Hi All,

I'm trying to get to grips with dotnetnuke, I have gone through the tutorials and have had a little bit of a play but most help out there always uses the standard default site for examples and downloadable skins. Not great if you want to create your own site with your own look and feel.

Is there a tutorial which can show me how to: 

1)Create a clean site from scratch no skins or content.

2) Create my own skin from scratch and apply it

3) Create my own modules.

4)Deploy just my site, no default pages etc with it.

Many Thanks

Dave

Hi Dave, have a look at DNNCreative, which has the biggest library for DNN development and design. There are also introductionary videos in the video library on this site.
Note: a DNN site always need a Skin and container to display content - at least a minimalistic skin just with navigation and contentpane and a blankcontainer displaying module content and action menu for authors.

Cheers from Germany,

 I've looked at DNNCreative but you have to pay for a subscription. Looks great, unfortunately i don't want to commit until I know exactly what I can do with this software.

Dave,

DNN is quite powerful but like all software it takes some time getting used to.

I have a subscription to DNNcreative and 1 video series alone makes it worth the cost. They have a nice one on creating modules in c#. It's the basis used for all modules I makes these days.

The best way to know if you'll like DNN is to roll up your sleeves, jump in and see what it's like. Just be sure to post here if you have any specific questions.

Mark
