UI for management of upgrades by donker · Pull Request #6779 · dnnsoftware/Dnn.Platform

donker · 2025-10-21T08:50:58Z

Since version 10.1 we have the ability to upgrade DNN by dropping an upgrade DNN package in the folder App_Data/Upgrade. The UI for this was the change of the upgrade button under the DNN logo top left. This PR creates a tab on the servers panel to manage these upgrades.

Features

List of available packages in App_Data/Upgrade
Ability to delete packages
Ability to upload package

I apologize as I am a bit late to the party on this one. Would it be possible to add a web.config flag to enable/disable this feature (the UI)?

We could. I've just added an issue describing my thought process around why we shouldn't in this issue: #6782

I'd love to hear your thoughts on this.

I may have typed this up too quickly to make clear my hope. I am more concerned about who is able to do this - not so much that it can/cannot be done. Adding the UI makes it more obvious this is a feature. I'd just like the ability to make it a "hidden" feature and not exposed in the UI.

From the DNN tech meeting 28 Oct. Todo:

Master switch to block the upload function. Use case: some of our community members offer DNN with host access to customers but wish to remain in control of DNN upgrades because of potential breaking changes.
Roll back the increased maxRequestLength and instead solve using chunked uploads.
