I'm having a heck of a time with creating the installation manifest (.dnn) file for a module. I've worked through and resolved numerous issues and am down to what I hope is the last one. I'm trying to use the <supportedFeatures> tag to specify the module supports IPortable and ISearchable. The section of code is here:

            <supportedFeatures>
              <supportedFeature type="Portable"/>
              <supportedFeature type="Searchable"/>
            </supportedFeatures>

I have specified a <businessControllerClass> as well and the class implements those interfaces.

After installation, neither the Portable or Searchable checkboxes are checked in the module definition. However, if I

1. edit the Business Controller Class textbox contents in the module definition
2. click to update the definition
3. click the Cancel link on the module definition page to return to the module definitions list
4. go back to the module definition page

The two checkboxes are checked.

Thinking it may be a problem with what I list as my BusinessControllerClass, I have tried, for example:

1. MyCompany.MyModule.MyModuleController, MyCompany.MyModule  (the DNN4.x way of defining this) as well as
2. MyCompany.MyModule.MyModuleController (a form I've seen in a few examples, which leaves off the assembly name)

It doesn't seem to matter which I use. Each time, the checkboxes aren't checked. For #1 I delete the ", MyCompany.MyModule" for the Business Controller Class in the Module Definition page and follow steps 1-4 outlined above and the checkboxes become checked. If I use example #2 in the .dnn file, I add the ", MyCompany.MyModule" to the business controller class on the module definition page and follow #1-#4 again and the checkboxes become checked.

Note also that this isn't merely a UI thing. My module's Actions Menu won't show the Import/Export menu items if the boxes aren't checked and will show those menu items (and they funciton correctly) if those boxes are checked.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Thanks for the reply Alex. I had checked through Gemini to see if the issue had been addressed. However, I don't see how the issue you referred me to applies. My problem is the .dnn manifest file doesn't appear to set the module's supported features.

I'm perfectly willing to admit I goobered something and am just not seeing it in my manifest, but everything looks fine and the added, repeatable behavior I outlined of editing the module's definition leads me to believe there is something else happening.

Thanks,

Kelly
