MODULE DEVELOPMENT TIPS
• • • • • • • •
Encode DataProvider script files as UTF-8 Use existing modules as a starting point Use project templates as a starting point Use templates like CodeSmith Localize from version 01.00.00 Use DNN controls and CSS classes Use EditUrl() and NavigateUrl() Look for DNN functionality FIRST – object browser – API help file
