Extending DotNetNuke Blog module -- Problem in configuring the source code
-
Hi everyone, I'm looking to change the FCKEditor inside the blog module and I'm replacing it with a third party control. I need to access some of its properties in there, preferably in the Page_Load event as well. I have Blog_03.05.01_Source.zip (CodePlex[^])package with me and inside that there was another zip file with the name DNN_Blog_Resources.zip which seems to have the actual source code. Now comes the problem: This is a VS 2003 solution which is not getting converted to VS 2008 that I'm using at the moment. So far I want to make changes in the EditBlog.aspx and EditBlog.aspx.vb. and BlogModuleBase. It's the first time I'm customizing any DNN module. So far I've understood from the discussion that I need to build it after modifications and plug in the appropriate dll's in the DNN website's Bin folder. But the question is, can I customize the blog module in VS 2008? if yes then how? or do I have to go back to VS 2003 somehow and make a build in there? and... how do we configure the dnn blog project? :doh:
