Hello

I have a working solution for this on DotNetNuke 4.x, but this does not work any more in DotNetNuke 5.x.

What I am trying to accomplish is to make a new Tab based on a template Tab. then I want to change the permissions, names and parent for this new Tab.

Does anyone have a code example I can work out from?

I found a nice one for DNN prior to version 5, the one I used as a startingpoint the last time: 

http://kemmis.info/blog/archive/2007/11/07/programmatically-creating-dotnetnuke-pages.aspx

Here is some code that does not work:

TabController controller = new TabController();

int tabId = -1;

TabCollection tabs = controller.GetTabsByPortal(myPortalID);

 

foreach (KeyValuePair<int, TabInfo> pair in tabs)

{

TabInfo myTab = pair.Value;

if (myTab.TabID == myTemplatePageID)

{

TabInfo tab = new TabInfo();

tab.TabName = publishItem.Name;

tabId = controller.AddTab(tab);

controller.CopyTab(publishItem.PortalID, myTab.TabID, tabId, false);

 

tab.PortalID = publishItem.PortalID;

 

tab.TabName = publishItem.Name;

tab.Title = publishItem.Name;

tab.Description = publishItem.Name;

tab.IsVisible = true;

 

tab.TabPermissions.Clear();

foreach (TabPermissionInfo info in permissions)

{

tab.TabPermissions.Add(info, false);

}

 

 

 

tab.ParentId = (int) parentTabID;

TabController.CopyPermissionsToChildren(tab, permissions);

 

controller.UpdateTab(tab);

break;

}

}

 Any help appreciated.

Best regards

Vidar

 I seemed to figure it out myself.

Here is my code:

 

TabController controller = new TabController();

int tabId;

 

TabInfo tab = new TabInfo();

tab.TabName = publishItem.Name;

tab.PortalID = publishItem.PortalID;

tab.TabName = publishItem.Name;

tab.Title = publishItem.Name;

tab.Description = publishItem.Name;

tab.IsVisible = true;

tab.IsDeleted = false;

tab.IsSuperTab = false;

tab.DisableLink = false;

tab.IconFile = string.Empty;

tab.Url = string.Empty;

 

tab.TabPermissions.Clear();

foreach(TabPermissionInfo info in permissions)

{

  tab.TabPermissions.Add(info, false);

}

 

 

if (parentTabID != null)

tab.ParentId = (int)parentTabID;

 

tabId = controller.AddTab(tab);

 

controller.CopyTab(publishItem.PortalID, publishItem.TemplatePageID, tabId, false);

 
Best regards
Vidar
