I have a very detailed application installed in DNN that I now need to create a template for repeat installations.
I would like to use a custom skin, custom pages (controls), custom modules, additional Database Tables, and existing content for HTML/Text controls.
Is there any form of a guide that would walk through the process of creating a custom install, complete with scripts to do the various tasks that I have described above?
I will be selling the installation to customers who will host their own site to house the application, and would like to automate as much of this as possible.
I do have a TEST server setup where I can repeatedly test the scripts to get most of the kinks worked out, but was just wondering if you have ever attempted to do something this complicated, or do you know of anyone who may have tackled this problem?
Any help would be greatly appreciated…I was also thinking this may make a good white paper or E-Book topic once I get it worked through…
