mojoPortal Tips: Using CAPTCHA in mojoPortal

Last Updated on Wednesday, 19 September 2012 07:07 Written by Carole Bennett Wednesday, 26 September 2012 12:00

mojoPortal has implemented many features in order to provide security for its users. One of those features is the CAPTCHA test. We’ll cover a few of the places this can be activated in a mojoPortal site, and ways it can be configured.

For those who aren’t familiar with CAPTCHA: “A CAPTCHA is a type of challenge-response test used in computing as an attempt to ensure that the response is generated by a person. The process usually involves a computer asking a user to complete a simple test which the computer is able to grade. These tests are designed to be easy for a computer to generate, but difficult for a computer to solve, so that if a correct solution is received, it can be presumed to have been entered by a human.” – Wikipedia

Sometimes the Prism Application may need the hierarchical event aggregator. In this post, I want to share my implementation of HierarchicEventAggregator.

IHierarchicEventAggregator.cs
HierarchicEventAggregator.cs

1. To create the instances, do the following:
IHierarchicEventAggregator root = new HierarchicEventAggregator();
IHierarchicEventAggregator workspace1 = root.CreateChildHierarchicEventAggregator();
IHierarchicEventAggregator workspace2 = root.CreateChildHierarchicEventAggregator();

mojoPortal Tips: mojoPortal and Artisteer 3.1

Developers and designers who leverage the Artisteer tool for creation of mojoPortal skins sometimes have a love/hate relationship with the application, due to format changes that impact any updates to mojoPortal. However, there are some amazing features with the latest version of Artisteer that definitely come out on the side of “love it!”.

One of the most intriguing new features of Artisteer is the ability to extract color schemes from an existing image. This is great if your client already has a logo or branding that they want to leverage, or if they’ve given you a swatch they’ve chosen from a site like Design Seeds. You’re not locked into the color scheme it generates for you, but it can give you a head-start in configuring all your colors for the elements within your design, such as background, menu, buttons, etc.
