Hi,

I am new to DNN Platform. I downloaded the Install package and deployed the same in my local IIS server successfully.

But being a Developer, I am interested in the DNN Platform web application framework source code i.e. the Full application source code. Can anybody help me in understanding and run the full application source code. Any links for understanding documents will also help.

Thanks

Dillip Bhaskar

Dilip, that page on dnnsoftware.com is unfortunately quite outdated.  At this point, we maintain all source code and releases on GitHub.  To get the source code, you'll want to clone the build instructions to setup a local site.

Hope it helps!

I should also note that you don't typically modify the source of DNN Platform when creating a site with it. If you need custom development, you'll use one of the extension mechanisms build into the platform, not modify the platform itself.

Hi Brian,
Thanks for your reply.
I want a to create a custom module and use it. Can you just elaborate on how to use the extension mechanisms build into the platform to create the same.

Dillip,

you don't need the source code of DNN when you develop any kind of extension (module, skin/theme, provider...). Just read the documentation on DNNDocs, and google for blogs etc.

Anyway, there are some more or less "generic" modules like 2SX or OpenContent that could be used for quite a lot of things, so developing a custom module could be something like re-inventing the wheel.

Happy DNNing!
Michael
