Create Module Control during installation of module in DNN

I have finished developing my module for dotnetnuke, but I need to have my controls pages already added after the module is installed instead of adding all the control pages myself

enter image description here

Solution

  • Found my answer:

    In the solution explorer, there is a file that is called the name of your module with the file extension of dnn. Ex: MyModule.dnn

    Open that and look for the tag <moduleControl>. From there you can create your own control that will be added during the installation process.

    Here is my example:

    <moduleControl>
    <controlKey>GestionCategories</controlKey>
    <controlSrc>DesktopModules/DemandePosteEnLigne/GestionCategories.ascx</controlSrc>
    <supportsPartialRendering>False</supportsPartialRendering>
    <controlTitle>Gestion des Categories</controlTitle>
    <controlType>Edit</controlType>
    <iconFile />
    <helpUrl />
    <viewOrder>0</viewOrder>
    <supportsPopUps>True</supportsPopUps>
</moduleControl>
