Difference between DAL and DAL2 Started By Vasil Buraliev Hi everyone, Would you please tell me what are the main benefits of the DAL2 comparing to the previous one The Context of the Quesion: It is a really challanging process in front of me. I have a web app based on DNN 6.2 and with a huge bespoke development (custome extension/module). The extension is not written very well, so I'll try to migrate the module to the latest DNN version 9.10.X and along the way I'll try to make some improvements.

SignalR in a MVC module Started By Dowdian I have a module in which I would like to implement SignalR. Unfortunately, the examples I have found (including the DnnChat module by Chris Hammond) are not built using MVC, and I have been unable to translate them into my project. I did see a tutorial that might have what I need, but it was behind a paywall. Are there any modern examples or tutorials out there that could help me figure this out Thank you	4	2135	2	8/10/2022 2:56 AM by Dowdian

I pass an ID value that allows me to retrieve the username and password from an external table that I use for authentication. When logging in normally I use ICG's External Database Authentication provider.

Site Export/Import Started By John A Hello Community, I have done a site export on one installation of DNN(9.7.2) and imported to another install (same version).

IPortable Started By John A Hello Community, I have been using dnn for some time now - and I have never used iportable,isearchable, or iupgradable. My question is the following - will dnn export my module settings during an export without implementing iportable If not, is there an easy to implement it just to get this to work. I have no content in modules since it is just a grid with dnn module settings. Using dnn 9.7.2 and Chris H module templates. Thank you	4	1402	1	4/27/2022 10:11 AM by John A
