Re: First steps (of many more)

Right click the modules folder and choose Add > Add New Item, then choose Web User Control and name it Whatever.ascx

If you don't see the option for Web User Control you need to follow the instructions here: http://pluralsight.com/wiki/default.aspx/Fritz.AspNetWithoutWebProjects

Open the code behind file Whatever.ascx.cs and where you see your class declared like this:

public class Whatever: System.Web.UI.UserControl

changes it to this:

public class Whatever: mojoPortal.Web.SiteModuleControl

put in something simple like some text for a start then Build it

now open the site in a browser and go to Admin > Feature Modules and add a new feature
put in the Control Source: Modules/Whatever.ascx and give it a Feature Name.

add your new module to a page and you should see your text

now go back to your new module and develop the custom logic you need.

If you need your module to link to some other pages for editing, create new pages in the root of the web by right clicking the folder Add> Add New Item > Web Form

you can link to your pages from within the module passing any paramters as needed.

Study the Links module Links.ascx and its relation to LinksEdit.aspx for more info. Notice that the ModuleTitleControl in the modules usually links to an edit page.

Hope that helps, I really don't have time to write a good tutorial any time soon.

Re: First steps (of many more)

If you are working with the version of mojoportal from svn on WinXP it is has a lot of changes from the last release. you would need to run the newest upgrade script to get the db changes.

If I were you I would revert the changes you made on your linux server and setup a new web app on linux for testing your build from XP that way your existing site is ok until you are sure your changes will work.

The trick to building on XP and deploy on linux is use Release mode, then choose Rebuild Solution from the Build menu in VS. If you do a normal Build in VS it is an incremental build and that won't work on mono. Of couurse after you add new pages and build you must replace the dlls and the pages on linux. See the link on the download page for Unleash It a great tool for deploying VS web projects. It will deploy just the files that have changed including the dlls and it will not deploy .cs files which you don't want to deploy on production.

Hope it helps,

Joe

Re: First steps (of many more)

I think I committed the newest upgrade script 20050912tonext with some errors in it and this would prevent re-running the create stored procedures script which will be needed. I will try and fix that tonight after work.

Re: First steps (of many more)

OK I just took a copy of the db from 20050912 and upgraded it with the scripts from svn and until I ran the scripts I had the same error as you are getting.

here is what you need to do

on your XP machine right click the folder where you got mojoportal using TortoiseSVN and choose SVN Update
this will give you my latest changes.

now look in the PostgreSQLData folder and copy the scripts to your linux machine
postgre-upgradefrom20050912toNext.sql
and
3CreateStoredProcedures.sql

run those scripts on your db to get it synchronized with the svn code, first the upgrade script then the stored procedure script

Let me know how it goes.

Cheers,

Joe
