DNNCommunity/DNN.Feedback

This system is a DotNetNuke module designed to collect and manage user feedback through configurable forms with validation and spam protection. It provides backend capabilities for moderating submissions, including approval, archiving, and deletion, supported by automated notifications and scheduled cleanup jobs. The module maintains a persistent database schema that tracks detailed sender information and integrates with external services like Akismet and reCAPTCHA.

Introduced a new NotificationServiceController that exposes API endpoints for managing feedback notifications. This allows users with moderator privileges to approve, mark as private, archive, or delete feedback items directly from notification actions, with the system handling the necessary security checks and status updates.

Components/Services · high confidence

This change introduces the core backend logic for the DNN Feedback module, specifically adding the notification system and scheduled maintenance tasks. The new Notifications component enables automated alerts for feedback moderation, defining specific actions such as approve, mark private, archive, and delete feedback via API calls. Additionally, the FeedbackSchedule component implements a background job that iterates through all portals to perform cleanup of feedback entries based on configurable retention policies (e.g., pending, private, published, archived, spam).

Components/Integration, Components/Scheduler · high confidence

The Components folder now contains the core source files for the DotNetNuke Feedback module, including data models (FeedbackInfo, AggregatedModuleInfo), business logic (FeedbackController, FeedbackEmail), configuration management, and Akismet spam integration. This establishes the foundational backend structure for the module's functionality.

Added default English (.resx) resource files for the Feedback module's user interface, including settings, moderation, comment display, and shared strings. This establishes the base text for labels, help tooltips, validation messages, and UI controls, enabling the module to display user-facing content in English.

This entry introduces the DotNetNuke Feedback module, providing a configurable form for users to submit feedback. The module includes a settings interface (CommentSettings) to manage module scope, categories, and display templates, as well as the main feedback form (Feedback) with fields for contact details, subject, and message. It features built-in validation, character counting, and support for both legacy Telerik-style CAPTCHA and reCAPTCHA/NoCaptcha, along with Persian localization files.

The Installation folder now contains a comprehensive set of SQL upgrade scripts (from 03.02.01 through 06.03.00) that define the Feedback module's data structure and migration path. These scripts establish the core Feedback table and associated stored procedures, while progressively enhancing the schema to support portal-scoped categories, cascade-delete relationships with modules, and detailed sender information (including name, address, and IP). Later updates standardize timestamps to UTC, introduce Referrer and UserAgent tracking, expand message storage capacity, and add spam management capabilities, ensuring the module's database state is correctly initialized and upgraded across versions.

Installation · high confidence

The Feedback module has been updated to require DotNetNuke version 9.4.0, replacing previous dependencies with the corresponding 9.4.0 assemblies for DotNetNuke.Core and DotNetNuke.Web. Additionally, the project target framework has been raised to .NET Framework 4.7.2, and the NuGet package references have been refreshed to include specific versions for Microsoft.AspNet.WebApi components, MSBuildTasks, and Newtonsoft.Json.
