PostNuke

After doing much research, I found the fix for it. I have included files in the zip file which fix this problem for you if you are on a Windows based Web Server and running SMTP as your email application to send mails from the web server.

This fix only modifies the user.php file (for the welcome email upon registration that includes the user's password, and lost password retrieval) and the Recommend Us file (for recommending your site to other users and sending news article links to other users.)

The documentation in the zip file explains alot of information about this.

I hope this will assist in bringing it to the attention of developers to hopefully add the small extra /r in front of their /n in the mail functions so that it would look like: /r/n to solve this carriage return problem for us Windows users.

I have already posted this topic in the postnuke dev groups on yahoo.

Here's the file: Postnuke SMTP for Windows Fix

You do not need this file if you are not having problems! This is only really intended for Windows machines running IIS or Apache and php that have the problem as I have stated above.

Once someone sets up a permission set for their site, they could do something as easy as get a SQL dump of it and post it. Then others who may not understand regular expressions or permissions quite as well can download and install it as a starting point. This gives them a secure site, then they can spend time learning how to make a more customized permission set.

The new permissions system enables the website to support a number of users / roles where you can really control which users can access specific functions.

This is vital in a world where the distinction between an internet application and an intranet application becomes increasingly hard to define.

Specific groups of users expect to be able carry out their tasks through the ordinary connections to the internet without setting up special VPN’s to get to internal corporate functions.

In the same way it’s equally important for the web editors to be able to target information to specific groups of users without changing their working environment.

The permissions system is the key in this.

I am really happy to see that PostNuke has finally taken the step out of the “homemade” simple permissions system implemented in PHPNuke.

The admin interfaces could use some work, but the basic structure is there, and that is the most important thing.

I think that this release will bring a new type of sites into the community, a group that hasn’t been able to actually use this system to its full potential, and that is the corporate websites with clients and personnel geographically widespread.
