Codeplex Extended Club Starter Kit, Public release

  1. Project Description
    An extended version of the club site starter kit that includes a Role Management page, WebParts, Page management, and Themes.


    The Microsoft starter kits are designed to give a starting point and examples on how to use technologies. The Club Starter kit is a sample that can be used to provide a simple user group site with built in functionality. One of the great advantages of the starter kits is that you can extend their funcationality. To demonstrate more of the new features and an example of how to extend the starter kit, we will create more funcationality with the Club Starter Kit. Many user groups want a way to manage the roles of the users through the User Interface. To provide for this a role management page has been created to add users, delete users, or move users to roles in the site. In addition to being able to manage the users in roles, you can also create new or delete roles for the entire site. Not every site wants to have their information in the same location. The extended club starter kit has the ability for end users to move data to the location they want on the home page using ASP.NET 2.0 Profiles and ASP.NET 2.0 Web Parts. To help manage the pages that are in the site, a management page has been created to update the sitemap file to change the location of a page. Each site might want a different look and feel. The club starter kit has been extended to allow the user to change the ASP.NET 2.0 Theme that is used. This can allow the end user to change the look and feel of the site quickly by just adding a new ASP.NET 2.0 Theme. The extended Club Starter Kit includes 3 themes as examples of a different look and feel. The themes that are provided with the kit are the default Club Starter Kit called Club, a user group theme called DevCow, and a Event site called CodeCamp. This funcationality could be extended as well as extending the core funcationality of the Club Starter Kit.

  2. Hello I have been testing this software and decided to use it as a base for a fan photo website.

    The Clun Site Extended version boast how it can manage user roles.

    I only need 1 type of role changed. See the admin role is fine, however here’s my question..


    When a regular member signs up, by default what role do they have? Also How can I modify this role so that they can add photos to the photo album?

    I don’t want the users to be able to create albums or anything else but I want them to see the same upload photo dialog the admin sees when logged in.

    If you feel you can help and would like to log in just let me know an I will give you the pw to get into the admin view.

    Any help would be appreciated!
