 Hi,

When I install dotnetnuke from the install package and you can choose to install certain modules is it possible to just dump my own install zips into the install/modules directory and they will become available to install? I noticed that the community module is just the install zip in there.

 

Is there more that needs to be done?

 

Also same for skins/containers.

 

Thankyou!

If you want them to automatically be installed put them in the install/module folder as ZIP files.

If you want them to be a choice at installation put them in the install/module folder with .RESOURCES extension, changing .ZIP to .RESOURCES

This goes for Modules, Skins and other extensions, in the appropriate folders.
