I am wondering if ASP.Net MVC 2 is a good choice for my current project. I want to build a social site that will allow for plugins or modular apps to be added on to it. An example of what I am talking about would be socialengine.net or even Joomla.
I was thinking that mvc areas would make good modular apps to plug into a core app but wondering if some sort of installer could be created that would wire things up automatically.
Anyone know of any examples of this somewhere on the net?
No offense, but just read a posting this morning about a plugin architecture for ASP.NET MVC. I used the search here on Stackoverflow and it did show up very quickly.
you can also have a look at MVCMS http://cmsmvc.codeplex.com/ as a starting point, theme's and plugins are already built in, it's still in early stages, but it does the basics
Those links are all pretty old. Have a look at Poartable Areas in MvcContrib, and the detailed instructions: http://www.lostechies.com/blogs/hex/archive/2009/11/01/asp-net-mvc-portable-areas-via-mvccontrib.aspx
