I've created a test module (my first) using the standard DNN Starter Kit template.

There isn't really anything in the module yet and I've added the View and Edit controls.  Here is a snippet from my .dnn file.

          <controls>
            <control>
              <src>DesktopModules/DMBSample/ViewDMBSample.ascx</src>
              <type>View</type>
              <helpurl></helpurl>
            </control>
            <control>
              <key>Edit</key>
              <title>Edit Content</title>
              <src>DesktopModules/DMBSample/EditDMBSample.ascx</src>
              <type>Edit</type>
              <helpurl></helpurl>
            </control>
            <control>
              <key>Settings</key>
              <title>DMBSample Settings</title>
              <src>DesktopModules/DMBSample/Settings.ascx</src>
              <type>Edit</type>
              <helpurl></helpurl>
            </control>
          </controls>

If I put this module on a page the edit mode works fine when I'm logged in as Admin.  However, if I'm not logged in and just hitting the portal anonymously the module always comes up in edit mode.  I put a breakpoint on the Page_Load for the view control and it never hits it.  However, it does hit a similar breakpoint on the edit control page when I'm not logged in and trying to view.

I'm using DNN 4.8.4.

A final question - I'm not sure what control type to set the Settings page to - edit, admin, something else?  Currently I have it set to edit and the settings seem to display and work correctly.

Thanks for any help,

BK

Ian -

Yes, the module definition is in sync with the manifest.  The page permissions are:

All users can view

Admins can edit

The module inherits its permissions from the page so they should be the same.

The module development template places a <dnn:texteditor> on the edit control but not on the view control.  When I hit the page with the module on it (as an anonymous user) the text editor comes up.  Very strange.

Thanks for your help,

Wow, is today Monday? It sure looks like I made a "Monday" post with my previous reply, apologies.
