Hello All,

I've very new to DNN module development, let alone programming in general, so this maybe an easy question for some but I can't seem to find the answer.  I'm in the process of creating my first module, well I've got a template and good idea, anyway when I create this module I want to be able to allow users to test it, but only on the localhost, for now. 

First, how do I accomplish that, and Second, is that something I need to worry about at the start of my project or is it a simple tweak here or there to allow it to work in either a dev or production environment?

Thanks,
Bob

Thanks for the reply Bill...

I do want to grant view and edit permission based on the roles or individual users who would be allowed to normally view and/or edit the module settings or data, whether on a localhost or using on a normal production/live server.  

I just want to incorporate the feature that a lot of developers do now, that allow folks to test drive a module before actually purchasing it.  Like a demo, of sorts, but it would only work on the localhost vs someone installing in on their active server.

Would that still be the "Request.ServerVariables collection" you mentioned?

Obviously based on my other post I'm not anywhere near ready for this feature, but didn't know if that's something I should do from the beginning or if its something I could add in, fairly easy, down the road.

Thanks,
Bob
