The following instructions will get you up and running to use these powerful content templates on your DNN-based website. 💪🏽

  1. Be sure you have DNN installed with the latest version of OpenContent installed as well.
  2. Have an OpenContent module added to any page.
  3. Go into Edit Mode in DNN with a superuser account.
  4. Choose Edit Global Settings from the actions menu (one of the last menu items).
  5. Find the Github Templates Repository setting.
  6. Now, copy/paste the following value: ,UpendoVentures/OpenContentTemplates-Razor. (Leave out the period, but include the comma.)
  7. Save your update.

Now, when you choose to create a new template, all of these templates are available in addition to any others you might already have on your site.

Examples:

  • Header-Banner-NoBS
  • Modal-Dialog-NoBS
