Hello and thank you for your support in advance,

I am developing a module using Chris Hammond s templates which have the basic View, Edit, And settings user controls.

I have added a new user control say names "formcomplete.ascx" to the project.

I am redirecting to that user control when the user clicks the submit button on the view control.

The code is:

this.Response.Redirect(Globals.NavigateURL(PortalSettings.ActiveTab.TabID, "FormComplete", "mid=" + ModuleId.ToString()));

This all works just fine.

But, is there a way where I can edit this page(formcomplete) and/or add a module to this page?

I am using DNN 7.2.2.

I cannot seem to find a way to do this.

I worked around the issue by just updating the view control with what I had in the formcomplete control - which works fine also.

But I am just curious as to how to do this another way.

If you have achieved this - could you please give a code snippet.

Thanks

Hi

There is no other way to do edit your module control file. Because this is a control file present inside your module.
- One way could be keep content of formcomplete in your default view page and control its visibility dynamically. 
- Another way could be, create another module add content of formcomplete to this and you can redirect from your first module to new page containing this new module.

Thanks

Typically, this is a scenario which is much more advanced than those typically used in module development.  What you likely will want to do is use the "dispatcher" pattern.  Essentially, your main view page would look at the query string or some other context and would display one of several possible user controls depending on the context.  Because this is not an "edit" control with an edit URL, you are able to place any modules on the page that you want.  In the dispatcher pattern, instead of using editurls, you just load the user control and inject it into the parent.  I don't have a good example on hand, but you should be able to find one if you search for dispatcher or multi-page modules.

You are also not using the appropriate method for creating Edit URLs.  Effectively, the use of the controlkey and ModId in the URL means that you are creating an Edit URL.  There is actually an EditURL method on the PortalModuleBase that allows you to just pass the controlkey to get the URL.  Since your module views should all be inheriting from portalmodulebase, then EditUrl will be available directly in your view class.

Thank you both for your input.

I have looked pretty hard using internet - but only came up with an old(very) post concerning this.

http://www.santry.com/Blog/tabid/90/ID/1265/Creating-DotNetNuke-MultiPage-Modules.aspx

Do you know of any modules on codeplex that use his approach?

Just looking for a good example here.

 

Thanks again.
