Installation Order ?  (United States)

Hi Rod

I'm not sure where on the forum I read this and if  I did. (problem working late hrs)

But I thought I read that it was prefferred to install the user profile module and or the user group modules before the Home page Module is this correct ? Is there an order if you are using all your mods ? Again something I read here was trying to make sure you install mods with older versions first becuase of shared file versions and some problems that stem from the DNN core ?

I have installed the Home Page mod of course first :-(  So do I need to uninstall this mod and start with the others first? And you guessed it I'm having Issues that I can't seem to resolve most of the answers are here on the forum such as the configuration guides very helpful.

just need some clarification before I start deleting !!!!

Thanks Kemper

Re: Installation Order ?  (N/A)
Hi Kemper,

Yes, this is one of the most frustrating topics for me - I wont go into detail but the core installer is not very smart and will overwrite shared libraries with older versions and remove shared components on uninstal (so other modules fail). I have been told that a smarted PA installer is on the roadmap - which is great news (the core team are great btw ;).

With the UserProfile and UserGroup module, I have stopped sharing the components until this is done to prevent this happening - hence these limitations no longer apply to these 2 modules (and anyone I release in the future). The problem comes in when you are installing the older 3.x modules (Events, Quotes, Referrals etc (as of the time/date of this post) - if you plan on installing these then I would do these first, and then the HomePage module.

WRT your query, you will fine installing UP and UG AFTER the HomePage module... if you are going to install an older module though, ensure be careful as the HomePage module can be difficult (or make sure it is daylight in the UK so I can help if there is a problem - the most common solution is reinstalling the HomePage module so the .dlls are replaced again, OR uploading the .dll to the \bin manually)




Thanks
Rodney
