Hi DNN-ers

I don't want my Users adding content until they have configured some settings. I can hide the Add Content action at the base of the module programmatically with Actions(0).Visible = False. But when they go to the Module Action menu to go to Settings they still see the Add Content action there.

How can I programmatically hide it in this menu until they have changed some settings?

Regards

Geoffrey

When implementing IActionable in the get method that populates the list of actions, check to see if it is configured.  if it is NOT configured DO NOT ADD the action!

You can see a C# version of this functionality by looking at my code for my Course Gradebook module that is available on my website http://www.mitchelsellers.com

In the IActionable property (public DotNetNuke.Entities.Modules.Actions.ModuleActionCollection ModuleActions { get { } }) you can do something like the following:

public DotNetNuke.Entities.Modules.Actions.ModuleActionCollection ModuleActions
{
 get
 {
//create a new action to add an item, this will be added to the controls
// see if your setting has been set in the Settings already
string someSetting = Settings["someSetting"] as string;
ModuleActionCollection actions = new ModuleActionCollection();
if (someSetting != null) // or you could do someSetting == "some value"
 actions.Add(this.GetNextActionID(), Localization.GetString("EditMenu.Action", LocalResourceFile), ModuleActionType.AddContent, "", "", this.EditUrl(), false, SecurityAccessLevel.Edit, true, false);
// this action will always add assuming logged in person is host
actions.Add(this.GetNextActionID(), Localization.GetString("LicenseMenu.Action", LocalResourceFile), ModuleActionType.ContentOptions, "", "", this.EditUrl("Licensing"), false, SecurityAccessLevel.Host, true, false);

return actions;
 }
}
