Hello,

I am trying to adapt the dnn Store module to a multi - language store module.

I obtained the source code from the dnn website and opened this solution in VS2005.

When I try to build the solution I get a huge number of errors that prety much all look like this one:

The type or namespace name 'Common' does not exist in the namespace 'DotNetNuke' (are you missing     an assembly reference?)


Does anyone know what's the cause of this problem? I am new to dnn...


Thanks in advance

The store needs to be built with the DotNetNuke components. In other words, install either the install or source packages - you probably only need install - then install the store components, and then you should be able to build it.

But ... is there a particular reason why you want to be building it? Just install the Install version of DotNetNuke, get it running, and then install the Install version of the Store module. There's no building required! Not of DotNetNuke, and not of the Store.

If you are a beginner, I'd recommend that you click the Tutorials link at the top of this page, and start reviewing the Beginners tutorials.

On of the great features of DotNetNuke is that you don't need to build it. You just install and run!

As for building a multi-language version, use the multi-language capabilities of DotNetNuke and skip all of that.

Thanks for your reaction.

I've already installed the install version of the store module into my dotnetnuke website. This works great, but I would like to have a multi - language store.

How is it possible to adapt the store without adapting the source code and rebuilding it?

Thanks in advance

After thinking about this, I realize that you'll need to translate all of the store contents, descriptions, etc. to all of the languages.

If you're really serious, I suppose you can install one version of the store for each language you plan to support. That seems like a lot of work!

Yes this is indeed what I meant. My website should be multi - language from start to end, so the store should also be multi - language.

Installing 3 versions of the store seems complex to me.. Can't I just adapt the source code to support multi - language?

When I try to open this source code project I get the following error:

"unable to get the project file from the web server"

The project opens in VS2003, I can see al the files and projects but the last one ("DotNetNuke") is unavailable...

I also got a huge number of errors stating that I am missing an assembly reference...

Any ideas?

thanks in advance

Hello,

If you wish to set up a multi language store I would suggest having a look at Catalook, there are several language packs which you can purchase for the store. http://www.dnnsoft.com/
