Hi,

I'm working on a DNN portal that has a few custom modules installed.  I need to change the programming logic of some of them.  What are the steps for updating a module already installed on a portal? 

Thanks,

Sid

Hi Sid,
As you said you need to change the programming code, so first, you need to get the source code of this module, then update the code using a IDE. When complete the changing, you need to repackage this module and reinstall it. Remember to increace its version number to a higher one than current.
Above is the common method. For a simpler one, you can just copy the new .dll file of this module to the bin folder of the website. this is not recommended.

 Hi Eileen,

I retrieved the source via FTP.  I copied it to c:\dnn563source\website\desktopmodules\myregistrationmodule.  I then created a new DNN Module project in VS 2008 and added those files to it.  When I build, I'm getting tons of errors.  I noticed that the .ascx Inherits statement refernces something different than my solution's namespace.  Can I safely change that?  Or, is there a better/easier way to do all of this?

Thanks,

Sid

you can change your solution's namespace and make them the same as the .ascx inherits.
