Hello,

 

I am trying to prevent certain files in a DNN module from being deployed. These are mainly SVG files which I want to keep in the development project but don't want them to overwrite the files on other installations.

I assumed that they wouldn't be deployed if they were excluded from the project, but I was wrong.

Under Project properties> Package/Pubish Web > 'items to deploy' was set to:

'Only files needed to run this application'

so I tried changing it to:

'All files in this project'

Hi Aderson,

Thank you for your reply.

Yes I do.

Thank you for your tip. I don't understand the syntax of the 'ModulePackage.targets' file but I've tried all the combinations I can think of to exclude the file which is contained in a sub directory 'images\MyMenu\Templates', for example:

<SourceInclude Include="**\*.svg" Exclude="**\images\MyMenu\Templates;" />   

<SourceInclude Include="**\*.svg" Exclude="**\images\MyMenu\Templates\*.svg;" />  

<SourceInclude Include="**\*.svg" Exclude="**\images\MyMenu\Templates\*.*;" />    

<SourceInclude Include="**\*.svg" Exclude="**\images\MyMenu\Templates\**;" />  

 

But none of them have any affect. I can't find any decent information on the syntax either, so am not sure what to do.

If the worst comes to the worst, I may just change my app to handle it, more work but at least i know what I'm doing there.

Best Regards,

Steve

Hi Aderson,

 

Thank you for following up on this. 

 

Yes, I noticed that too, I closed and opened Visual Studio before testing each change.

 

Best Regards,
