The setup is quite complex, because must make sure that we can sync the 2sxc app from Dnn to Oqtane without issues. 

[[label=App Name]]

[[label=App Version]]

Prepare the Site

  1. Create a new site with a name of the app and version
    The app "PodCast" v2 would get the name "PodCast2", spaces are removed
  2. Go to the new site and activate german as another language
  3. Add the link to the site to the apps overview 
  4. Also add the link to the Oqtane home page overview - to the WIP section

Export / Import the App

  1. Make sure the App is ready in the latest version / folder name
    If we are upgrading an app, first change Guid & Folder-Name in DNN
  2. Export the app in Dnn as a ZIP
  3. Add a app-module to a page in the new app and install this app
    Note that it's ok if there are display errors, we'll work on that later 
  4. If you see erorrs after adding it to the page, that's fine ;) - they will be different for each app. This is because the app is usually not yet compatible with Oqtane.
  5. Find the exact octane folder somewhere in D:\2sxc Oqtane Apps Dev\Web\2sxc\ and transfer it to the Apps-Overview

Enable Git-Sync

  1. On DNN make sure you save the app-state because that's important for sync
  2. Open VS code on DNN and push everything to git
  3. Open the Oqtane folder (Windows Explorer) and delete all the files (leave the folder Faq4 or whatever)
  4. Then with VS Code, do a git clone https://github.com/2sic/reponame . - the . at the end is important, that it clones into that folder.
  5. In Oqtane admin, go and restore the state 
  6. Note: the oqtane page will now certainly be broken - check the next step
