Development approach for F3 module? 

I've been looking for an approach to automate the build of DNN module install and came across your nant build script.  I've got some questions on how the development environment for this project was set up, though.

EngageF3.build expects the module to be in a flat directory structure, and in its own solution.  Doing the development against DNN (AFAIK) requires the component files to be inside of an existing DNN website directory structure.  Is this the approach that you took when developing F3, and then copied the files into a separate project to do the build?  If you were able to do the development/testing in place in a separate module, how did you get DNN to recognize the file locations?

Thanks very much in advance for any advice you can provide.

Re: Development approach for F3 module? 

Quick summary as I have a lot going on today.

Setup the SOURCE solution, I configure it in the following folder

c:\inetpub\wwwroot\dotnetnuke

Setup a virtual directory in IIS for dotnetnuke_2 point it to the c:\inetpub\wwwroot\dotnetnuke\website folder

Make sure DNN installs properly, setup your database, etc.

Install the SOURCE Version of Engage: F3, this will put it into the desktopmodules/engagef3 folder

Open the project file.

Make changes, compile, boom you're done. If you want to use the nant scripts read this blog post.

Does that all make sense?
