What is QPoke? Qpoke is a message board that displays messages at the module, portal or global level with instant notifications through a Windows Vista gadget, Google Sidebar gadget or a Windows System Tray pop-up. Giving you the ability to notify users of important information even if they are not surfing the web or looking at their email. The QPoke Gadgets are dynamically created when it's downloaded from your web site to give you a custom Windows Vista and Google Sidebar Gadget that is specifically configured with your settings in QPoke. You control the messages displayed, who can download the gadget, who can post new messages and who can delete messages all secured by DotNetNuke Roles. You can even customize the gadgets title and the web site people are taken to when they click the title.
Going Global: You can limit the messages people see in the QPoke DNN Module and in the QPoke gadgets and Windows System Tray popup to only those messages posted to a specific module or to a specific DotNetNuke portal. But take it farther and go Global to allow new messages to be visible on all portals. When you go global, the QPoke Gadget will display new messages from any portal and clicking the message link will take you directly to the portal and page in that portal that the message was originally posted to. Or limit the global viewing to site administrators only and watch all of the message posting to your portals from your gadget.
You are not limited to a specific security setting. Gadgets are created using the module settings at the time they are downloaded so you can provide one instance of QPoke that provides module level visibility and another instance of QPoke that provides global or portal visibility.
