  • Modules are piece of codes, so you can modify it, if the module has no code-behind file (.cs file), that means you need to change the code and rebuild & upload new DLL, if so, simply change the desire codes and upload the file(s) and you ready to do :) – Mehdi Dehghani Feb 01 '17 at 05:15
  • Actually I am a new bee to DNN So, I have to make changes what ever I want to source code and then upload the extension not before that ?@MehdiDehghani – Chintan Mstry Feb 01 '17 at 07:27

    `DNN`'s modules are `UserControl`, if you are familiar with `User Control _.ascx_` files, so you are in luck, if not, you need to read about that concept first, then you can add/edit any module for DNN – Mehdi Dehghani Feb 01 '17 at 08:17

You will want to install this module in a development environment, which typically means a local copy of DNN

  1. Follow this tutorial for how to setup your development environment.
  2. Once that environment is setup, go to the HOST/EXTENSIONS page
  3. Install the SOURCE package of the module you purchased
  4. Open up the Project file, or Solution, in Visual Studio 2015
  5. Make your changes, compile the module/changes
  6. Repackage the module for deployment, if the source code doesn't do it for you automatically you can follow this tutorial.
