I've created a WSP custom module and I've included the IPortable interface yet the Import and Export options are not showing up in the module menu. Is there any particular reason this would be happening?

Can anyone help here? I'm running DNN 5.0.1. Shouldn't it be recognizing that it has the included Interfaces and methods and automatically set the options?

no, you have to enable option manually before creating the package or specify it within manifest.

That's my problem though, I've put it in the manifest

<supportedFeatures>
<supportedFeature type="Portable" />
<supportedFeature type="Searchable"/>
<supportedFeatures />

and it still doesn't work. the check boxes are grayed out so I can't change them manually unless I modify the database directly. After I do modify the db then the check boxes are marked and they items still aren't showing up on the menu for the module.

I've taken a look at some of the code and I'm noticing that the xsd files for the module definitions are still based on the old manifest file format. Could that have something to do with it all? Or is it done completely different in 5.0.1 and that's just there for legacy modules?

I'm at a complete loss here. Because this is the only way that I can import old data into the new module.

You will need to register the (business controller class), this is the path were you implemented the interface. Place the registration were the (name, friendly name, folder name, ect.) nodes are located in the manifest. DNN will then look in this class and add necessary menus items being implemented by it.

WSP example:
<businesscontrollerclass>WebSuite.RealEstate.Controller</businesscontrollerclass>
 
WAP example:
<businesscontrollerclass>WebSuite.RealEstate.Controller, WebSuite.RealEstate</businesscontrollerclass>
 
With WAP you also need to add the assembly it’s located in.
