Hi
On page 148 of the DotNetNuke Module Programming book, it says that two controls will appear after adding the Guestbook module to the page: 'Sign Guestbook CS' and 'Guestbook CS'. However, I only get the 'Guestbook CS' control. How do I get the other too?
Also, I get the message 'This module has not yet been configured. Please check back later.' and I can't find the settings to change this. The settings for the Guestbook module don't seem to invoke UpdateSettings() in ViewSettings.ascx.cs, which is where the settings that removes this message is changed.
Can anyone help with either of these two issues?
Thanks, Mark |

Mark,
You need to be sure that the full control definition that you have matches that of the manifest from the book. it is the multiple control definitions that allow both items to show up.
Once you go into the settings and click "Save" or "Update" the settings will be recorded and the module will function. Keep in mind that both items need to be configured though before you can fully use the module. |

Hi
I am also facing the same problem.I cant see the Sign GuestbooksCS control. The Guestbook has two controls.GuestBookCS and Sign GuestBookCS. I checked the path everything. Its supposed to be pretty simple. And the strange thing is, ViewSetting.ascx is related to 2nd Control(Sign GuestbookCS), but to activate the 1st Control(GuestBookCS) you need to invoke Load Settings of ViewSetting.ascx to give value to ['WroxModules_Guestbook_SignModule]'? I have spent now 2 days try to figure out how to just install this module normally.
I would really appreciate some help here to finish my first DNN custom module.
Thanks

Hi There,
I finally managed to install my first dnn module. I am really really glad. It was not easy.
I really didnt do anything but copied the manifest given on your site. The one i had was of version 3.0.
I dont even want to get into version issues for now. As long as it works its fine.
I believe the main Important factor in DNN custom module is the Manifest file. If it is structured properly,
the rest part of coding should not be an issue.
Thanks for the support you give here.
