Is there a way to use sourcesafe with DNN? Would like to be able to "check out" the site (or portal) and then make changes, test, and check back in if all is well

Its very time consuming and inflexible backing up the site and DB.

Thanks

Sure, DotNetNuke is a solution like any other Visual Studio solution if you are talking about integration with the IDE.

Then again you can check anything into Visual Source Safe, it doesn't have to be a Visual Studio solution.

For source control of all the projects in DotNetNuke on the core team we are using SourceGear Vault which I highly recommend.

DotNetNuke Modules from Snapsis.com

SourceSafe (or Vault) is only useful for managing files. If your intention is to manage the contents (i.e. the pages, modules, text etc) of your website, then this approach will not work because 99% of the content of a DNN site is held in the SQL database. What you can manage with SourceSafe is the ASP.NET files that make up the actual code of the DNN framework and modules, the files for skins and containers, and the files that are uploaded to a site through File Manager.

It's possible.

At my workplace we (2 developers) have a sourcesafe server that we check our work into.

Dev environment: 1 Sourcesafe server and 1 DB server, we check out code and develop on our own laptops.

Live environment: 1 App Server and 1 DB Server.

When we have finished writing modules we check them in and copy them to our live environment.

We are using DNN 4.3.5, Visual Studio 2005, SQL Server 2005 and Visual Sourcesafe 2005.

lnEville,

You understood my question exactly - I am looking for a clean method to be able to undo changes to the portal / sql database. DNN sometimes acts really wierd andI'm afraid of hosing a part of, or the whole install - either thru a bug or human error

What do you think of some existing SQL log software that might allow certain rollbacks of changes? Anyone know of an 'audit log', that may track changes? Where could I start in learning the DNN SQL inner workings?

Thanks to all replys
