Hi all,
I have a set of requirements that I'm not sure how to fulfill. Any suggestions or examples would be really helpful. I'm new to DNN but advanced in ASP.NET development. I must:
1) Create a custom base page template featuring a set of extended properties (including default values). Most site pages will be derived from this base page, and when created will have these properties pre-populated. The page editor will have to override these settings. No two pages will deliberately have the same settings, but nothing will break if they do.
2) Configure a reusable module that can appear one or more times on a page whose job it is to output some dynamic javascript using the extended properties of the hosting page derived from the base page created in step 1.
3) Each module ultimately renders some dynamic HTML in its physical position on the page. The module has a few of its own settings which are unique per instance, but gets the rest of its values from the extended properties of its parent page.
4) The dynamically-built javascript which write the DHTML will be built using both the module-specific settings and the page-specific settings. Multiple instances of the module on the same page are expected to use identical values in the parent-owned properties and its own values in the module-owned properties.
Can anybody help me to figure this out? I would really appreciate some guidance. I've searched several forums, but no luck.
Thanks,
