I have a custom module that runs fine on my development server. But on my production server, the optional interfaces are only visible when I'm logged in and the Control Panel is in Edit mode. In View mode (and for anonymous users) the optional interfaces disappear and my code won't run, either (it does in Edit mode). Folder permissions seem OK since other modules on the page function correctly. Optional interfaces are pretty straightforward, too:

 

#Region "Optional Interfaces"

 
        Public ReadOnly Property ModuleActions() As Entities.Modules.Actions.ModuleActionCollection Implements Entities.Modules.IActionable.ModuleActions
            Get
                Dim Actions As New Entities.Modules.Actions.ModuleActionCollection
                Actions.Add(GetNextActionID, Localization.GetString(Entities.Modules.Actions.ModuleActionType.AddContent, LocalResourceFile), Entities.Modules.Actions.ModuleActionType.AddContent, "", "", EditUrl(), False, Security.SecurityAccessLevel.Edit, True, False)
                Actions.Add(GetNextActionID, Localization.GetString("ViewMonth", LocalResourceFile), Entities.Modules.Actions.ModuleActionType.AddContent, "", "..\DesktopModules\Assignments\SmallCalendar.gif", NavigateURL(TabId, "ViewMonth", "mid", ModuleId.ToString()), False, SecurityAccessLevel.Anonymous, True, False)
                Return Actions
            End Get
        End Property
 

#End Region

What am I missing!!??

There's more:

The optional interfaces are invisible only on page_load. If another control within the module is called (with the module id in the URL), the interfaces become visible. The interfaces are visible on the default control as well when it's called with the module id. BUT, even though the default control DOES show the Print icon on page_load, once other controls are called the Print icon becomes invisible! Go figure...

In case anyone is interested in a solution:

There's a paragraph in the Module Development pdf that states:

In the Module definition, you must set the

Default Cache Time to 0 (and click the Update Cache Properties button to set it). Otherwise your links may not work properly because of module caching. 

Apparently the same advice applies to iActionable items. Unless the cache time is set to 0, the iActionable item will not show up in the control.

VERY IMPORTANT
