It is autoinstalled if it is in the install/module directory. So, remove it from there.

hi
The feedexplorer is a module which its information reside in Admin\syndication folder. There is no track of it in install\module.
So It is propable that I have to change some sql scripts or installation files to make it not to install.
Just take a look at this module. Am I right?
Any guidance?

I think that the install zip file are removed from that directory once they have been installed.

You will find some .resources files.  These are zip files with the extension changed to resources.  These are installable modules that you will find on the list of those that can be installed on the module definitions or extension page.  Once you have selected and installed any of these, they also are deleted.

Hi Craig
Thanks for your attention.
let me ask my question more clear. When I want to install dnn, If I remove all the module packages which reside in install\module folder, the feed explorer will install. I think, it's a built-in module.

Also when we click on solutions in control panel, this module will display in a page.

I want to create a localized package for dnn 4.9.2. On the other hand, I can not Lozalize this module. So I want to remove it because I don't want to tell every customer to go and delete it from module definition part.

I know about the .resources file and how to use it. So just check this module one more time,please.

Regards
Nafiseh

I would suggest that you just test this and see if it works.

And, I would recommend that you upgrade tothe latest version of 4.9.x if upgrading to 5.x is not appropriate.  Development of 4.9 has ended, and only 5.x will be upgraded in the future, unless a severe security issue requires an upgrade to 4.x.

The feedexplorer module is installed automatically into the admin folder, so you can't remove it from the install / module folder.

What you can do however is set it to a premium module so that the module is not accessible to the portal.

To do this, log in as host, go to admin menu / site settings
advanced settings / host settings

In the premium modules section move the FeedExplorer from the selected modules to premium modules.

You should be able to set this up before DotNetNuke is installed, checkout:

Thanks a lot Lee Sykes
There was a comment in source code indicate that search input, search result, user account and feed explorer are admin core modules.
In DotNetNukeData.Data.SqlDataProvider file which reside in Providers\DataProviders\SqlDataProvider path I could find all of core modules except feed explorer.
As u know we can change some of their default values in this file. We can set each one of those modules to be premium.
Unfortunately feed explorer does not exist in the list of modules in this file.
I don't know why this module designed in different way. It's make me bewildered.

By the way I checked the path u mentioned in admin\site settings\host but I found the two box empty.I'm using dnn 4.9.2. why it is in this way?
Also I checked DotNetNuke.install.config file to see if I can find something related to this module.I couldn't find any related tag.

In DNN 4.x

Go to the Host Menu / Module Definitions
Click on the edit pencil icon for the module you wish to make premium
In the settings page, tick the premium box - Click on update

Go to the admin menu / site settings
Advanced settings / HostSettings

That module will now be available to view in the premium modules section

I found a solution.
I'm using dnn 4.9.2 so with changing these two files 04.05.02.SqlDataProvider and 04.05.03.SqlDataProvider, I can set feed explorer Friendly Name to what I want and set this module to be premium
these two files are resided in Providers\DataProviders\SqlDataProvider folder.

If I want to upgrade my dnn I should change other related script too.

I don't understand why your are changing scripts.  As best I know, you should NOT do that.
