After seeing a post for this great free module site, I decided to check out some of the downloads. Now that I've got them, how can I add them to DNN? There was no install docs with the modules I downloaded, and the Online Help for Adding a New Module doesn't seem to be sufficient, because it's a very short document and doesn't address several obvious questions. I searched through the forums for "adding a module" and "installing a module", but there were literally no threads that matched either search. Am I really the only person out of the entire userbase of DNN that is installing modules, or just the only person who didn't intrinsically "get it"?
1.) The Adding a New Module helpfile indicates in a step that I should "Click the Browse button and select a file". Great - this module comes with about 35 files. WHICH ONE?
2.) The Adding a New Module helpfile indicates in a step that I should "Click Add to add the file to the files to upload list.". I tried that, and DNN told me "Invalid File Extension For Custom Module...<filename>". I tried this with several file types, and got the same error message. This includes graphics, XML files, and the *.DNN file.
3.) I tried the Module Validator, which was fortunately a little more helpful - at least it gave me some information! I selected the *.DNN file in the module, and it told me it was valid. However, it gave me no hints or tips on how to actually INSTALL the darn thing, just that it *was* valid.
So seriously... how do you install a module into DNN?
