hello Jeremy, i have published my website based on your customization of personal web starter kit on godaddy. But i dont know my all websites works fine, but this website that is based on your customization of personal web starter kit works really slow. Whenever i try to open the website it takes atleast 2-3 min to open and many pages on the website also works really slow. why ?

first of all i would like to thank you, you have spent so much of your time for customizing this personal starter kit , it looks great I tried to run your project, it is running perfectly fine, but i have some issue regarding database: 1) i want to see database tables , SPs etc but i don't know everytime i try to open the database in VS 2008 (in solution explorer) it gives me error message "The database version is not supported" , i am using Visual Studio 2008 professional version I even installed SQL Server 2005 for this and tried to attach personal.mdf database with it then it gives me error message saying " the database you're trying to open is 655 version, you can only open 611 or below) Then i installed SQL Server 2008 but in that it gives me version not supported, please guide me how i can open the database ? 2) On the homepage > in the photo section > The project is taking random pictures from the album but i would like to limit it with only 1 album of my choice so that this feature picks randow photos from that album only, please guide me how to go about it. 3) The pages like guestbook, contact me , or with any new registration notification messages etc goes to admin e-mail address right ? where i have to specify this admin e-mail address ? Is this the location where i have to specify e-mail address ? <mailSettings> <smtp from="youremail@yourdomain.net"> <network host="smtp.@yourdomail.com" userName="youremail@yourdomain.net" password="AdminPassword" /> </smtp> </mailSettings> and this is for new registration notification : <add key="AdminEmail" value="youremail@yourdomain.net"/> , is it correct? sorry for my long question i am new in asp.net technology, please guide me in a right direction i have also sent you a private message on asp.net, if possible please

Hi Jeremy: First of all, thank you so much for all the great work. There are very few people like yourself who dont mind sharing their knowledge. Second, I am interested in usermanagement and blog part of your site. Can I use your code on my personal site? I will give you all the credits that you deserve. Thanks again...

TimTaylor, I'm sure it is possible to create an MS Access version of the database. I have no experience with MS Access and cannot explore this at the present time. There may be some time of conversion tool out there to convert a SQL Server database to MS Access.

Hi Jeremy, First I would like to thank you for providing the Personal Web Site Starter Kit. I appreciate all the effort that went into this. I am trying to create a website for a nonprofit organization using your Personal Web Site Starter Kit. I am running into issues with SQL Server and the database in the Starter Kit. Would it be possible to create a Starter Kit that uses a MS Access DB? Thank you!

Hi ignore last comment - managed to change the permissions on upload and albums folders and everything ok. Had to set the iis user to have permissions if anyone is interested :)

Hi Jeremy, I dont seem to be able to find where the setting is for me to configure my web app to allow creatuion of directories. The only setting available is CAS Trust level which is set to full. Any ideas? I am using 3essentials as an ISP. Regards, Paulc

roxana said...

Hi, thanks for all your wonderful work on this site. I notice your gallery has the same issue mine does. When lytebox is not enabled, and you select a picture to view in the details page, the correct picture does not always come up (just click on the first chihuahua in your dog album). It seems the detail page chooses the picture based on the "Page" querystring attribute and not the "PhotoID" querystring attribute, and this is so that the next and previous buttons work. Even though I changed the stored procedure, GetPhotos, to order by PhotoID asc instead of by caption, I don't understand why the gallery page (photos.aspx) isn't sorted by PhotoID-- this would help fix the issue of Details.aspx showing the correct photo with the correct page. I've only been messing around with the site for a day or so, do you have any insight on how to fix this?

Friday, January 02, 2009 9:55 AM

paulc said...

Thanks Jeremy will have a look at changing the permissions - will let you know how I get on...

Friday, January 02, 2009 1:48 AM

jeremy said...

paulc, The problem is most likely that the application does not have permissions to create files and folders on the server.

Thursday, January 01, 2009 1:38 PM

paulc said...

fantastic site and everything working well except the images in the albums. I can create an album but dont seem to be able to upload any pictures to the album itself. <P> I tried uploading images to the upload folder which displays the images on the edit album screen - but when I click import selected or import all the screen takes a couple of secs and then refreshes - no images are uploaded. If I try and add an image manually I get the exact same outcome - no images. <P> I have read that you created an appsetting in the web.config for the album location and when I create a new album - ID 7 for example - there doesn't appear to be a folder 7 under the albums folder. <P> Any ideas??

Has anyone gone through and adjusted all of the style sheets to display the resume page properly? I haven't had much luck.

Tuesday, October 28, 2008 11:17 AM

Scott Skilton said...

Hey Jeremy, First of all great work on the starter kit, I've used it for my website (www.skilts.com). Question... if you try to access a page as a registered user that does not have access to that area, you receieve a nasty error instead of a 'access denied' or something similar. The exact error is "Object reference not set to an instance of an object" in login.aspx line 15. Could you please point me in the right direction in terms of wrapping something friendlier around this???? thanks!

phikai said...

Jeremy, it's been quite a while. Glad to see things are still going strong in your neck of the woods. I'm not sure if you've done an updated package since last time I was here, and if you have that might be the place for me to look...Anyway, it looks like GoDaddy doesn't allow use of their SMTP relay anymore so all the e-mail functions of my site have stopped. I use gmail, but I don't know if you've figured out SSL support or not. If you have any ideas that would be great...feel free to e-mail me. Thanks ~Kai

Hey Jeremy been a while wanted to say hi and also ask you a question. If i wanted to add a page to my site and need a textbox that will allow me to enter Html code so I can embed videos like on my site www.turnernetwork.org. How would I set this page up. Cause I want to make it secure so that you have to log in to see not like the front end blog where it is ope to the public. I hope I have explained my self if not let me know.

I am working on a multi-language version of the PWS (in C#). The current version is English only, and is a mix of the original PWS, Your User Management and Blog systems (translated into C#), most of the Media Handling from Matt Gieselman (at one time available for download), and my own extensions (including a Guestbook section and some server controls). As I am working on the new version, I am keeping track of the changes made in some articles that I want to publish with the new version, and provide some code for downloading. As quit a bit of the code originated with you, I don't want to include that without your consent. (As I did not find any specific terms for doing so). Obviously, I will give you credit for your work, would you decide to allow me to include such code.

Matt Morrison said...

Hi Jeremy, Nice to see the new look and the long awaited 2.8 I'll be sure to tinker with that in the near future. I like the new look but I think I'm going to try and go for one with a larger width as my blogs get squashed and wrap which doesn't look to good when writing code. Actually, have you looked into a better control than freeTextBox that allows you to enter a code paragraph much like www.asp.net? But congratulations on all the hard work!

Tuesday, September 11, 2007 4:19 PM

Balaji said...

Hello Jeremy, I downloaded the Starter kit version 2.8. I want to know the username and password to login into the site as Admin and modify it. I have implemented version 2.7 of your code. Also can you please tell me where exactly i have to modify for the mail server to keep working(Currently it is not working - i modified the webconfig file - no success) on which pages i need to fix this? Do i need to include any further code for doing this? Regards

I was going to wait but I managed to corrupt my own database on my previous version by attemptng to put some embed code from Youtube site into my blog as follows : ....................... ..............<object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/tm6Qc5qK5yA"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/tm6Qc5qK5yA" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed></object> .................... This just seemed to corrupt my blog database so I thought I would upgrade (though I realise this might not sort the problem as it is standard comment box code). I didn't actually have a recent backup database of my site so my fault... I should know better....I thoughts on the above problem at all? I appreciate it may not be something that can be resolved though it might be worth mentioning in your blog if no resolution can be found immediately as it causes the home page to error. I didn't have the appropriate SQL Server 2005 tools to resolve my problem alas. Resorted to a March version of my site until I upload 2.8.... Other than that, your 2.8 version looks good so far though I have to put it online as yet which shouldn't take me too long... liked what you've done with it..................... Oh.. just one other thing.. I have a vague memory that there was a parameter which dictated how many blog posts were allowed on the home page for the centre column. I have either imagined this or just plain forgotten it... I have been through web.config and global.asax etc. but with no luck. Is there such a param?

Thank you for the code, For people struggling with the database deployment to godaddy hosting; This is what i did; I used Microsoft SQL Server Database Publishing Wizard 1.1. You can find it at Microsoft.com. And read this help file in godaddy explaining how to use it. http://products.secureserver.net/products/hosting/PublishingWithDPW.htm (Publishing a Database Using the Database Publishing Wizard)

HE DOES IT AGAIN!! Jeremy you are really great at supporting a wonderful product that you provide to the ASP.Net community. The way you implemented the radio buttons for lytebox is great and the new user management system is very nice too. Great work once again!!! I'm still getting stop scripts with FTB in Firefox, but if you click center justify and then left justify before you do anything else on that page you don't get an error...o well not your fault. Great work and keep it up!!

Hi Jeremy, Thanks for approving my registration. I wanted to take a look at your code for the personal web site. Being new to .net I set up a site using the microsoft-supplied code for the personal web site and went through their "extending" tutorial. The content management isn't working and adding new users seems to crash the entire application. Right now I am not sure whether the issue lies with the code or the way I have my server set up. I thought that taking a look at your code might be a step in the right direction. All the best, Matt

Hey Jeremy, I brought up an issue with the your site's FreeTextBox not working in Firefox and I just wanted to let you know you don't need to change it next time around. I fixed this by simply downloading the newest FreeTextBox and replaced it with the old one and it works now in Firefox. I detailed it more at my personal site, www.sdotcire.com. Thanks again for the great package.

I'm using a gmail account and have it checked to require authentication, but I'm not sure if the authentication settings are correct. It requires some specific ports and SSL...is that supported or is there something I can do to make that work?

Think the site is awesome. One question - how do you get the image popup in the photo galleries instead of going to the details.aspx page as in the standard personal starter kit - is it the Ajax animation control?

Monday, June 18, 2007 8:24 AM

Knut Vidar Draget said...

Hi Jeremy. Thanks for the Enhanced Starter Kit. I have translated it to Norwegian (where I live). My problem now is that my server Webhost4life is located in US, so date and time in my blog are in US format. Do you have an idea how I in ASP.NET 2.0 can get regional settings from the client pc?

Hi Jeremy! This enhanced starter kit is really amazing. You have probably houndreds of hours of hard work behind you. You are a good hearted guy sharing this with others :-) I'm pretty new to ASP.NET and found the original Starter Kit very useful in learning. Your Enhanced Kit will probably give me a really boost in the learning process. I had a lot of problems uploading my original Kit to my Host because they had some lousy sql server 2000 and a crappy controlpanel (and I'm a crappy programmer..). I have today ordered the advanced plan package at Webhost4life. I have registered at your site, but awaits you to activate the account so I can start downloading your enhanced kit. Regards from Norway :-)

Hey Jeremy I have a question for you. Again thank you for the code. I have been trying to get the email to work but no luck. When someone registers and I approve them the email function is not sending me or them an email. <system.net> <mailSettings> <smtp from="dan@turnernetwork.org"> <network host="relay-hosting.secureserver.net" userName="dan@turnernetwork.org" password="XXXX"/></smtp> </mailSettings> </system.net> This is my smtp setup with godaddy, do I have the settings wrong? Am I missing something? and after I put in these settings is there anything else i have to change anywhere else? I have been trying to get this to work so that I can also do a password recovery and change password. Any Suggestion would help on any of the three things I am trying to do but most important the email.

Hello Jeremy, Good going on this PSK. I would like to ask for a little more favour. Does your download come alongwith Google Adsense code also. Since i have already my site approved as a google adsense, i still do not know, how to place those codes. It would be great if you can kindly give those source codes also to implement in our site too. Thanks in advance.

jeremy said...

slipstream77, all you need to do is add "Default" to the first row of the ThemeName field in the site_Settings table. Note that the site_Settings table is a configuration table that should only ever have one row.

Hey Jeremy, Thanks again I figured out how to create the tables and everything on godaddy. I hate to hit you up for this but i get this error The file '/Master Pages/.master' does not exist. I saw in a post that you said to manuelly set the theme. I am sorry to ask such a bone head question but can you walk me through it? I have opened the Database and found site_settings this is where i am lost what do i put where?

I've downloaded your site and had it working. However it seems that I've done something the has caused it to no longer work. I've redownloaded your code again but still recieve the same message. Any ideas? Timeout expired. The timeout period elapsed prior to completion of the operation or the server is not responding. Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code. Exception Details: System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: Timeout expired. The timeout period elapsed prior to completion of the operation or the server is not responding.

Thanks for the source code!! I've been slowly converting portions of it to C# and adding to my site. If you want the source to pass along let me know. I've added the photo management stuff, album categories, guestbook and the beginnings of user management. DaveBevan.com

Really enjoy what you've done with the Personal Website Starter Kit! Have you thought about extending the Club Site Starter Kit? I'd be really eager to see what you could do with that. Keep up the great work.

When creating your password, the password must contain at least 7 characters and at least 1 character that is not a letter or a number. So valid non-alphanumeric characters are # $ @ ! etc.

can't register but I'd like too. Says: Password length minimum: 7. Non-alphanumeric characters required: 1. help!

Hi Jeremy I am currently on an asp.net course and one of the attendees pointed me to your starter kit. I will be hosting this on my own SQL server 2005, and have run the scripts to create the tables etc. However, I seem to be having trouble configuring the application to use the SQL server rather than the express edition. I have changed the web.config to the correct strings, although there seems to be an issue with app_data. Do you have any pointers for correcting this problem.

Jeremy said...

Harry, I'm not aware of my code being converted to C#. You could be the first if you went after it. There are portions of code in my site that I converted to VB.NET from C# using the following online converter. So a person could do the same to convert the whole project to C#. http://www.carlosag.net/Tools/CodeTranslator/Default.aspx

Hi Jeremy. most excellent site. i would love to install it on my host. do you know if anyone has it available in C#. i'm really wanting to learn C# rather than vb.net at the min. keep up the great work H

Hi Jermey I like what you have done with your site. I have been having trouble with finding a reputable isp but after looking over your site I think I just my try your provider. I and I won't forget to use your link when I do. I have posteded a website over at vwdhosting and finaly got a chance to see this website in action. I like it a lot.

Jeremy; You seem to be the most knowledgable user of VWD around, perhaps you can help me get access to the properties of my page elements as discussed in a post to the PSSK forum. Your PSK run on my desk machine does not show properties in SOURCE mode (no sites do) but it does on the laptop. Where's the GD switch?

You are right that it is not filtering out categories marked private. I will look into fixing this issue. Thanks for pointing it out.

Wednesday, January 17, 2007 9:06 PM

dancorson said...

Hi Jeremy, thanks for making your code available. I have a question about the album category page. It is displaying a private album category, but showing no photos. If I have a private category with a private album, there should be no trace of it until someone is logged in. Any idea on how to keep private categories and albums from being visible?

Hi Jeremy, I just signed up for your site to download the User Management files, but I had to leave a note about your beautiful baby! Congratulations! I became a father almost a year ago now and boy is that ever a life changer. Or I should say life enhancer :) I hope all is well with mother and child and wish you all the best in enjoying the (first?) most important computational unit you'll ever build and program (raise?) ;) All the best, Patrick

Hi Jeremy... I have just downloaded your VB Personal Starter Kit and I must say, it certainly is a major contribution to ASP.NET 2.0 learning (and then some). What better way to learn the technology than to play around with something that is actually very useful for Personal/Business use. This was the original intention of the first kit offered on the http://www.asp.net site and you have just extrapulated it off the edge of the graph with an offering that is quite humbling to an IT guy like me, your's is the benchmark. I will be printing and sifting through the code and looking at your approaches to learn more and hopefully (in the not too distant future) adding extra functionality. First things first, as a guy who has spent 16 years on Mainframes (HP NonStop formerly Tandem with COBOL85, TAL, SCOBOL, NonStop SQL etc.) I need to get up to speed by progressing my Static HTML/Javascript site ( http://www.mawhitfield.com/ and http://www.worsleypark.info/) to a more impressive ASP.NET site by using your offering as a guide and quickstart. Keep up the good work and look forward to calling by to your Website every know and then to see the latest additions and ventures. Regards NonStopMark. PS. Like what you did with the users Management... so many entries on the asp.net forum here...Implementing a Calendar ala the Starter Club Website would be a nice addition but hey, you've already contributed so much so that kinda sounds cheeky :-)

Hi Jeremy, I've been having a few problems with ASP.NET 2.0 and the profiles part of things and thought I'd run this question past you (love the blog by the way!) I have a custom property called "FullName". I have a form that allows logged in users to edit details about an item - how do I populate a dropdownlist with Profile.Fullname from every user? I've tried the following code, but I can't then seem to set the SelectedValue on the dropdownlist to equal the current value of the record... Protected Sub ddlAdminActionedBy_PreRender(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Dim MyFormView As FormView = CType(LVImprovementView.FindControl("fvAdminImprovement"), FormView) Dim MyDDL As DropDownList = CType(MyFormView.FindControl("ddlAdminActionedBy"), DropDownList) Dim AllUsers As MembershipUserCollection = Membership.GetAllUsers() Dim User As MembershipUser For Each User In AllUsers MyDDL.Items.Add(Profile.GetProfile(User.ToString).FullName) Next Dim lstitem As ListItem = MyDDL.Items.FindByValue("N/A") If lstitem Is Nothing Then MyDDL.Items.Add("N/A") End If MyDDL.DataBind() End Sub Hope you can help! Bartek

Nasir, I believe you need to change the NotifyAccount value in the AppSettings section of the web.config. The value should be set to the user name whose email address you want the notifications to go to.

A BUG : jeremy i am using ur pws kit in my website ,first i created a user and assigned it administrators role then deleted the admin user (for security). But then i stopped receiving emails when some one registered or signed the guest book. then i created a user named admin but did not add it admins group and guess what, all the adminstrator related email were being send to the user named admin.

Kevin, There is no C# version of my site. I could probably convert it, but I do most of my work in VB.NET and do not have time to maintain this project in two languages. I hope you can find something useful in my code.

Hi Jeremy, This is an awesome site. I appreciate the fact that you offer the Starter kit. It' almost exactly what I was looking for. I read thru the guestbook and did not see a reply about the starter kit in a c# version. Thank you

Hi Jeremy, yep you nailed it again! All the additions I really needed. Don't quite understand how the permalink works though? I know what a permalink is but don't you normally get a link to copy?

Nice work! I noticed that you recently updated the site with feeds... Might I suggest you also add a: <link rel="alternate" type="application/rss xml" title="YOUR TITLE" href="http://www.jeremywadsworth.com/RSSFeed.aspx"> or similar into the head of all your master pages to allow feed autodiscovery. Furthermore adding <category> tags inside of the <item> tags in the feed will allow the user's client to sort/search categories. I'm following your project closely - keep up the good work!

Jeremy, Great work on your site. I have your code downloaded and configured the way I need it on my locate machine. However, I need to have the site use SQL2000 instead of SQL2005. Do you perhaps have the SQL scripts that would create all the tables and stored procedures? Thanks in advance,

Jeremy, question my friend. How do you get your site to load so "quick"? I am running your code that I downloaded on my own server, so I can make any adjustments that are required. Are you using some form of cache? Thanks for your code, been looking for something like this for some time now.

Hi Jeremy, I have downloaded your kit and it is great. I have a question on managing users though. When a users creates an account they specify a security question and answer, this is presumably for the purpose of password retrieval. However if a user forgets their password how do they retrieve it? Is this code implemented yet?

Thanks Jeremy, I just downloaded the new Souce Code and it works very very smoothly on my local machine, with the help of sqlExpress. All Functions are working smoothly, not a single error so far. Great going. How about offering sql2000 database support. I would like to extend my Classified StarterKit Kit along with your Personal Starterkit. There are lot many things missing, which are in PSK. Pl. help us in this case. Classified StarterKit is available with sql2000 database and works smoothly. Thanks

Thursday, September 07, 2006 12:14 AM

Paggy4u said...

Dear Jeremy, Thanks for the code download. Do you have SQL 2000 script of your DB....? In the past, i mean before several months. i had installed your script and it included a sql2000 script. I think its a most important thing for anyone willing to go online. You had said somewhere in forums that you are using sqlexpress, i dont think professional hosting companies are offering sqlexpress. Pl. think seriously for giving sql2000 scripts. Thanks Paggy4u

Jeremy, thanks for the code download. You have realy done a great job on it. Is there any particular reason you do not store your pictures in the DB. Do have a version of you site that store pic in DB. Do you have SQL 2000 script of you DB. Thanks for your help.
