Jacaranda-Comments Module Started By Forro_54 I have been working on a stand alone comments module that can be placed at the bottom of any page. Or anywhere you like actually. It has the ability to authorise comments/reply to comments and has some basic configuration. The user must be logged on to be able to comment but not to read comments. As I said it is stand alone and is built for DNN 10 with Bootstap 5 skin. If there is any interest I will put it on Github as open source. Please let me know if there is any interest.

AI, LLMs, and Building a DNN Module Started By D0rk52 I know it sounds a bit unconventional, but finding solid, updated DNN modules can be tough sometimes. Lately, I’ve been experimenting with using AI and language models to help build a personal DNN module sandbox — a space where I can quickly prototype modules with some AI assistance. For example, I recently created a simple WordPress plugin that pulls in the latest videos from selected YouTube channels and stores some of the data in a table for display: 🔗 https://azmanagedit.net/p...lugin-f...	15	956	3	6/28/2025 11:48 PM by D0rk52

Dependency errors when creating new module from template Started By jnissen Hi all, Am trying out creating a DNN module for a future project at my company and I have been having a very frustrating experience getting things running even when right out of the box. After a few tries at installing DNN intself on my local machine I was eventually able to get the dnndev.me site running. From here I turned to creating and adding my own module as we will need it to host a 3rd party report generation tool. I installed the Chris Hammond templates as instructed by the documenta...	1	82	1	4/23/2026 12:46 PM by jnissen
