1.  Do you know of any complete examples of DNN 6 module menu actions using IActionable?  The module I work on has edit, view and settings controls but on testing the Manage button never shows up so I cannot reach the settings control for my module.

2.  I have a simple database driven list in the module.  I would like to separate it out so that it can be placed separately on a DNN site as a category type menu.  What are the minimum required changes to project structure to make it a separate module?

3.  How do I convert my project to deploy a DLL (all modules in same DLL) rather than having to place the source code in App_Code?

Thank you.

1. almost all of the core modules use IActionable to add custom actions, so download the source of one of them from codeplex  - you can read how to implement it at http://www.dotnetnuke.com/Resources/W... .

2. Im not sure what you're asking here, if you mean 1 installable package that creates more than 1 module then take a look at http://dnnblog.codeplex.com/ (it adds half a dozen modules in one) - the wiki explains how to do this also - http://www.dotnetnuke.com/Resources/W...

3. app_code modules are known as website projects (WSP), what you're describing is a web application project (WAP) - theres a ton of resources on that but I recommend this wiki page which covers everything from developer setup, through to using christoc's templates (which come with msbuild tasks to automatically build packages) through to coding the module itself (and theres 16 short videos to take you through all of that)- http://www.dotnetnuke.com/Resources/W... . if you don't want to go through all the videos then this 9 minute video covers the important parts - http://www.dotnetnuke.com/Resources/V...

1.  The Manage button shows up now after I did a complete rebuild of my project.  Go figure.

For this particular module, all I need is a setting and no edit.ascx.  Therefore, I presume I don't need the IActionable interface for view.ascx.

Thank you for your answers.
