Wrapping up the Community Server to DotNetNuke Blog Series, next week!

I had hoped to finish up my Community Server to DotNetNuke blog series tonight, but I realized there is just too much less to cover!

I’m working tonight to get the HTTPModule that I created to handle the URL mapping from CommunityServer to DotNetNuke URLs into codeplex. I haven’t touched the code in a few months, and for simplicity sake I had just created using my standard DotNetNuke Module Template, which contains way more information than is necessary for a simple HTTPModule. I’m ripping out the module code and working on cleaning up the project/manifest so it will install properly as just an HTTPModule.

In combination of this module, and the URLMaster Friendly URL Provider from www.ifinity.com.au I have both of my sites that were converted from Community server, redirecting to DotNetNuke URLs. I would highly recommend checking out URL Master as a solution for all your DotNetNuke websites, not just conversion sites. I’ll have a separate blog post with more details on what I configured in URLMaster to make this all work.

We’re moving over the next 4-5 days, so it is unlikely that I will get the entire blog series finished up, but hopefully I can do so in the next week or so.

In the mean time check out the older posts.
