DotNetNuke Project Templates

I'm getting the following error when create a new project:
the web server 'http://dnndev.me/desktopmodules/dnnmodule1' could not be found

After added : DNNDEV.ME and DNNDEV to SitteBindings. It works :D

Glad you got it figured out.

Hi Chris,
I'm getting the following error after I double-click and attempt to install the  vsix file:

"The extension manifest is invalid"

Any idea what could be causing that?  Some details about my environment:
 - Windows 7
 - I've got VS 20080 and VS 2010 installed
 - I think that all the latest updates are installed

I also tried the more manual method:
 - pulled down the C# Dal2 template from Code Plex
 - Copied it to the proper VS folder under My Docs
 - VS found the template and lets me specify the module name and whatnot
 - But I get :
"The project template has a reference to a missing Extension.  Could not find an Extension with ID 'e48 ....... <GUID> ..... 3eed'"

The "manual" install of the old DAL template also failed.

Chris - so sorry, but you can DISREGARD my issue.  I missed the part that said that these were VS 2012 templates.  Obviously won't work in VS 2010.  

As you were ...

Thanks for the follow up Jason. You can check out the older templates for VS2010 support! they are on codeplex http://christoctemplate.codeplex.com

Hi Chris,
I could not find the VS2010 templates on codeplex.

@josef http://christoctemplate.codeplex.com/releases/view/93348 

Were there some fundamental changes to DNN to make the new 2.0 templates  require the latest DNN version?

1) DAL2 is only available in DotNetNuke 7, and being that 7.0.2 has a number of bug fixes there is no need to go back to DNN 7.0

2) I always encourage people to develop on the latest release.

You can always download the source code from codeplex and change any requirements yourself.

Are the DotNetNuke Project templates compatible with VS 2012 Express for Web?

These are not, I need to track down why, but there is something about the projects that doesn't work (I don't know what, I was told by the VS Gallery team that they wouldn't work)

I opened vsxi file wit 7zip, then opened file extension.vsixmanifest

changed <InstallationTarget Id="Microsoft.VisualStudio.Pro" Version="11.0" />

in 
<InstallationTarget Id="Microsoft.VisualStudio.VWDExpress" Version="11.0" />
and i'm able to install :)

MDMIKO is it safe to assume that the project templates are working for you after install?

I've got a new version of the templates ready for the gallery, but I can't get them uploaded to the gallery due to a problem with the gallery and the express editions of VS not supporting project templates. I am hoping to hear back from the gallery team on if they plan to resolve this or not.

If not, I may have to just release the templates on codeplex for people that want to use the express editions.

With the 2.0 release of the templates, the VSIX file on Codeplex should work in Express, but with the limitations that the Gallery provides the one available here is only for paid versions of VS2012

Hi Chris,when I created a new dnn project, vs2012 told me "Web application projects are configured to use IIS. Cannot access the IIS metadata. You do not have sufficient privileges to access IIS Web sites on the computer."

What should I do? 
ps:My computer system is win8 pro X64.

 

Edit the project file, "<UseIIS>False</UseIIS>"

The project templates are designed for using IIS 7/7.5 with Administrative privileges, so you'll need to run VS as Administrator to get the full functionality.

Hi Chris, thanks for posting an updated template for DNN in VS12! Can we infer that DNN 6.2 can use ASP.NET 4.5 or should we still use 4.0 in our project templates?

Jose, I haven't tested things against 6.2 and 4.5 yet personally, but my assumption would be yes.
