I need to link to the Module's setting page. EditUrl("Settings") only links to the module's "Settings" control. I need the full settings link like when you press "Settings" from the action menu.

 Does DNN have a function that returns the Settings URL?

I'm not sure what you mean by "only links to the module's "Settings" control" as EditUrl("settings") will indeed when called from within your module code generate a link to the full settings "page" including both the custom settings fields you have defined in your module's settings control plus the permissions grid and other settings which are available for any module.

If your settings control is appearing alone and not being embedded within a module's standard setting's "page" it is most likely because your settings control does not inherit from DotNetNuke.Entities.Modules.ModuleSettingsBase class and does not implement the two methods LoadSettings and UpdateSettings.

Below is a barebones version of my Settings.ascx.vb file. The Settings.ascx consists of a single checkbox. The action menu "Settings" link works as expected but the EditURL("Settings") link placed in the module only shows the single checkbox without the module permissions and other module settings. This is on DNN version 4.9.

Imports DotNetNuke
Imports System.Web.UI
Namespace Steadfast.Modules.TestModule
    Partial Class Settings
        Inherits Entities.Modules.ModuleSettingsBase
        Public Overrides Sub LoadSettings()
                        CheckBox_Manage_Responses.Checked = CType(TabModuleSettings("manage_responses"), Boolean)
        End Sub
        Public Overrides Sub UpdateSettings()
                Dim objModules As New Entities.Modules.ModuleController
                objModules.UpdateTabModuleSetting(TabModuleId, "manage_responses", CheckBox_Manage_Responses.Checked.ToString)
                Entities.Modules.ModuleController.SynchronizeModule(Me.ModuleId)
        End Sub
    End Class
End Namespace

Your settings control code looks fine. As I couldn't recall having tried creating a direct link to the module settings "page" in the past - always relying on the action menu to access this - I tried a quick test and found that you are correct.

EditUrl("settings") creates a url that only displays the module's custom settings control without embedding it in the usual module settings. The url for the complete module settings "page" is a special case that does not follow the usual pattern for navigating to a module control. By looking at the url produced in the browser address bar following a click on the Settings item in a module's action menu, I came up with the following:

NavigateURL("Module", New String() {"ModuleId=" & ModuleId.ToString})
