Onto Skins...

I have finally finished the module I have been working on COMPLETELY...for now at least. I still get to work even more with DNN!! YAY! /sarcasm. Im actually looking forward to this a little bit because the design of our portal is finally gonna match how I designed the app, which will be kinda cool. But knowing DNN its gonna be a pain in the ass to get this going completely. I started building the site and more importantly the skin. Its already proving to be a pain. Something I could do in one day with HTML/CSS/Javascript takes me weeks to do in DotnetNuke!! I have edited skins and containers before. but never built one from scratch. We will see how this goes, but after this. I think I have touched on all areas of DNN, ughhh.....

Created my first module in DNN...

Now that we are able to submit information, We need a place to store that information. We had been using a forms module that would allow for us to run a Stored Procedure is MSSQL, but it turns out that there was a vulnerability in the module leaving it open for attack. I contacted the the third party that makes the module and informed them of this. Unfortunatley this created more work for me. I now had to get DNN installed on VS locally, get it running with IIS, and create the new module to communicate with the database. After scowering the internet, going through many lines of code debugging, and bringing the server down multiple times, I have finally got the module working, DNN running locally, and running in IIS. It has taken alot of time and effort but Im glad I finally got it working, and now I have a better grasp of DNN and I should have no problem in the future creating modules. Although I am looking into how to upload an already compiled module to the site, right now it only allows pre-compiled modules but im sure there is some way to to do it.
