Oqtane - Modular Application Framework/community

Is there anything special that the community request other that Admin UI to be localized?

Localization improvement could take a place in 2.1.0 if @sbwalker don't mind

I am using Visual Studio for Mac to work with Oqtane. The first problem is that the local DB does not work. Yes, I can run SQLServer in a docker container however I really would like to see the DB engine be more versatile. I wrote one for Windows Mobile ages ago using a simple Interface and base classes. If you wanted to write to a different DB engine. You just inherent base classes and implement the native DB engine calls.

I punted and ran deploy to Azure. Everything worked which was sweet until it wasn't. The Azure install kept erroring out trying to make a model. I suspect it is due to permission issues. Anyone, know how to fix the Azure App service to get it to work? I tried a local engine and had the same problem. I actually am concerned that you have to have an Oqtane install working in order to create modules. This seems very odd. I rather see a cli set of commands to create a separate model project, add a module to an existing project, create a base them project.

Next, I tried to use Azure SQL running in the cloud and a local copy running. This consistently throws an internal error 35.

I hope docker SQL Server works or Oqtane becomes dead to our project. 💀

Oh, wait there is more. I deleted everything created on Azure for Oqtane. Then have not been able to get Azure Deploy to work. The first error was with the deployment setting for the app failing to create. Right now I am getting conflicts which is weird. I completely delete everything before doing create and the conflict is random.

@rsatter42_twitter - After the update to .NET 5 the Deploy to Azure is not working. We are tracking the issue here oqtane/oqtane.framework#959 - - until it is fixed the best way to install is to use this method https://blazorhelpwebsite.com/ViewBlogPost/1

@sbwalker a heads up in case you have not noticed yet, https://www.oqtane.org/ is down

Shaun Walker

@sbwalker

Sorry for the delay on answering... discussions moved to thr Discussions area in Github. As far as support for other databases you will want to read https://github.com/oqtane/oqtane.framework/discussions/964 as it describes rhe feature you are looking for which is planned for the next major version.

You do not need to use the Module Creator to create external modules - you can clone an existing sample module or scaffold your own solution.

Hi @sbwalker .. anything prevent us to ship v2.1.0 ?

As I remembered you mentioned one time ago that the next version will be in Feb

Shaun Walker

@sbwalker

I was thinking that it may be time for 2.0.1 as there are a lot of issues resolved and some valuable enhancements. Version 2.1.0 is intended to include multi-database support. One thing that woud be great for 2.0.1 would be to have a full set of resx files as an example so that other people can create localizatuons

Hisham Bin Ateya

@hishamco

I'm working on that, but this be a part of translation repo

Also I will try to create a public repo for a localization extractor tool

Hi Everyone, I just started with oqtane, and it's an amazing framework, I'm not a fan of entity framework so I replace it with XPO from devexpress, here is a video of my implementation if someone wants to use it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4mJJcz-YuXA

I'm interested in using xpo in all my modules, so I was thinking on create my own version of the module creator

now my question is this, what is the pattern to follow, extend the current module creator or start from scratch

recommendations are welcome ))

Shaun Walker

@sbwalker

@egarim note that the discussions for Oqtane moved to Github Discussions https://github.com/oqtane/oqtane.framework/discussions

to answer your question, if you want to create a module creator that supports XPO it would be best to create an external custom module that you could share with the community as an independent module

One of the philosophies for Oqtane is to minimize external dependencies so we could not include code which depends on XPO

in addition there is a major enhancement planned for the next version of Oqtane for Multiple Database Support

https://github.com/oqtane/oqtane.framework/discussions/1130

and this feature relies on EF Core as an abstraction to accomplish this goal

Jose Ojeda

@egarim

@sbwalker Thanks for your answer Shaun, after review how oqtane accesses the data, I think the easiest path to take is to create an EF.Core provider that uses xpo under the hood

Shaun Walker

@sbwalker

@egarim one thing to note is that developers are free to use their preferred data access method within their custom modules - there is no need to modify the core framework in order to accomplish this.

Hello @sbwalker

I would like to customize default index to something else for ExternalModule.
Let's say I have one Module named Module1 and there are files Index, Edit, and Settings.
I want to create 3 Index files like IndexGrid, IndexList, and IndexCard.
Now I need something like when I add that module to the page I should have some option so that I can choose one of them(IndexGrid, IndexList and IndexCard) views to show instead of the default index page.

Can you please help with this?

And also I need some way to add routing based on the folder.
Let's say I have a folder called Module1 as an external module I create sub folder with the name Grid and create one file with Add
In the same way, I created another folder with the name List and create one file with the name Add.
So I would like to have some routing like http://localhost:44357/mypage/*/29/Grid/Add and http://localhost:44357/mypage/*/29/List/Add instead of http://localhost:44357/mypage/*/29/Add kind of URL.

Is anyone hosting Oqtane on Ubuntu? WebAssembly? Server? version of Ubuntu?

Tom Harris

@tharris9d

I posted this over a year ago. Are there any hosting sites that Oqtane will work with or will it require a Server/Virtual Server to run. Hi Oqtane team! I have been using Arvixe over the last 8 years to host all my DNN sites. I was just informed that they are not going to support .net Core in any of their shared hosting packages. I've been looking at SmarterASP to host all my future Oqtane and DNN sites. Other than Azure, do any of you have any recommended hosting sites that you have successfully used for Oqtane/.net Core/Blazor?

@tharris9d

@leigh-pointer Have you been able to get Oqtane working on Interserver.net? If so can you send me a link if it's public facing? Thanks for the info!

Leigh Pointer

@leigh-pointer

@tharris9d I have had Qqtane running on interserver.net for many months now. Its a fantastic service. There is one issue in the beginning and that is with webDEV which I quickly found a solution. my site is https://studio-elf.ga/ read how to fix webDEV https://studio-elf.ga/mynews?Aid=35

Hello Guys, what is the best way to set home page link to some other page instead of home page

@markagama

Hi, a beginner question. I wanted to join the room and ended up using element. I notice in element that not all messages exist and it only goes back a few months, not to the beginning as it does here. What is the normal way to access this discussion? Do you use gitter.im or element.io?

@ADefWebserver_twitter I've placed a message in the community forum. I do hope that you read it and can help me work out what to do next.

Hye all,
Good afternoon !
I am very new for oqtane CMS. I want to use this oqtane CMS in my project. I am trying to make a customized theme and implement the same in our project. Anyone can help me in implementing the customized theme.

Leigh Pointer

@leigh-pointer

@DpkTewatia you would be better to ask questions in https://github.com/oqtane/oqtane.framework/discussions . If log in a the host and navigate to Theme Management there you can select Create New Theme. This will generate all the scaffolding for you to get started with your theme.

irdublu

@irdublu

@DpkTewatia Hi there. I am going to be interested to see what answer you get because at first I was hopeful Oqtane was a CMS but my understanding now is that it is not a CMS but a facility to help developers speed up their development.

Leigh Pointer

@leigh-pointer

@irdublu Oqtane is not a CMS correct, but an application framework allowing developers / business to plug in functionality by building or buying modules. Having said that, there would be nothing to stop you building CMS modules to run in Oqtane.
