Hi folks,

This must be a real simple question to all of you who develop on DNN all day long. I have a site that is in production, and I when I want to make a small change I just do it while it is live. If its a little bigger change, I do it live but work on the pages that are not visible, then move the completed module to the page I want. But now I need to make some big changes, like setting up content localization, which may get pretty messy, how do I do this transparrently to the user?

I have a dedicated server which the site runs on, I usually develop right from there so that I don't have to open up the remote connect to the database. So what I was thinking is to just copy the dnn site folder, and do development work on the copy, but there's lots of stuff going on with the site, people posting things, so how do I then apply the changes later? Are there tricks on doing transparrent development work on the site?

Also, one other question, since my site is on a dedicated server in a different time zone, how do i offset the time so that it shows the right user time?

Thanks,

Viktor
