I'm working on some new pages for our site and I have the need to insert modules "inside" a text/html module.  As an example, My page has a text/html module at the top giving an overview of the info on the page.  Beneath this module I have three sections, Section 1, Section 2, Section 3.  Each of these sections are text modules and they offer the min/max control in DNN.  The initial look is a list of sections that you expand to see more information as you want it.

This works fine if I just want to add text/html into each section.  But I have the need of Section 1 being a text module but also containing FAQ's and Links inside it.  I want it all controlled off of the Section 1 module's min/max control.  Ie you click the + and you see all of the data for section 1, you click the - and it all goes away.  If I could stuff all of the modules inside a text/html module it would be easy to do, I just can't figure out how to do that.

Thanks in advance.

You can't stuff modules inside of modules unless you go with an aggregator module of sorts, but i don't think that will get you what you need.

Overall you could use the header/footer of the mdoules to wrap in a div, or look to do something custom to accomplish the end goal.

Thanks Mitchel. I took a look at some aggregators and ended up using DNNStuff-Agreggator. It works exactly like I need (and it has some other cool features that I might use in the future).

 Thanks Greg.  I tried that module and it's great and so easy to use.  I can see some perfect uses for it on other parts of my site, but it only does text so it won't fit for this problem.  I need to add FAQ's, links modules, etc. so the aggregator was teh way to go.  If it was just text then his module would be the easiest way to go.
