Hi all,

I am trying to make first DNN8 SPA module but I am having trouble with settings.

I am using templates from http://www.christoc.com/ for DNN8 SPA. I run it, executed SQL provider and module runs fine in DNN installation.

But there is no custom settings in it. This is manifest for settings:

<moduleControl>

                    <controlKey>Settings</controlKey>

                    <controlSrc>DesktopModules/AngSpaDemo/Settings.html</controlSrc>

                    <supportsPartialRendering>False</supportsPartialRendering>

                    <controlTitle>AngSpaDemo Settings</controlTitle>

                    <controlType>Edit</controlType>

                    <iconFile />

                    <helpUrl />

                    <viewOrder>0</viewOrder>

                  </moduleControl>

But there is no custom settings tab in it. What am I doing wrong here?

Hi Vladimir,

We use quicksettings for the SPA modules. Please download the SPA template from https://github.com/dnnsoftware/DNN.Templates. It will add quick settings page in your module along with view and edit.

Furthermore, you can look at a SPA sample module by us at https://github.com/dnnsoftware/Dnn.Platform.Samples.Mvc. You will need to download this complete repository for compiling the code. Once you compile it in release mode you will get the module install build under Website/Install or you can directly download the build from the Git repository.

The main settings dialog requires server-side processing, so you can't use an HTML "control," it has to be MVC or ASCX. The alternative for SPA-only modules would be to use Quick Settings, but it's also totally fine to mix in a non-SPA control for that one view if you want to integrate into the settings dialog.

Hope it helps!
