If you've ever used the Site Wizard module, then you know what a wonderfully useful tool this is, even though it's not one used on a daily basis.


When DNN 9.x was developed and the Persona Bar replace the Control Panel, some labe brained idiot decided NOT to move the Site Wizard to the PB, or even just freaking leave it as a page under Site Assets as was done with the Digital Assets Manager.


The bottom line is that an irreplaceable funtion was removed without much thought.


So ... here I am with a client who manages a large collection of portals, and has a need to use the Site Wizard regularly.
I have extracted the module from its last appearance in DNN 8.0.4 and created a module that I can compile agains DNN 9.x.  The problem I am having is that the ASP.NET Wizard control used in the module is misbehaving.


So, this is a call for help if someone wants to work with me to get this done.  People will think you!

Yes, I agree.

But ... I've had some problems doing this with a site that has been upgraded over a number of years. The problem is in exporting a particular site in order to import it somewhere else. Maybe I should go back to that and see if I can figure out the problem.

In 9.8 Exporting loses the logo and favicon, furthermore, if you use open content, you need to allow .hbs and .json (and maybe .js) to be exported, otherwise your templates are incomplete.
What did not work was exporting ML content, I need to look into that, but that was pretty much it
