Thank you Matthias. I can see that a lot of good hard work has gone into developing this product, I don't mean to imply otherwise. The response to inquiries in this forum are very timely too and that's much appreciated.
| Note the Gallery Module 3.0.12 ist still marked as Beta. |
I know the Gallery Module is still in Beta (and I can't wait till the new and improved version is out), keep up that good work!
| A Install documentation for DNN is a long time available from die Document Page ! Also there are some Skinning, developer, i.e. documentation for download. |
There is a lot of valuable documentation on the Documents page such as Skinning, Module Development, etc. which I am using. This section does not have a document specific to "installation" that I can find. Basic installation instructions come with the download itself. On the download page for 4.6.2 there's a DotNetNuke 4.5.5 Docs further down the page which I found and downloaded later -- it contains an Installation-Guide.PDF from 11/2005 but should help for those that need visuals. It would help if that Docs link was also included in the section for downloading version 4.6.2 otherwise it gets missed.
| Installed Modules can on all DNN versions removed from the Host - Module Definitions page |
I did remove the Forums module through the Modules Definitions page as instructed. However I didn't realize the checkbox to 'delete files' had to be checked. Once the module was removed I still couldn't get past the build/publish errors in Visual Studio because I suspect the files weren't deleted. At this point I didn't know what files in the project would need to be deleted and there was no longer a Forum reference in the Module Definitions page (UI) to act on. So I started over with a clean install.
| We spend a lot of time to supporting in this Forum, and to develop the Module. So be fair. |
I know you do, and you are all doing a great job! I know how frustrating it can be to support something like this :)
| Personaly I have run the Gallery Module since DNN Version 3.x and this without any problems. So I thin this are some problems with your configuration. |
As I mentioned in my other posts, DNN 4.6.2 does not contain a Gallery module BUT it contains a Forum module that continues to reference this non-existent Gallery and that's why we are getting errors when trying to build/publish the website in Visual Studio. When I don't install the Forum module I don't have a problem BUT the installation screens allow you to select and install the Forum module. Am I not making sense?
I downloaded the latest install version and followed the instructions carefully, step-by-step. The problem is that during the install we have the option to choose Minimum, Typical or Custom (with Typical being the default). I always choose Custom so I can see what it's going to install and not install. Under custom it provides quite a few modules to check off if you want them. One of those modules is the Forum. When the Forum is installed the website cannot be built/published in Visual Studio. The errors (which I posted before) are specific to Gallery references in the Forum module. When I finally got a clean install without the Forum module I was able to build/publish. It's as simple as that.
So thank you, thank you Matthias and all the others who are here to help. I only want to move forward ...
