DotNetNuke Lesson Learned

There are still modules out there using the old setting style for connection strings:

 <appSettings>  
   <add key="SiteSqlServer" value="Server=(local);Database=DNN;Integrated Security=True" />  
 </appSettings>  

I spent the better part of a day and a half trying to diagnose why all the modules from one particular 3rd party vendor wouldn't work on my box... lesson learned.
