I am very new to module development - so go easy on me!

I am trying to build a module with several module definitions (for now, two view definitions - one for a full size image and one for a list of thumbnails). I understand this is a best practice approach as I'll be able to move these components around to different pages, or even panes.

These two modules need to share similar module settings (for example ImageSourceFolder). So my question is, if I have a settings control as part of the "Full size image" module definition - how can I access the values of these settings in the thumbnail module.

I guess one option would be for the thumbnail settings to list all instances of the "Full Slide" module and allow me which one it should obtain the settings from - but I have no idea how I'd go about this. Any pointers in the right direction would be appreciated.

Many thanks

Matt

IF you want to share module settings across more than one module definition -- the best approach would be to use PortalSettings as the storage location with a unique identity key that each of your modules is aware of.
