Hello, I apologise for posting here, but I do not see a beginner's section.
I tried all the documentation links in the comments at pndocs, but there are no working links to the pdf or HTML help that I can transfer to my machine at home. I know it's availabe to read at the nuke site but I need it for offline reading. Does anyone have a working link to the PostNuke module developer's guide in pdf or other offline format ? Thanks.

Probably all for the best as it's outdated now. The best thing to do for developing a theme is to build on the Example module, and there is a guide to that file on the Docs site now.

Thanks, I found the example tutorial. I also found a live link for the pmMDG here: http://www.s-a-n.uni-bremen.de/SAN/dl/pnMDG.pdf

We will be updating the documentation and PDF downloads etc on the new PostNuke site.

Please read the Support Guide

But as I said the MDG is outdated and there are a lot of changes now from then. If you follow it, you'll have a working module that should work, but it will not take advantage of new developments in PostNuke's API

I understand that the guide is outdated. I'm happy that you guys are in the process of updating the documentation. I find pdf much more convenient than online HTML or word docs which can end up being accidentally edited.

One problem I find with PostNuke is that it's not an intuitive application where you can just click around and get what you are looking for, so documentation is a very urgent requirement. I had to buy Kevin Hatch's book (an excellent beginners guide if I might add) a few days ago before this all started to make any sense to me!

When you download the doc file, make it "read only" or use OpenOffice and save it out as a PDF or even, personally, better, print it out. I still prefer to work from hard copy than digital on things like this.



Like I told JBirchet, that makes you the perfect person to help write it. Document your experiance, what you learned, how you learned it and create the documentation you would like to see. It doesn't have to be perfectly polished.

When he started the Anatomy of the Example Module, Johnny didn't know anything either, and what he's created is a good base document for learning and for someone who has a better grasp of writing and/or documentation to create some thing. Right now, I'm going over it to edit it in some areas that jumped out at me as I started reading it. I'm going to do the same with the documentation for .8 that is being worked on. It helps in two ways, 1. It helps the community with better documentation available, 2. It helps me get a firmer grasp on the stuff I work with day to day which will give me more knowledge and skill and allow me to better sell my services :)

Thanks. When or If I come up with something useful, I'll be happy to share it.

Hello, does exist today (September 18 of 2007) any PDF with ALL the documetation that exist here ?

I need it to print and read all the tutorial without the PC
Thanks!!!
