Hi All, I purchased a third party source code DNN module and modfied the database tables and stored procedures. Previously we bought only the PA version of the module and installed in the production and it is live now. Now how do i repackage the modified source code and table scripts and again reinstall it so that the data in the production site is not lost. Im particularly not clear on how to go on with the DB Scripts. Can anyone guide me on how to proceed or if there is any resource that explains the process it would be helpful. I did find some resource on repackaging but still not clear. Any immediate help is appreciated. Thanks. Regards, Sri

You could treat this as an entirely new module, and also change the names of the tables and stored procedures. Then, all you would need to do is install the new one. If the module exports data, then export followed by import of edited data might be the way to go.

I can recommend Mitchel Sellers' book on module development. All of the details regarding packaging the module should be there. You can also use the existing module as a guide.
