Is there a template available for module creation in DotNetNuke(Evoq) 8?

I have just installed DNN8 on my windows 2012 R2 server and was trying to jump into module creation. Currently on a production server, I am using DNN6 and from what I understand earlier module templates are not compatible with newer versions of DNN.

I have found the latest module template builds by Chris Hammond, but they do not include DNN8. Does anymore know where I may be able to find a module template or possibly when I could expect to see one available?

Evoq 8 is based in DNN Platform 7.4 and is WebForms only. The new DNN Platform 8 release was originally going to be 7.5 but they decided to move it to a major release. DNN 8 is still a Webforms-based application, but now has support for MVC. It is currently in CTP1 and the final release will not be out until end of May/early June 2015.

Because it is so early, there is no MVC template that I know of. Charles Nurse (DNN Senior Architect) wrote a preliminary blog on how to setup an MVC module project for the upcoming DNN8 release.

I will likely do a DNNHero training on this topic in May and will have an MVC template ready close to the official launch of DNN 8.

Where did you get info that says earlier module templates won't work?

I honestly haven't tried Evoq8, I'm a platform guy, but the templates work fine in DNN 7.4, which I believe Evoq8 is based on.
