Controlling ModuleActions by business logic 

I want to control the visibility of the AddContent action by custom business logic. The problem is that the "business" information is not available yet when the skin calls my ModuleActions() method.

How can I control the ModuleAction visibility in Module_Load event?

Re: Controlling ModuleActions by business logic 
Can you associate the ModuleActions with Roles?  That's how I think DNN is really setup to handle who gets what actions...

Any reason why you can't use Module_Init?

Re: Controlling ModuleActions by business logic 

The businnes logic information is not available at module_init.

This is the scenario:

We have two modules on the page - one selector let us call it M1 and one viewer, call it M2

The user selects something in M1, triggering a postback. M1_init and M2_Init are called - but the new selection is still not available.

Now M1 and M2 retrireves the Action collection, and finally M1_Load is called updating the Session, making the new values available to M2.

Question: Is the selected value property of a dropdownlist available at M1_Init? Because then we could update the session in Init...

Re: Controlling ModuleActions by business logic 
Business logic information is available when you get it.
If you need it on the Module Actions property just make a call to whatever method you need and get the information. Then you can code visibility to your action items based on whatever information you got. I've used this a couple of times, no magic in it.
