Install module for Development

The Events team provides the source code for this module by two mechanisms:

• You can download from CodePlex using standard CodePlex mechanism. For development purposes we develop within a live website, so the root of the module should be in the folder webroot\DesktopModules\Events.
• We provide an installation source package. This will not only install a working module, but also set up the source in the correct place on your website. Just install in the same way you would normally install a standard module.

When using either of these mechanism, you then just need to open the module solution (.sln) file in visual studio. Always check that project references are correct within the two projects, and relink to the relevant files if needed. Please also note the other development requirements identified here https://dnnevents.codeplex.com/documentation

Note: Currently the module uses MSBuild for building the module. This is supplemented by DNNtc MSBuild to automatically create the installation and source packages when you do a Release build. The link to DNNtc MSBuild can be found on the documentation page, and a link to MSBuild can be found in the installation instructions of DNNtc MSBuild. DNN Events up to version 6.1.3 uses DNNTc MSBuild1.9.0.

If you want to remove the dependency from the automatic build with this MS Build structure, just remove all calls to the DNNtc attribute, remove the project.targets as file and remove the reference to the DNNtc in the solution file.
