Hello!

Thank you for responding to my post about UserDefinedTable.  I have a quick question.  I wanted to use this module to help teach me and I wanted to be able to make a copy of this and install it on the same server that UDT is on, but it can't because it shares the same database records/etc.

Do you know how I could make a copy of this module and use it?

Thanks!
Tim

Tim,

in order to get your modified copy of UDT (or any module) side by side with its original you will have to modify the namespace and the DAL (Data Access Layer). you will need to use modified names for tables and stored procedures, you can do this by altering the SQL script, that comes with the module (i.e. 01.00.00.SqlDataProvider, you can combine all scripts into one and restart version numbers, try to preserve {DatabaseOwner} and {ObjectQualifier}. You can run this script from Host::SQL menu entry of your DNN and look at the tables and sprocs generated.

Be sure you use unique folder names and friendly module names in your DNN file!

You might download gammacon.UDT from http://dotnetnuke.gamma-concept.de, that was derived from core UDT as well; even if source code is not available, you can compare .dnn, .SqlDataProvider and .ascx files.

Please note, that currently UDT is a DNN 3 module, that can be edited with VS 2003 only (but is running in DNN4).

Hope this helps
