The Language


Some might be disapointed to know that this starter kit is currently being developed in VB. However, if you are a contributor, you can create C# pages. Once we make a release I will convert all the pages to VB and all the pages over to C#. So, we will have both languages available for v3.


Current Version: Version 3 Beta 1

Sites Based on ClubStarterKit 2.0

CSK 2.0 Test
Troop 14 Scouts
Renegade Sprint Car Series
Warrior Futbol

Great, nice improvements! Now, I would really like to see a shopping cart integrated with the clubsite.. I have tried to do it, but it turns out to be harder than I thought..I'm going to work on it though.

Well... there are very nice kits out there that have shopping carts. It really doesn't make sence for use to build one in just for the sake of building one in. I would take a look at the Commerce Starter Kit and take some stuff from that, if I were you, Mikael.

The upgrade from a v2 database to v3 does not work.

I've just got Version 3 BETA 1 up and running at www.Zebu-Cattle-for-Sale.info, and it's running in Medium Trust. I merged it with the Classifieds Starter Kit. I've made a ton of modifications, including adding event mapping and ad tracking. At this point I think I have all the bugs worked out. Would love for ya'll to take a look and let me know what you think. Thanks to everyone for the great start!

Yes great, wery nice improvements. I use to work ClubStarterKit in the past it was quite poor.
But I am using C# and I am desapointed because the ClubStarterKit was in C# not VB.
I am going to translate VB to C# but it is a hard work even using a tool like "Econ Nevert."
I am not sure that can help. www.Zebu-Cattle-for-Sale.info is nice also.

Zack,

The 3.1 version is excellent works well and is easy to follow using SQL Express. I'm trying to move the database to a standalone SQL 2005 server and was wondering if there's a preferred method to do this ?

I tried running the scripts and using the Wizard, but still can determine if its a SubSonic issue or native SQL.

Thanks..

Brac10 you can just disconnect the database from your sql server express and connect it to a normal sql 2005 server (if you got access and right to do things on the new sql server you are going to use) it's also possible to create scripts using the SQL Server management studio and then run the scripts on your new database server. Then you just should change the connection settings of the club starter kit website to get it working.

Hi..How do I remove the existing source control bindings ? It keeps trying to connect to a certain server. We are using team explorer in visual studio 2008 and want to host the club site on a specific TFS. thanks
