Altering the Look of the DNN FAQ Module

I had an issue with the way that the DNN module for FAQ's was behaving. Some extra space was appearing around my lists of questions and breaking up the way the page was supposed to look.  It turns out that the questions were getting these extra <p> tags around them.

SCA Online OP Improvements, Link to Dynamic Forms Module - Part 2

The purpose of all the settings was to enable a link to be made from my Online OP module to the Datasprings Dynamic Forms module I have set up to take Award Reccommendations.   The first part was to customize this form a bit more so that it would even recognize this data.  The Dynamic Forms Module allows for data to come in in several ways, cookie, session, and querystring.   I decided to use the querystring to send this info forward.  In the advanced options of the question I found the setting I was looking for.

SCA Online OP Improvements, Link to Dynamic Forms Module - Part 1

Updated on Sunday, May 24, 2009 at 9:07AM by Registered CommenterJeff Martin

If you are not familiar with the SCA Online OP, it is a module I wrote and maintain for the Kingdom of Atenveldt, a branch of the SCA.  The OP part of the module stands for Order of Precedence.  This is basically a ranking system that we use in the SCA loosely based on historical practices of knowing who is ranked above who.  I have taken that practice and put a lot of work around it to not only list the people and what awards they have in the right order, but enable viewing pictures of the people, descriptions of the awards, information about the local groups the people reside in and information about the members that reign over them.  All of this can be found on the Atenveldt Online OP.

Extracurricular Activites 

Gwen and Garret both were participating in some extracurricular activities this year.  Gwen was interested in cheerleading and she had two friends that were going to a class put on by Young Champions of America. This video was her final showcase of the semester.  The next day she went to a cheerleading competition where her team took second place in state for YCA for Jr. Varsity Small group.  Photos of that event will be available on my Flickr account.

Podcatching with Android

One of the things I love best about my T-Mobile G1 and Android is the application called DoggCatcher.  Doggcatcher is a podcatcher which means that it is able to subscibe to podcasts.   Podcasts are like radio shows but on the internet.  They can be about anything that anyone wants to put up.  In fact, some of the podcasts I listen to ARE radio shows.  Doggcatcher lets me set up podcasts in such a way that they basically are my own personal radio station... with Tivo.
