Hi folks

I have searched the blogs and bought the books and can do all the clever things with the new module manifest – but I seem to be stumbling over a simple question.

I want to load a dozen or so modules with one manifest so that each appears separately in the host>module definitions page, and each appears as a separate item in the module drop down list on the Control panel?

I can generate the module .dnn code from DNN 5 but how do I combine the Code:

<dotnetnuke type="Package" version="5.0">

  <packages>

    <package name="xyz" type="Module" version="1.0.0">

And so on, so they don’t get all lumped together as one item?

Kind regards

Geoffrey

Check out the skin manifest builder here (skins use the same manifest as modules do in DNN 5+) - http://dotnetnuke.mywebsitedesigner.com.au/

You can see that I have both a skin & container installing at the same time (this will be the same for modules):

<dotnetnuke type="Package" version="5.0">
  <packages>
    <package name="Skin.MWSD-MySkinPackV1" type="Skin" version="01.00.00">

Hi Adski

Thank you for  fast response and congratulations on a neat site.

This is exactly what I thought I was doing but it installs the package as one item in the Module Definitions page and one item in the Control Panel dropdown list, whereas I want separate items for each module - but all installed in one process, just like DNN 4.

Nevertheless, I will use your site to take another look at it and let you know how I get on.

Thanks

Geoffrey

Hurray!

It worked using code like...

<dotnetnuke type="Package" version="5.0">
  <packages>
    <package name="Module1" type="Module" version="1.0.0">

   </package>

   <package>

    <package name="Module2" type="Module" version="1.0.0">

   </package>

 </packages>

</dotnetnuke>

Now I wonder what I was doing wrong before?

Many thanks

Geoffrey
