DNN Hangout Special Episode - October 2015 - Building Modules Using the DNN 8 MVC Pattern

The dnn8 ctp6 source package doesn't display the DCC manager after selecting it in the admin section. Some other options like File Management don't work either.

Hello Tony:

Thanks for letting us know about that. It's probably best to report those in the beta testing forum. It should get the right amount of attention there. :)

Will.. I did on 10/10 and asked if anyone can verify this. No replies.

@Tony: Yeah, well I can't speak to that, but you've done the right thing so far as I can tell. :)

@Joe: Any help for Tony?

Joe.. please include the source code of the modules you're basing your tutorials on. I tried to create a super simple test module following the steps here and I keep getting this error: "Attempt by method 'xxxxx.Index()' to access method 'System.Web.Mvc.Controller.View()' failed." Index() is my controller's method. Do we need to have an entry in businessControllerClass in the manifest? It would be a time saver if we can base our test modules on something the works so we know exactly what's causing the errors we get. Otherwise I will just blame a ctp product that has bugs.

@Tony: There are module templates that have been submitted as pull requests to the Christoc Module Template project. We're just waiting for Hammond to create a release now. You should see examples there.

@Will.. I don't see any MVC ones. Just SPA.

Also I don't know about waiting for someone to create a template for DNN. Joe mentioned in the tutorial that the MVC template will be ready the week after (tutorial's time). It's more than 2 weeks later and there's no sign of it. Isn't Joe's module done and can just be attached here? I am talking about if you're creating a video tutorial based on some code, include the code. I looked at Charles Nurse's ContactList MVC example from DNN Connect and it looks like things have changed since then. I am getting an error in my simple example. I hope people who are entering the contest are not going to have a hard time developing their module because of weird errors and things are in flux between ctp's. I also don't have enough interest chasing down an error inside DNN's source code if it's going to take a long time. We need as much documentation, examples, tutorials, references, specially if you want people to start creating fully baked modules for a contest.
