4. What We Will Cover Running DNN v4 with Visual Web Developer DNN v4 Overview and Walkthrough Installation and Deployment <break> DNN v4 on ASP.NET v2 Dissecting the Provider Pattern HTML-Based Skinning Level 200

5. Steps to setup DotNetNuke using VWD and SQL Express Download Visual Web Developer and SQL Express http://msdn.microsoft.com/express http://msdn.microsoft.com/expresshttp://msdn.microsoft.com/express Download and run startup kit from www.dotnetnuke.com www.dotnetnuke.com From VWD - File Open new web site – pick DNN Template Add a database (SQL Express) to the Data Folder Rename release.config to web.config Run default.aspx

6. Demonstration # 1 Running DNN v4 with Visual Web Developer (VWD)

7. DNN v4.0 - Overview & Walkthru Stan Schultes DNN Today – v4.0 / v3.2 DNN Technical Overview Demo – DNN Walkthrough Installation Overview Portal Deployment

8. DNN Today – v4.0 and v3.2 V4.0 and V3.2 are functionally equivalent Sources are slightly different Projects will track together (near term) BuildRuntimeDB DNN v4.0 VS 2005 only ASP.NET v2.0 SQL 2005 SQL 2000 DNN v3.2 VS 2003 only ASP.NET v1.1 ASP.NET v2.0 SQL 2000

9. Technical Overview Framework application, modular construction Core provides plumbing Provider model allows pluggable services Extend with custom modules Portals / Pages / Modules Portals = websites (unique URLs), sub-portals Pages = portal organizational units Modules = information containers All are individually skinnable Membership – Roles & Users Online configuration & content management by role Host vs. Portal Admin roles

10. Demonstration # 2 DNN v4 Walkthrough

11. Package Distribution Options Install vs. Source Install package – upgrades from v3 to v4 Source package – no auto upgrade path Starter Kit Separate Docs Download (PDF) Installation templates Modules Separate from Core Place desired modules in Install directory

12. DNN v4 Installation Guidance Unzip the Install package to a directory Set directory permissions (ASPNET/Network Service) Create empty SQL database, create account as db_owner Create virtual web directory, configure for ASP.NET v2 Rename release.config to web.config Edit web.config: DB connection strings MachineKeys custom settings Browse to http://localhost/vdir - automatically sets up site Change Host and Admin passwords!

13. Deploying Your Portal Local vs. hosted install Ideally: your web host supports DNN auto install Reality: build a local staging site first Object: install only runtime files on hosted site Upgrades: rehearse on your staging site first! Shared hosting / databases use objectQualifier (any unique string) in web.config for shared DBs Set AutoUpgrade setting in web.config to False while configuring site Browse to: /install/install.aspx?mode=install Running in Medium Trust environments add requirePermissions=“False” to all config sections see Code Access Security (CAS) document Use portal templates & module exports to deploy content Think through (& test!) your backup / restore process

14. Upgrading DotNetNuke Source package: no auto upgrade from DNN v3 to v4 Project models & directory structures are different Back up current configuration, database, web.config Unzip the new install package into portal directory Configure new web.config DB connection strings, MachineKeys, custom settings Browse to the site Obsolete files are automatically deleted (\portals\_default\<ver>.txt) Rehearse the upgrade on your staging site

15. Godaddy deployment case study Godaddy deployment case study Export template and content of local version of site thru the host login Setup web site for asp.net 2.0 Godaddy - turn off front page extensions Godaddy - create custom directory ie DNN4, so app is deployed to http://www.tackleboxandToolshed.com/DNN4 http://www.tackleboxandToolshed.com/DNN4 Godaddy - grant appropriate permissions for the DNN4 folder modify the web.config to the full db server name (ie… connectionString="Server=xxxxx- v06.prod.mesa1.secureserver.net;Database=DB_XXXXX;Us er ID=userid;Password=password;" modify web.config to the object qualifier to a unique name for this set of tables. Ie objectQualifier="DNN4"

16. Deploy my locally developed site to a Godaddy hosted service Deploy my locally developed site to a Godaddy hosted service use Internet Explorer or Visual Studio to FTP the original downloaded install DNN content with modified config to the site, make sure the _default directory gets copied under the Portals folder Open web site via FTP in Visual Studio 2005 Copy the template and content saved off 2 files (xxxxx.template and xxxxx.template.resources) to the _default directory folder Delete or remove conflicting entries in any DNN web.config files in the root so the only web.config is in the DNN subfolder, (other wise you may get a parser error that the database name was already defined) Run default.aspx and click link to install the DNN and the database Run the wizard create the site, pick your template you uploaded and make the site the same name, so all images will be loaded correctly. Otherwise, you need to edit each Html control for the new site name. Backup site back to local drive using web copy.

17. DotNetNuke v4 on ASP.NET v2 Stan Schultes DNN v4 – First Look What’s New for ASP.NET v2 Developing with DNN v4

18. First Look at DNN v4 v3.2 / v4.0 – new features: Not so many “visual” changes – more under the covers Client API / AJAX Windows Authentication Navigation provider Installer process Differences between v3.2 and v4.0 How you build and where DNN runs Migration to ASP.NET 2.0, SQL 2005 Internal code changes for FW v2 Starter Kit CBO support for generics Medium Trust environments

19. What’s New for ASP.NET v2? Client API Enhancements New Client Script Manager class Navigation Controls use the Provider model Windows Authentication (Admin -> Authentication) New ConfigurationManager class for web.config Changes in handling of XSL Transforms CBO class updated to support Generics return rather than ArrayList Code rewrites for deprecated classes/methods

20. Developing with DNN v4 Starter Kit with Visual Web Developer (VWD) Visual Studio 2005 & SQL Server 2005 Project directory structure changes dramatically Provider model used throughout Core & standard modules are written in VB Develop custom modules with any.NET language Custom Module migration Test - v3 modules should run on FW v2.0 Convert to ASP.NET v2 controls, upgrade 3 rd party Use IIS vs. built-in Cassini web server

21. Demonstration # 3 Running DNN v4 in Visual Studio 2005

22. DNN and the Provider Model Joe Brinkman What is the Provider Pattern? Extending DotNetNuke with Providers Demo: Overriding default Providers Using Providers in your own code

23. What is the Provider Pattern? Abstract Factory Pattern Provides for runtime extensibility Adds caching to improve performance

24. Provider Architecture Concrete Implementation Overrides Abstract methods Abstract Provider.Instance() factory method Abstract API methods Your Code Calls here These methods really get called

25. Provider Benefits Extensibility Decreases coupling Improves maintenance Speeds development

26. Extending DotNetNuke Caching Provider Data Provider Friendly URL Provider HTML Editor Provider Logging Provider Scheduling Provider Search Indexing Provider Search DataStore Provider Membership Provider Profile Provider Role Provider

27. DotNetnuke Case Study Logging Provider Problem XML Logging Provider Size problems Concurrency problems Solution DB Logging Provider Scales better Doesn’t count against your hosting space limits Concurrency is easier to deal with

28. Demonstration # 4 Providers: Custom Search Indexer

29. HTML-Based DNN Skinning Tracy Wittenkeller DesignHTMLCSSXML

30. Components of DNN Skinning Design Creative freedom with minimal restrictions Fixed width vs. minimum width

31. Components of DNN Skinning HTML Why HTML? Comfort zone Tables-based approach Tokens Unique skin object identifiers Code snippets Pane IDs

32. Components of DNN Skinning CSS Default styles used by DNN Solpart menu “SiteWidth” table style

33. Components of DNN Skinning XML Global attributes Used to customize the appearance of skin objects Solpart menu
