DNN 7.0.0 community only offers 2 website templates to choose from.

In previous version of DNN (ex. DNN 6.2.4) we could place an exported copy of a website into the default portal and then during installation was able to choose the exported Website template as the base installation default so that the site was complete and ready to go from the get go!

DNN 7.0 will not read and supply those website templates that are placed into the portals directory of a fresh install so that is an alternative choice.... it ONLY offers the 2 default website templates.

How can I accomplish the task of using a DNN 6.2.4 website as the Base default template in the installation of DNN 7 ?

 

This is quite irritating and I really need an answer as to how to accomplish this task!

 

Help !!!!

 

Thanks,  Bill

There are a large number of differences between dnn7 and dnn6 and as such the 2 template versions are not compatible with each other.

DNN 7 is only compatible with DNN 7 templates - DNN6 is only compatible with DNN 6 templates.

You would need to install your template into a CLEAN DNN6 installation - upgrade that installation to DNN7 then use that upgraded site to create a new DNN7 version of the template.
