Information

You can produce a module in different ways:

• Create an entire module from scratch. For very simple modules, you can use the DNN Module Creator.

• Start with module development templates, such as:

  • DNN 8 Templates

  • Chris Hammond's DotNetNuke Module and Theme Development Templates (Installation instructions)

• Customize a pre-existing module. Thousands of third-party modules and themes are available from these sources:

  • DNN Store: Extensions for sale. Some developers provide versions that include the source code.

  • DNN Forge: Open source and free extensions.

You can also use different programming frameworks (e.g. Web Forms, MVC, SPA) and languages (C#, VB) to create your module.
