Hi All --
I have to implement a custom module having multiple views - a kind of wizard/master. Not an issue to implement this wizard steps as DNN view controls - the issue is to place (show) them on a page one after another:
- 1) when any of non-default view controls are shown then page switches into "admin" mode loosing contents of top-,right-panes etc. Moreover the module gets a significant offset/blank area from the page header area.... - IOW this is not acceptable solution;
- 2) using ASP.NET MultiView control helps but with wizard having many steps that would be a "heavy" solution
- 3) using dynamic loading of controls is also unacceptable as special measures have to be taken to keep view_state saved etc.
So, I will currently have to use ASP.NET MultiView control and split my module into several ones in the case I will have to implement many wizard steps.
My questions are:
- Are there any other Multi-View module implementation options I'm currently missing? e.g. I can split my n-step wizad into n modules and place them all on one page and then make them visible/invisible depending on current wizard step - I must say I will need about 50+ custom modules for about 30 custom pages to implement several wizards and other custom forms/modules, I wanted to "pack" them into a few modules but it looks like there is no way to effectively implement that "packing" for DNN 5.1.4?
- Are there any rumors/plans to implement proper(?) displaying of view controls within an active module (option (1) above) a'la AJAX in the case "Supports Partial Rendering" option for view control(s) is checked ?
Thank you.
