I am building a new module that has an Upload capability for registered users only. I also want to build a control that allows them to view their uploads. So basically a "Upload" page and a "View My Uploads" page. I have successfully built the module with the Upload page, settings page, and I removed the edit page (there's nothing to edit). I am going to build an Admin Upload module seperate from this, that's why I didn't need the edit page.

I can't figure out how to tie the ascx pages together in the module. I have a "ViewUploader.ascx" and "MyUploads.ascx" page. I have placed the module on a page called "Uploads.aspx". How can I place the "ViewUploader.ascx" on a seperate page, lets say "MyUploads.aspx". I am thinking this can't be done without creating seperate modules??? 

If the controls have to exist on the same page, how do I correctly link from the "ViewUploader.ascx" control to the "MyUploads.ascx"?

I have tried monkeying around with this code, but am not exactly sure hot to "hook" it up correctly. The two ascx pages are in the same directory.

Actions.Add(GetNextActionID, Localization.GetString(Entities.Modules.Actions.ModuleActionType.AddContent, LocalResourceFile), Entities.Modules.Actions.ModuleActionType.AddContent, "", "", EditUrl(), False, Security.SecurityAccessLevel.Edit, True, False)

Any help will be greatly appreciated. Examples, Advice, Links, etc.

Thanks!

Frank

This depends on your desied behavior.

If you want them on separate pages, then create two module definitions, one for each.

If you want to just toggle views, add a control definition in your manifest and using the "Key" that you specify you can setup a link to redirec to the other page.

Something like.

DotNetNuke.Common.Globals.NavigateUrl(this.TabId, "MyKey", "mid=" + this.ModuleId.ToString());

Will get you the URL.  (NOTE: wrote that from memory, so please double check....)

Thanks for the reply, Mitch.

For the sake of learning module development better I will try out both methods. For creating two seperate modules, if I place the two modules on seperate pages, how can I make sure they link to each other correctly? Example, on the "ViewUploads" page how do I get a link that says "View My Uploads" to always point to the "My Uploads" module no matter what page either of them are dropped into.

Thanks again,

Frank

 Frank,
 
I don't think you will be able to easily do the 2 module scenario like you described.  If you knew you were only going to have one instance of each module on a site then you could pull the info for the link but it breaks down when you have multiple.  (You could just default to the first one found I guess)
 
I would go with the one module approach.  In your ascx file just have 2 panels.  One for the upload and one for the display.  Set the visibility of the panels to show what you want. (upload or display)  (Say start with Display and then have a link that displays the upload panel)  That way your code is pretty straight forward and no worrying about what page you are on. 
 
Hope this helps.
 
Robert

I'm trying a similar aproche, in asp.net I just do LoadControl(...)...

Where how can I do that? Because my control is in the same namespace, but I can't acess to him...

Why?

Edit: My mistake, miss the .ascx no LoadControl! Sorry about that!
