I am trying to develop a relatively simple module (first one) that will be used to display a boundary map, and potentially allow a user to locate their address on the same map. If their address is ouside of the boundary, then an

Sorry about that...looks like the last post got cut off.

To simplify, I am trying to make a module that displays a map. The HTML of this map is fixed, only a few lines of javascript change periodicaly.  To do this, I would expect to have a ViewControl.ascx which has all the HTML in it, and in it's code behind inject the "variable" part of the javascript.  I can do this just fine, and it is working well.

Now I want to have 1 or 2 settings to control things like the size of the map etc.  When I am logged in as the host, and I view my module, the control panel is in "Edit" mode...there are no actions available for my module....and therefore no obvious way to display the SettingsControl.ascx.   Since I'm the host, I assume that security isn't the problem, but more likely I didn't do something right.

I've read half a dozen tutorials and things, but none of them actually seem to explain how to do Settings...they all want to create a robust DAL to store multiple Items, edit them etc....all of which I don't need (at least not yet).  So, can anyone give me some guidance about what I need to do to make "actions" show up in my ViewControl and how I hook them to the SettingsControl.ascx?

Thanks in advance

Paul,

take a look here: http://www.adefwebserver.com/DotNetNukeHELP/Personalization

to add your settings page (ascx) to your module, create the page with proper name and add it to your module controls with proper key (use current Text/HTML module as simple template).
