Hello,
i'd like to following ...

I developed my own dnn-modul. This modul allows to create a pdf from database-informations and user-inputs.
Bevore the use can get the pdf ... i must be payed.

I'd like to create an article from my module and put it in the store ... where the users can buy this pdf (its no problem when other users can buy same pdf also).

Does the store module support this ?
Or can i use a stored procedure to do this ?
When no ... is there another store-module where i can do this ?

Regards

Jürgen

Hi Jürgen,

Sorry for the delay, but I was sick for a week with the flu! :-(

To add a product in the catalog, you need a category. Because the product is linked to a category by his ID, you should select and store the category in your module settings, then get this category ID from settings and add your product from your module view.

Here a step by step to do it:

1) Add a reference to DotNetNuke.Modules.Store.Catalog.dll to your project
2) In your settings control:
    - Add a using directive to DotNetNuke.Modules.Store.catalog
    - Place a DropDownList and name it "ddlCategories"
    - In the LoadSettings() method, add the following code to fill the DropDownList:

        CategoryController categoryController = new CategoryController();
        ddlCategories.DataTextField = "Name";
        ddlCategories.DataValueField = "CategoryId";
        ddlCategories.DataSource = categoryController.GetCategories(PortalId, false, Null.NullInteger);
        ddlCategories.DataBind();

    - In the UpdateSettings() method, save the selected category:

        ModuleController objModules = new ModuleController();
        objModules.UpdateTabModuleSetting(TabModuleId, "CategoryID", ddlCategories.SeletedValue);

3) In your module view, add a using directive to DotNetNuke.Modules.Store.catalog and the following code to create a product inside this category:

        ProductController productController = new ProductController();
        ProductInfo product = new ProductInfo();
        product.PortalID = PortalId;
        product.CategoryID = Int32.Parse(Settings["CategoryID"]);
        product.ModelName = "My product";
        product.UnitCost = 10;
        productController.AddProduct(product);
