DotNetNuke4.x Module Implementation
Just created new module for DNN4.x...(a Blog module)
Yeah, I know it's just a Blog module...What so special, but believe me it really took me some time learning about the DNN architecture before I can successfully implement the Blog module.
DNN4.x has minor differences from DNN3.x. Because I'm kind a lazy guy who doesn’t want to developed DNN module from scratch so I do my Goggling thing searching for CodeSmith DNN template and VisualStudio DNN template and walah I found it in http://dnnjungle.vmasanas.net unfortunately the templates only work for DNN3.x and VisualStudio.NET 2003.
Hey, I'm using DNN4.x, VisualStudio.NET 2005 and ASP.NET 2.0, so I have to modified some of the CodeSmith Script Template for DNN3.x to work with the DNN4.x. Ok CodeSmith template for DNN4.x done...now what?
Thank god, there's a DotNetNuke_4.0.3_StarterKit.vsi this .vsi thing will install 3 templates
- DotNetNuke Web Application Framework
- DotNetNuke Module
- DotNetNuke Skin
Sure...because I just want to build custom module for DNN4.x then I just go ahead and Add New Item > DotNetNuke Module and walah this template gives me full featured basic template module which can I easily modified.
Next...I want to show you how to build custom module step by step
PS : I wonder why there's no Indonesian DNN Community. So we can share our technical knowledge about the DNN, I also want to share about Tips and Tricks on how to hack DNN Framework. If only I got space on the server...Is there anyone or anybody there want to give me space? he he...
I also put DNN screen shot in the gallery...I don't know how to put it here...he he silly me ;p
