Hi,
The post build are not performed by the framework. This is a part of any Visual Studio project. I use VS in French, but I will try to guide you. May be some words would be differents! Open the VS solution. In the solution explorer windows, select the first project (DotNetNuke.WWStore.Admin) and expand it (click on the plus sign). Double-click on the "Properties" item. Now, you must have the properties page on screen with height tabs to the left (Application, Build, Build Events, Resources, Parameters, References Path, Asignment?, Web). Select the "Build Events" tab, you must have a text box with a button above twice. The first group is for insert PRE build commands, the second is for POST build commands. This is the place you must inspect in each project for understood what is done by the post-build procedures.
When a module is "well designed", you can translate it directly inside DotNetNuke. You do NOT need source version, nor any specific tool. Connect to your dnn instance with a host account. Go to the menu Host > Languages. Before being able to translate ANY module for a given locale, you must install the corresponding DotNetNuke Language Pack. If the language pack do not exist for your language, you must at least add a new locale definition for the target locale. When this is done, click on "Language Editor" to the bottom left. On top center screen, select the target locale in the "Available Locales" list. On the left part you will find a tree, expand: Local Resources > DesktopModules > WWStore. This folder contains two or tree sub folders (tree if you have installed WWStore skin objects). Open every sub folders one by one and translate every resources for every .ascx files! When this lllooonnnggg task will be done, return to the menu Host > Languages and click on "Create Language Pack". Select your locale in the "Resource Locale" list, click on the "Module" radio button for "Resource Pack Type", in the modules list above select the five WWStore modules (WWStore Account, WWStore Admin, WWStore Menu, WWStore Mini Cart, WWStore StoreFront), choose a name for your language pack then click on "Create". It's done! ;-)
If you modify source and/or tables, YOU MUST change the version number inside every projects. It's too long to explain why, in short: the core DNN installer do not apply some modifications if the version number do not change!
What do you want to know about the zip package?
