DotNetNuke® Project :: Announcements Module

The announcements module is a basic module used for displaying news items on your site. During all DotNetNuke® versions, the module did not change very much, but starting from DNN 3.3.0, some new features have been added, with more to come.

Recently, the module was upgraded to ASP.NET 2.0, and requires DotNetNuke 4.6.2 to run. Currently the features are:

  • Abillity to add multiple announcements in one module
  • Support for ISearchable (Search and RSS)
  • Basic support for IPortable (Module import an export)
  • Items are templatable. Parsing of the templates is done by the DotNetNuke core token replace functionality

 

For the year 2008, the following new features will be implemented:

  • Paging
  • Inline detail view
  • Categories and / tags
  • Enhanced RSS feeds

Where are the module source files?

Oct 6

Posted by: Erik van Ballegoij
10/6/2006 1:53 PM

I get quite a bit of questions about the source version of the announcement module. Due to the way DNN Modules are packaged automatically, the sources are all contained in a zip file. This would not have caused any problems if the zipfile would be named logically, however, in the case of DNN core modules (or rather.. the ones that are packaged the way they should be), the zipfile is named: "DNN_[modulename].resources", no doubt the reason why many people are not able to locate the source files.

This packaging method however, will ensure that the sourcecode is unpacked upon module installation. So yes: the source packages are in fact installable source packages.

Another thing to keep in mind is the fact that most DNN core modules are still being developed under dnn 3.x / asp.net 1.1. This is necessary for the modules to work in DNN 3.x versions (some modules need at least DNN 3.3.0 though). The result of this is that you cannot just start developing the core modules under DNN 4.x / asp.net 2.0. Should you want/need to do that, you could of course try the Module Upgrade Wizard, available from the download page.

Re: Where are the module source files?

Eric, I have been reluctant to continue development on the Events module as well. I especially want to move forward w/a asp.net 2.0 version of the module. Since there is no upgrade path for 3.0 to 4.0 DNN...but modules are required to have an upgrade path, this does not make since. I have been waiting for guidance and some clear descision on backward compatability before continuing my contributions.

Re: Where are the module source files?

Except for the store module, I have successfully migrated all the DNN modules into a single VS2005 project and have gotten each of the modules to compile. I placed the source code of the respective modules in their desktop module folders and created a new project for each in the same solution. All seems good with this solution so far.

Re: Where are the module source files?

I just converted the Help Module over to a WAP module :). Means those using VWD cant develop it but it gives an easy upgrade path as its a dll with ascx files, just like VS2003 modules.

Re: Where are the module source files?

I have looked through all the installation folders as well as zip files in the 3.3.5 and 4.3.5 and cannot find any .zip files in the format ("DNN_[modulename].resources", ) as described above. Could you please tell me in which instllaller package it is present and the actual path to the files. I would greatly appreciate it if you would consider making these files available as a seperate download.

Thanks

Re: Where are the module source files?

I want to go on record to say that I think it is nuts that the "source" download does not really contain ALL the source.

By Scott A on   1/11/2007 4:55 PM

Re: Where are the module source files?

Source does not mean some code and some compiled DLL's. It means all source code just like for the other modules. I just downloaded Announcements_03.03.05_Source.zip again. There is no zip inside it and I see no Annoucements.vb file. I need that file or the rest is useless.

Re: Where are the module source files?

It's been a while now that the dnn distribution only come with PA modules, not with Source versions. If you are looking for source versions of module, look at the download page for each module, the download link presented there will point to both PA installer and Source package

By ErikVB on   11/7/2006 9:51 AM

Re: Where are the module source files?

Scott, ddphuoc: please check for a file named [moduletitle].resources. I'm not sure why this is so difficult. If the source package is created correctly, you can just install it in dnn, and all sources will be available. Mind you: if the source is still dnn 3 / asp.net 1.1, you must upgrade it before using it in dnn 4/asp.net 2.0 .
Scott, you can be sure all source packages contain source, they are a bit hidden though.

By ErikVB on   1/15/2007 10:07 AM

Re: Where are the module source files?

Scott, you may think it is nuts, however, apart from the fact that modules developed in asp.net 1.1 / dnn 3 cannot be developed in asp.net 2.0 / dnn 4 without conversion, it would be inconvenient that you'd download a distribution that is full of sources you might not want. Sources of all modules are very easily downloaded, so would you care to explain why you think its "Nuts"?

Re: Where are the module source files?

I can't find the source of IFrame module, plz help me. Thanks

By ddphuoc on   1/15/2007 8:06 AM

Re: Where are the module source files?

OK, I am going to have to agree with Scott A here and say that this is completely nuts. I cannot find the EditAnnouncements.vb file *anywhere*. I've downloaded the *SOURCE* package (Announcements_03.04.00_Source.zip) and clearly there are no .vb files included within this file. How is one supposed to get the source files? By source i mean the .vb files, not just the .ascx files. Further, the fact that the *source* package contains compiled .dlls seems ridiculous to me

Re: Where are the module source files?

The confusion may be that the DNN_Announcements.resources file in the download does not have a ZIP extension. So copy that file to your computer, add a ".zip" extension and you will be good to go.

Re: Where are the module source files?

Please tell me how to get the source code of the Store Module?
In the install and Source package of Store module, source code is made in dll files.
Thank you.

By ducdinh on   3/5/2007 2:39 AM

Re: Where are the module source files?

Follow this link and download the "Announcements_03.03.02_Source.zip" package. It contains the Source package as a VS Sln.
