I upgraded to 9.11.1 when i look at the extensions list there are a number of upgraded modules listed eg. I have events module 7.07 it says 8.03 is available .
When i click the link it gos back to the upgrade page on the dnn site where I can download DNN but no modules available on that page.
I found a link in the old forums but it only has two year old modules, the same versions I already have installed.
It is quite frustrating in such a good system to see that updated modules are available but not reachable, I have thirty tabs open but no luck Finding the core modules.
Surely the links in the extensions module should point to either a core repository or to the individual modlue upgrade pages....

Wayne,
you find the old core modules on GitHub, normally the Url looks like https://github.com/dnncommunity/dnn.events. Instead of "events" at the end you can use "documents", "survey", "faq" etc.
The Events and FAQ modules (and maybe others as well) are still dependent on the Telerik components, I would not recommend using them. Either you wait until someone updates these modules (a bounty is helpful :-)), or you look for alternatives. There are free generic modules around like OpenContent or 2scx - with a bit of HTML, CSS and JS knowledge you should be able to implement the functionality you need.
Happy DNNing! Michael

I think you are seeing these "fake" versions due to DNN telemetry picking up "news" of a version that really doesn't exist or hasn't been released. DNN has a "phone home" mechanism that sends versions for the platform and installed modules back to dnnplatform.io with the intention of collecting and corellating version information across the platform's ecosystem and sharing that information with the vendors and community. What sometimes happens though, is that a module developer might have DNN installed and be working on a module's repository (or fork of a module repository) and bumps the version in their internal build/version. But since they don't know about or perhaps forget to turn off this feature, their "update" makes its way into the telemetry, and gets pushed out to the ecosystem as a potential new version.
How do I know this? Because I've caused false updates to appear as available because I test the community forums builds on a dev version of my production site, and I forget to remove the option. :)
So yes it is frustrating. When you see a new module listed, visit the vendor or, if it's a community-built module, https://github.com/DNNCommunity.
Yup, ran through the same problem. I guess it's all "paid for" extensions or nothing. The core has visibly shrunk from the haydays of DNN 3. We used to have core event modules, store module, form and list modules, gallery modules, perhaps not the best but still working. Now we have didly squat... Whatever. I guess this is the new normal for DNN.

On the "all paid for extension"... no. I have a suite of module here: Rocket CDS Rocket-CDS/RocketCDS that are all free and can build a full website. With Content, Event, News, Directory system, forms and an ecommerce which can be installed if required. Myself and couple of others are building and maintaining these for free, so the documentation is slow to get finished. But the modules work and have been in production on our websites for 2 years. While these are not core modules, we do maintain them and make them compatible with the latest DNN10.
