Re: Object Qualifiers

If it is a custom module, then you may be able to change the SQL script that comes with it so that it does not use the objectQualifier token.

Just search in the script and remove it. I would test this out in a non-production environment first though.

Re: Object Qualifiers

The problem is then you can't use the DAL+ method for module creation. It will look for the object qualifier. I posted about that problem here.

Re: Object Qualifiers

I'm not up to speed on the DAL+, but if you are developing your own dataprovider you can have it work however you like.

From reading that other thread it looks like you were close to doing that.

I have been following the other thread and I was waiting for you guys to figure that one out :) However, I'm not sure if this statement is talking about the same thing.

The DAL+ works great with the object qualifier that is set for the current instance of the DotNetNuke site. Now I did not have any examples in my tutorials and I realized the omission when I was using the DAL+ for the FotoVision Module. So if you download the FotoVision module and look at the "controller.vb" file you will see the proper use of the DAL+ using object qualifiers.

From this I can overright the default objectQualifier, correct? Instead of using the default "dnn_", I can change the property to "new_" or even "".

Ahhh yeah.....

I bet this is also how I can specify a different connection string too, from my other post. change the providerType from "data" to "newData".

Private Const ProviderType As String = "data"

Private _providerConfiguration As Framework.Providers.ProviderConfiguration = Framework.Providers.ProviderConfiguration.GetProviderConfiguration(ProviderType)
