Hi,

Using : DNN 4.x, VS2005, and C#.

I am creating a new control in which I would like to be able to export the Settings (not the data content). The module settings are quite complex and I would like to be able to port them into other modules of the same type on different pages.

I can create the necessary XML etc. BUT my ModuleController class does not have access to the current modules settings - despite the ModuleID being passed in via the Export call.

Can anyone please advise what I must do to access the current modules settings when Export is fired ??. How can I use the supplied ModuleID to allow me to see the specific tabmodule settings ??.

Many Thanks

Regards

Graham

Stefan,

Thanks for the reply - I was beginning to think that no-one was going to at least try ).

Its TabModuleSettings I really need, and the moduleID is passed in to the Export call, so I would have expected to be able to use GetTabModuleSettings() to retrieve this (.

In Export() I am trying to save ALL the module content - settings as well as content.

Thanks though...

If there is a problem with GetTabModuleSettings() - maybe someone in the team could respond and suggest when a fix may become available ??.

Thanks

Regards

Stefan,

Thanks again for your input. I decided that I really needd to better understand ModuleID and TabModuleID . Finally got there I think ).

I suspect that it is an oversight not to have the TabModuleID available in Export/Import, as it would often be VERY useful to export a module with all of its settings ;-O (could be optional).

Anyway - resolved my problem by storing my data in ModuleSettings instead of TabModuleSettings !! - well the settings actually define the content which will be displayed as opposed to the look & feel - so it seemed right. Now I can access via ModuleID which is passed in.

Many thanks for your help though - certainly pointed me in the right direction ).

regards

Graham
