Hi everyone! I'm new to DotNetNuke so please be patient with me :) but here's my problem. I've been tasked to make changes to a live website that I assume uses

DotNetNuke modules since I opened the code in VS2005 and found the ff lines:

 Imports DotNetNuke
Imports DotNetNuke.Services.Search
Imports DotNetNuke.Common.Utilities.XmlUtils
Namespace DotNetNuke.Modules.Reports

    ''' <summary>
    ''' The Controller class for Reports
    ''' </summary>
    ''' <remarks>
    ''' </remarks>
    ''' <history>
    '''  [anurse] 06/16/2006 Created
    ''' </history>
    ''' -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Public Class ReportsController
        Implements Entities.Modules.ISearchable
        Implements Entities.Modules.IPortable

#Region " Public Constants "

        Public Const SETTING_ReportTitle As String = "dnn_ReportTitle"
        Public Const SETTING_ReportDescription As String = "dnn_ReportDescription"
        Public Const SETTING_ReportQuery As String = "dnn_ReportQuery"

. . .

the code goes on but i just wanted to show you this part. I tried to build the code without making any changes and got a whole lot of errors

that seem to be related to the DotNetNuke libraries imported here. Sample errors:

Error 3 Type 'Entities.Modules.ISearchable' is not defined. 

Error 4 Type 'Entities.Modules.IPortable' is not defined.  ...and so on..

How do I get these libraries? I installed dotnetnuke but got a pre-built cusomizable site only.

What It seems to be looking for are DotNetnuke libraries and I cant find them anywhere. The site works on the server,  but deployed on my local IIS I get the 'Entities.Modules...' errors .   Do i need to install some kind of DotNetNuke libraries to make it work? if so, where can I get them and how do I install them?

Any help will be appreciated, thanks!

Have you tried logging into the website to make your changes?  Don't need to access the code or do any recompile.

You need to build the module against teh DNN Core.  So go to the downloads page and downlaod the install version, then you add the source for your module to teh desktop modules folder and set up teh required refernces.  Then you can build. 

My suggestion would also be to downlaod the starterkit and then create a Compiled module and see how the demo all hangs together.

The site content, structure and installed modules are altered by logging in as an administrator or host account, not by editing any code or files on a local system.  The look and feel is done by editing or creating skin files.  Pick up DotNetNuke for Dummies to get an idea of what you're going to be doing.
