I'm looking to use a module to display a snippet of HTML/JS into a webpage similar to Google Analytics code. (This I have already achieved but with a hardcoded parameter)

I would like to configure the parameter within the module page settings itself OR in an admin view.  

Edit mode:

Set ID here [ 123456 ]  [UPDATE]

 Website view:

<div class="display_123456">

  <script src=http://domain.com/display.aspx?id=123456>

</div>

Ideally the module could be placed in several pages or even across several portals with different parameters on each instance.

 Any assistance or pointers would be gratefully appreciated.

Eventually worked this out.

Quite a few steps to do it "properly" which aren't all seemingly documented in the same place.

Hi Mike,

Can you share those steps? I'm sure others would find it useful.

Best wishes,

In settings.ascx to set a variable, use the folloiwng code to update a module setting:

ModuleController modules = new ModuleController();

modules.UpdateTabModuleSetting(TabModuleId, "Setting1", txtSetting1.Text);

Then in view.aspx call it back into a variable:

string Setting1 = base.Settings["Setting1"].ToString();

Don't forget to add using DotNetNuke.Entities.Modules;

There's a working example on Github https://github.com/Cumbria/DNN_Sample...

I was editing this but it wouldn't let me submit the changes... perhaps I timed-out? Anyway, here's the updated version with more information. Perhaps a moderator could maybe remove the prior post?

Building

In settings.ascx to set a variable, use the following code to update a module setting:

  ModuleController modules = new ModuleController();

  modules.UpdateTabModuleSetting(TabModuleId, "Setting1", txtSetting1.Text);


Then in view.aspx call it back into a variable:

  string Setting1 = base.Settings["Setting1"].ToString();

Don't forget to add using DotNetNuke.Entities.Modules;

There's a working example on Github https://github.com/Cumbria/DNN_Sample...

Deployment

Once you have the code in place, go back into the module definition and add a module control for the settings. Essential fields are as follows:

Key: Settings

Source: DesktopModules\Organisation\Module\Settings.ascx

Type: Edit

When you deploy the module you should be able to access the settings tab in edit mode and add your variable.
