Hello and welcome! In today’s blog I’ll show you how to use the “White Board” module that is included with your Dolphin 7.1 website. Before we begin we need to install the “Whiteboard” module. A step by step guide on installing the Dolphin 7 base modules can be found here.

Once we have the module installed we can access it by clicking “Boards” on the main menu bar of the site. White boards in Dolphin 7.1 are created and modified from the user side of the website and not from the admin.

mojoPortal Tips: Making a Living with mojoPortal (Yes, You Can!)

Recently, I was contacted by a developer specializing in .Net, who is fairly new to mojoPortal. He asked me if it’s possible to be profitable supporting an open-source application like mojoPortal; my unequivocal response is “Yes, quite well.” Stick around – after the break, I’ll outline some of the ways that supporting open-source can generate revenue.

Now, it should be prefaced that it won’t happen overnight; you will get pushback from some members of the community, who feel that because the core application (mojoPortal) is free, and open-source, all utilization of it should be free as well. That’s not an unusual perspective for any open-source community, whether it’s WordPress, Joomla!, Dot Net Nuke, or any other application. However; if you talk to most of the actual core developers of these applications, you’ll hear a different story. Every one I’ve talked to has openly acknowledged that their application is used as a tool by for-profits, and indeed in most cases actively encourage it. Some offer premium support packages and sponsor ships to support ongoing development (nopCommerce), while others sell premium add-ons directly from the core development team (mojoPortal).

On a previous post I put a way to recover your site from a White Screen of Death (WSOD).  A WSOD is when you refresh your Elgg site and instead of showing your content, a blank, white page is displayed instead.
