The DNN scheduler process will pickup where it left off when interrupted.

Easy Unsubscribe
Many Laws around the world are specific about the management of the Opt-Out process. Automatic tokes, and single click confirmed Opt-out will ensure that you keep users happy while meeting your legal requirements.

Simple Control Panel
As with all our products, we work hard to keep our interface simple. With this application we use the traditional stacked control panel.

Unsubscribe Override
In some situations we know that communication to everyone on your lists is vital, so we have included the ability to override the unsubscribed people to contact them in an emergency.

Send .doc or MHTML Messages
You can send a Microsoft .doc, .docx, MHTML, or MHT file directly from the campaign manager. These file types will where necessary automatically be converted to a single file web page and sent. This is the same method as Office Mail Merge.

Dynamic Email Content
We have included the ability to generate true dynamic content into your email messages. Link directly to RSS content either from other modules on your site or external RSS feeds. The data will be dynamically updated into your email content at scheduled send time.

Included Images
Single File Web Page messages created in Word, will automatically include in it's send package the images used in the email. This ensures that even offline, your email messages will have rich visual content. It also ensures a consistency in visual presentation at the user end across a wide range of email applications.

Personalized Email Content
We have a rich profile token system that allows you to use any profile item data, including custom profile data to generate unique specific data to individuals. "Dear John, we have your primary phone number as...."

SQL Integration
Without SQL integration, you can use SQL code to reference data stored in any SQL database. This allows code happy developers to use our module to reference other SQL data stores, including non DNN based data.

DNN Token Content
We have also tapped into all the defined DNN tokens. So any DNN token can be used to create dynamic content within your email messages.

Mailing Lists
You can manage your own custom mailing lists. Adding via CSS or Excel data a range of profile and email data.

Batched Processing
The send method will batch process on scheduler system. Allowing throttling and control over the send process.

List Cleanup

DNN Security Roles can be used to select specific user groups to send to in a campaign. Use none, one or all your different security role groups at one time.

Bounce back Protection
We have the built in ability to monitor or monitor and manage a pop3 email address. Our application will look specifically for bounced email messages (distinguishing between normal email, out of office email etc) and add the bounced email messages to a bounce list with count. You can then specify that when a certain count is reached, these email addresses should be dropped from future campaigns.

Select Custom Lists
Select from your custom created lists either separately or in conjunction with the DNN Security roles to generate a combination of lists to send to.

Bounce Management
You can manage the bounce list from within the module, adding editing the bounce count or removing addresses from the bounce list.

Exclude Via Security Roles
You can select from your DNN security roles the roles you wish to exclude from a send. For example, you could select to add all Registered User, but select to exclude all Staff Security Role

Scheduling
You can deliver immediately or schedule a campaign for delivery later. You manage the kickoff time and the scheduler will run when necessary and start the send process.

Exclude Via Custom Lists
You can also exclude people biased on your custom lists. For Example you may have a list of people interested in hearing about Weekly Specials, but you don't want them to hear about your Monthly Specials. Exclude the custom list and know that they will be excluded from that send.

RSS Fed Content
You can create, manage and token feed RSS content into the body of your email campaigns. Allowing you to feed dynamic content to your email recipients.

Linked Survey Support
You can drive users with tokens to custom surveys, providing them with the profile data they need to complete the survey as a registered user.

Duplication Removal
This we Love. After all the various sources of email addresses are pooled together into the module for sending, Duplications are removed and people will only get a single message, even if they appear on different lists or imported contact data. How Cool is that!

Integrated Microsoft CRM Support
We have a suite called Interactive CRM Portal that extends Microsoft CRM Dynamics Live service. This module is an integrated part of that suite that is two way synced with CRM marketing lists and the "Do Not Bulk Email" unsubscribe.

Track Emails Read
Naturally we track a range or matrix data, including who opened your email messages, how long they opened it for, the number of messages sent, bounced, excluded, new opt outs, and links clicked.

Set Default From Email Address
We have settings that include setting the reply to email address. So that monitored email addresses with the bounce monitoring system can correctly access the bounced email messages. Default options make it easier for staff and others to get these setting correct.

Auto Link Thumbnail Creation
All the links or URL's in an email message will be automatically generated into a thumbnail of that page. This helps you understand the link tracking data by way of automatic visual presentation.

Scheduled Send Time
Campaigns can be set to run at times and dates. Allows you to be out of the office when a campaign is running off your website.

Track Links Clicked
Any Links in your email message are automatically tracked. No need to put tracking tokens etc into your message. We do it automatically. You can see who, when, browser, and ip, who clicked the various links.

Automatic Campaign Catch-up
Allow members subscribing a list or role to catch up on past email campaigns automatically, with the past time (e.g. 6 months of news letters) and frequency (2 per week) able to be set.

Create Nested Campaigns
You can use the link tracking data to generate a nested campaign. Send a follow up message to all the people who were interested enough in a link from the first message that they clicked it. A truly powerful sales tool indeed.

SMTP Flexibility
You can accept default DNN SMTP settings, or set a number of your own SMTP servers, and specify the how the servers should work (sharing the load or in a backup mode)

Opt-In Registration
Included in the module package is a separate Opt-In module. This allows you to create custom lists and link them to the Opt-In module. Allowing your users to select and manage the lists they are opted into.

SMTP Set Limits
You can specify that for each campaign only a certain number of messages should be sent via a specific SMTP server, allowing you to use servers with daily limits like Gmail servers.

Multiple Opt-In
Users can Opt-In to non, one or many lists. Remembering that duplication removal is automatic at send time, you can punch out an email to all lists, and people subscribed to multiple will receive a single email.

SMTP Specific Domains
You can specify that a particular SMTP server should handle specific email domains e.g. Gmail servers handle all mail traffic to email ending in .gmail.com.

Opt-In Auto Notification
The Opt-In module can auto reply to the Opt-In process to ensure that users are confident about their opt in process.

SMTP Failover
You can have a primary SMTP mail server, and specify one or a number of backup servers. This way if one fails, the send process will move on to the next to try sending.

Opt-In Account Creation
We have even made it possible to automatically create a DNN account for people who Opt-In to a list. This is a powerful way of drawing people to express interest in products or services, but capturing a relationship with them into your DNN site without requiring them to re-enter all their details.

Free Updates
We have a policy that currently allows unlimited free updates. Read the policy here:

Feedback Designer is a DotNetNuke Feedback Module / Reply form. It is a premier DotNetNuke (DNN) module that is written specifically to give users the ability to add a comprehensive feedback module into any DNN web site. The module is compatible with all recent version of DotNetNuke. The module is easy to install, easy to administrate, and even easier to use. Because we recognize that there is a variety of users who will use this module, from simple to advanced users we have focused much of our effort on making the module easier to user and more feature rich.

HTML in Form

This module is to fill the gap with the DNN feedback module. The idea is that most users creating a web site for business or pleasure will want to place a form to allow email contact from the site.

The reason it is better to have a form on your web site rather than an email address is to avoid spam, look professional, and ask specific questions.. Any time you have an email address viable on your site, that address will get picked up by malicious users (usually with automated spiders) and added to spam lists. Once this occurs, the work of spam in your email box is about to begin.

To counter this, and give a more professional feel to your site, it is best to offer users a form that in turn sends email directly to you, without revealing to the world your email address.

This is where the "Complete Feedback" module for DNN comes in. Drop this little baby in your site. Configure it to ask users for specific fields of information. Configure where the completed forms will be sent. And you are done.

We have found that our clients include Club, and Associations, Schools all the way through to small business. Anyone who want to keep an easily managed dynamic web site. We have several hundred satisfied clients of our earlier version "Complete Feedback Designer" and now we offer a far more developed product.

Feature Highlights -It is not easy to list all of the features, however we will try to list the major product features below.

Easy to Use This module will install on it's own, or upgrade an existing instillation of "Complete Feedback Designer". You install is as a PA for DotNetNuke, and insert it as a module on any page. Simple to configure with simple menus for settings. Small and Fast Even though the module is feature rich, we have worked hard to keep the ASP.NET 4 code to a minimum. This means the module will run fast on DNN.

Documents Document Exchange (DMX) is the premier document management solution for the DotNetNuke® platform. It has found its way on intra- and extranets across the globe and in all industries. This even includes installations in high security environments such as the security- and armed forces. We are proud of our customer base and our association with the leading open source CMS on the Windows Stack: DotNetNuke®. In fact our founder, Peter Donker, is a core team member of this CMS and actively contributes to its development.

As one of the longest running and most successful commercial module projects on DNN we feel we have found a solid, long-term business model in the DNN market. We sell generic modules like Document Exchange for the DNN platform and we provide consultancy and custom development. DMX's unique architecture is geared toward customization. Whereas the baseline product is already a complete document management solution, together with DMX, DNN becomes a 'document management framework' allowing the building of new applications on top of it. Every day we deliver custom solutions that extend DNN/DMX functionality.

But don't take our word for it. Take a look for yourself. Browse the presentation, the demo, the forums and download the module from this site and try it out.

Cloud Provider DNNGlobalStorage : Cloud Based DNN Folder Providers by Evotiva

DNNGlobalStorage expands your DotNetNuke 6 storage options beyond your Web Server, enabling a 100% integrated way to have your files wherever you want. It is a set of folder providers which allows the integration of special, external, and cloud based file systems out of the box. For example: Windows Azure, Amazon S3, Dropbox, Box (formerly Box.net), FTP locations, and UNC paths.

We have used it and trust that it works perfectly - see properties.co.uk and how the property images are coming from the Amazon Cloud rather than the server image folder and how it can free bandwidth and cpu overhead to allow seriously large number of hits on the site without lose of bandwidth.

General Features (applies to all the DNN Folder Providers)

Easy to integrate into your DotNetNuke 6+ Installation (it is a set of DotNetNuke folder providers).
This is the first and original product, where the ideas come from.
Allows core and 3rd party modules to utilize externally-persisted files (on Windows Azure, Amazon S3, Dropbox, FTP, BOX, Windows UNC, etc.) without any modification.
Allows multiple instances of all providers pointing to different storage locations. This means, that you can connect your site to different sources of files, even of the same kind. E.g. you can have many different Windows Azure (on different subscriptions/containers), Amazon S3 (each one to different buckets), Dropbox connections (each one to different Dropbox accounts), Box connections (including the free 5Gb accounts), many different FTP connections, and various local or network paths mapped (Windows UNC).
Option for Read Only access: If it is needed or desired, it allows you to connect to a data source in 'read only' mode, ensuring that the connected storage will not be updated in any way.
You have fine control over how the URLs for the files will be provided.
Option to hide the file's true location. Regardless of the storage provider's accessibility settings, the files will act like served directly from your web site (not linked from their real location).
When this option is enabled, end users will never know where the files are truly located.
Files are stored with the proper 'Content Type' (MIME type) set.
Behind the scenes DNNGlobalStorage is doing things impossible to do manually linking to the remote locations (Azure, S3, Dropbox, FTP, BOX, etc.) I.e. the files do not have to be set for anonymous (public) access, and DNNGlobalStorage can generate secure links for them.
Customizable root folder: For all folder providers, you can choose which (remote) folder you would like to act as the root folder regarding the DNN site.
Built-in auto-tuning performance hints (catching features) for cloud connections (e.g. Dropbox). There is no need to setup explicit settings.
It integrates with the DNN 6+ Instrumentation (Log4Net) feature, for easy logging and troubleshooting.
User Interface 100% localizable.
It does not require any special web browser configuration (like Popups enabled).
It does work on 'medium trust' hosting environments. (*)
It does work under .NET 3.5 (2.0), .NET 4.0 or later.

Windows Azure DNN Folder Provider

Allows multiple subscriptions/containers connections for the same DNN portal.
Windows Azure development storage is supported. This allows integration with development storage on your local development environment.
Allows the creation of Azure Containers straight from DNNGlobalStorage, specifying its accessibility level (Private, Public Files, Public Container).
Option to generate secured and time limited Windows Azure URLs, or it can be configured to provide anonymous (public) URLs.
Allows the configuration of custom domains, which means that you can configure DNNGlobalStorage to provide URLs like "http(s)://storage.example.com/...", and to use Windows Azure's CDN features.
The 'time to live' for the secured Windows Azure URLs generated by the application is customizable.
Option to define a custom root folder to act as the root regarding the connection from this web site. This allows you to provide a segmented view of your Windows Azure Container, instead of providing access to all its content.

Amazon S3 DNN Folder Provider

Allows multiple S3 accounts/buckets connections for the same DNN portal.
You can create S3 Buckets straight from DNNGlobalStorage.
You have the option to generate secured and time limited URLs (this is the default setup) – anonymous access to your S3 bucket is blocked –, or you can also configure it to generate anonymous S3 URLs.
The 'time to live' for the secured Amazon S3 URLs generated by the application is customizable.
Option to configure the Amazon S3 URLs to be standard (when the file to be linked has anonymous access enabled), instead of secured and time limited.
The style for the Amazon S3 URLs generated by DNNGlobalStorage can be customized. Three URL formats are available, including the option to generate branded URLs by means of DNS CNAMEs.
Option to configure a custom 'Service URL'
The files being handled by the system, which are residing in an Amazon S3 bucket, can be configured to use "Reduced Redundancy Storage"
Amazon S3: You can choose any (already created) S3 folder to act as the root folder regarding the connection from this web site. This allows you to provide a segmented view of your S3 Bucket, instead of providing access to all its content.

Dropbox DNN Folder Provider

Allows multiple Dropbox account connections for the same DNN portal.
It supports the two Access levels provided by the Dropbox API: 'Full Dropbox', or 'App folder'.
Option to define any (already created) public or private Dropbox folder to act as the root folder regarding the connection from this web site. This is especially useful to share Dropbox folders with other applications. You can set 'Full Dropbox', but providing a segmented view of your Dropbox space contents, instead of providing access to all the content.
You can connect your web site with Dropbox private files without explicitly sharing Dropbox files or folders.
Allows to generate temporary (one time usage) URLs to access files on private folders.
By means of the Dropbox integration, you can implement a simple, secure and versioned documents library, where you in addition can update the documents straight from your desktop or mobile device.
Option to generate public Dropbox URLs (for files on public folders).

Box DNN Folder Provider
