I have recently developed two custom modules for publishing local news on my dnn website. The first module is deployed on the news page of my website which enables the site administrator to create and edit news items (this module consists of three ascx controls and works fine). However, the trouble is with second module which is placed on the right pane and shows a list recent news items. I want the details of  the news item selected by the user to display within the content pane. Any help on how to achieve this will be very much appreciated.

You can have two module definitions one for the content the other for the list.  You can then either use InterModule Communication (IMC) to update the content, or use querystring items to update the page.

I personally like the QueryString route as it is the most accessiable for all browsers/visitor types.

I've run into the same problem and have a partial work-a-round.  The idea of updating modules with a request.redirect isn't a viable option for our application, so I placed a hidden button on the module I want to update (your content pane) like this:

<asp:Button ID="btnFire" runat="server" Text="btnFire" style="visibility:hidden" />

Then I added script to the same module like this:
 
   <script type="text/javascript">
       function mybtnFireClick() {
           $find("<%= RadAjaxManager.GetCurrent(Page).ClientID %>").ajaxRequestWithTarget('<%= btnFire.UniqueID %>', '');
       }
   </script>
 
Finally on the module that needs to refresh the second module I added this code for a button in that module:
 
btnUpdateModule.Attributes.Add("onclick", "mybtnFireClick();")
 
You can use viewstate or session to set which new item is selected and then displayed.  Let me know if you need more detail to implement.

Hello Mitchel,

Many thanks for the quick response. I've implemented the IMC option which worked fine for the two modules on the same page. However, I'm considering a different implementation where the news detail module will be placed on a different page. When the site visitor selects a news item to view on the side bar pane, I want the him to see the page with the news details module.

Hello Paul,

Thank you for your suggestion. Is it possible to use it for communication between modules on different pages? If so can you help me with the implentation codes as you did in your last reply.

Regards,

Ebirien.
