This is a proof of concept for a structured content solution for DNN Platform.
This should not be used in a production environment. Anything can change at this stage of development.
- Install a local DNN Website of the current latest version (we are not planning to support old DNN versions)
- Clone this repository into the
DesktopModules\Admin\Dnn.PersonaBar\Modules\folder of that website - Open Visual Studio as an administrator, then open the
Dnn.StructuredContent.slnsolution. - Hit the
Packagebutton in Visual Studio to start a build. - Once the build is done, go to that DNN instance to
Extensionsand thenAvailable extensionsand you should be able to install the module on the instance. - To debug after that initial installation, use the
Deploy ...Options in that same dropdown you usedPackageand then attach the debugger to the website.
The project includes some nice build/release automations. In order to create a new release:
- Never commit directly to the
mainbranch, this is reserved for official published releases - Plan your versions ahead using milestones, only merge into the
developbranch the things you plan on publishing on the next version and assign that mileston to each PR. - When ready to release, create a
release/x.x.xwhere x.x.x is the version you want to release (must match some milestones of merged PRs) - Withing a few minutes, you will see an unpublished release with that version that will be named x.x.x-beta1, it will have the build artifact as well as release notes based on PRs that got merged for that milestone, you can publish this for testing.
- When testing is done and you are ready for an official release, merge that
release/x.x.xbranch into themainbranch, within a few minutes a new "non-beta" unpublished release will be ready for you to adjust/publish.
