Module Settings - Where do they belong? 

I am trying to develop a relatively simple module (first one) that will be used to display a boundary map, and potentially allow a user to locate their address on the same map. If their address is ouside of the boundary, then an

Re: Module Settings - Where do they belong? 

Sorry about that...looks like the last post got cut off.

To simplify, I am trying to make a module that displays a map. The HTML of this map is fixed, only a few lines of javascript change periodicaly.  To do this, I would expect to have a ViewControl.ascx which has all the HTML in it, and in it's code behind inject the "variable" part of the javascript.  I can do this just fine, and it is working well.

Now I want to have 1 or 2 settings to control things like the size of the map etc.  When I am logged in as the host, and I view my module, the control panel is in "Edit" mode...there are no actions available for my module....and therefore no obvious way to display the SettingsControl.ascx.   Since I'm the host, I assume that security isn't the problem, but more likely I didn't do something right.

I've read half a dozen tutorials and things, but none of them actually seem to explain how to do Settings...they all want to create a robust DAL to store multiple Items, edit them etc....all of which I don't need (at least not yet).  So, can anyone give me some guidance about what I need to do to make "actions" show up in my ViewControl and how I hook them to the SettingsControl.ascx?

Thanks in advance

Re: Module Settings - Where do they belong? 

Paul,

take a look here: http://www.adefwebserver.com/DotNetNukeHELP/Personalization

to add your settings page (ascx) to your module, create the page with proper name and add it to your module controls with proper key (use current Text/HTML module as simple template).
