In this video tutorial we demonstrate how to backup a live hosted DotNetNuke website and install it on a localhost computer.
This enables you to test elements such as new modules and new skins before installing them on your live website and allows you to keep a backup copy of your website on your own personal computer.
This is an important technique to learn as it can prevent installation issues occurring with the live website. For instance, when upgrading DotNetNuke you can download the live site to a localhost computer and run the upgrade process on the localhost installation to check that no errors occur before applying it to the live website.
In this tutorial we demonstrate transferring a live website from a SQL server 2005 database to a localhost installation using SQL server 2005 express

(SQL server 2005 express to SQL server 2005)
In this video tutorial we demonstrate how to transfer a localhost DotNetNuke installation to a live hosted website.
This covers how to transfer a localhost site which uses an SQL Server 2005 Express database to a hosting provider which uses an SQL Server 2005 database.
This method is much more reliable than the portal template and site wizard method for transferring data from a localhost installation to a live website as it does not suffer the same problems as the portal template method.
For example, this method transfers all data and modules, all registered users and security roles etc, the tab ids remain the same and it can easily transfer the data from a large site. The portal template method has problems with each of those elements.

(To fix problems after transferring a localhost database to a live website and other useful functions)
In this video tutorial we demonstrate using a Find and Replace SQL procedure to fix problems such as editing image urls after uploading a localhost installation to a live website.
This means that you can automatically adjust any html code within the text / html module across all of the pages in your DotNetNuke installation in a matter of seconds, rather than manually editing each page.
This method can also be used for editing words in the text / html module. For instance, suppose you wish to change your company name, you can apply these SQL techniques to search for the current company name and replace it with a new company name.
Other techniques can include searching for inline CSS code in the text/html module, such as font tags, and deleting all of the code so that all styling comes from the skin.css files.

In this video tutorial we demonstrate how to use the DotNetNuke media module.
The media module replaces the image module that was used in earlier versions of DotNetNuke and comes with extra functionality.
It enables you to easily display media files such as images, videos and play music.
According to the media modules spec, the module supports these formats:
- Audio Interchange File Format (AIFF)
- Audio Video Interleave (AVI)
- Moving Pictures Expert Group (MPEG)
- MP3 (Audio aspect of MPEG)
- Musical Instrument Digital Interface (MIDI)
- QuickTime (MOV)
- Real Video (RM, RAM)
- Shockwave Flash (SWF)
- Waveform (WAV)
- Windows Media Formats (ASF, ASX,WMA,WMV)
- and of course images
In this tutorial we demonstrate working with images, MP3s, WMVs, and flash files.
In this video tutorial we demonstrate how to use the DotNetNuke FAQ module.
Displaying frequently asked questions on your website allows your visitors to quickly find the answers to common questions. This also has the added benefit of saving you time constantly answering the same support questions.
We walk you through step by step how to add FAQs and how to configure the display of the FAQs. This covers using templates, tokens, and creating your own CSS styles for styling the text and the layout of the FAQs.

In this video tutorial we demonstrate working with the site logs and event logs in DotNetNuke. We first of all demonstrate how to view the logs and we then progress onto how to manage the logs and prevent them from growing to a large size using the scheduler.
This is an essential configuration for all DotNetNuke portals because if you do not configure the logs correctly they can grow to such a large size that your hosting provider may shut down your site until you fix the problem.
The videos cover:
- Video 1 – Site logs and event logs, viewing and configuration
- Video 2 – Event logs maintenance
- Video 3 – Automatically and manually deleting logs, fixing and preventing errors
