Today we would like to release an enhanced version 4.5 for Ultimate DNN Blog Module – SunBlogNuke. Please feel free to get it for upgrade. In this building we enhanced templates of Content Slider Widget with including new tokens {block:first} and {block:last}. In the meantime, it introduced the "Extra Template" for flexible layouts. The awesome sample is the new tutorial - [Amazing Slide Thumbs with DNN Blog Posts]. More excited stuff is that we began to add comments into the Active Social Journal more than blog posts. You may know that the DNN 6.0 will be converted into C# (DotNetNuke in C#? My Opinion on The Subject and DotNetNuke source in C#. Yeah, Really.). With the trend, our blogging module also embraced C# from this release. We are proud that our team is getting real to the super publishing product for DNN CMS with more flexible capabilities. :)

As usual, the more details for all of the changes can be found in the Release Notes.

NOTE: As with any release, we recommend you perform a complete file and database backup before performing any upgrade on a production website and that you first conduct a trial upgrade on a staging version of the site. Following these guidelines will ensure that you are able to recover should any unforeseen problems arise during the upgrade process.

Note that some issues may occur if your original version of SunBlogNuke is lower version, like 3.x, and you've developed your customized theme. Please refer to the tutorial - Must-Read Note for SunBlogNuke v4.x and follow the instructions. Hope it makes sense.

You can get it here. Blog your way and enjoy life. :)
