Custom Configuration Items in Module

Posted by Community Admin on 11-May-2011 00:00

Hi All,

I am at the end of a SF4 development but due to some last minute changes i need to update my custom modules configuration to include a couple of extra strings but i cant seem figure out how?

I simply want to add a couple of string config items to this configuration below, can anyone point me in the right direction?

using System;

using System.Collections.Generic;

using System.Linq;

using System.Text;

using Telerik.Sitefinity.Modules.GenericContent.Configuration;

using Telerik.Sitefinity.Configuration;

using BlocksModule.Data;

namespace BlocksModule.Config

public class BlocksConfig : ContentModuleConfigBase

public override string DefaultProvider

get

return "Linq2SqlDataProvider";

protected override void InitializeDefaultProviders(Telerik.Sitefinity.Configuration.ConfigElementDictionary<string, Telerik.Sitefinity.Configuration.DataProviderSettings> providers)

providers.Add(new DataProviderSettings(this.Providers)

Name = "Linq2SqlDataProvider",

Description = "A provider that stores blocks data in a database using Linq2Sql.",

ProviderType = typeof(Linq2SqlDataProvider)

);

protected override void InitializeDefaultViews(Telerik.Sitefinity.Configuration.ConfigElementDictionary<string, Telerik.Sitefinity.Web.UI.ContentUI.Config.ContentViewControlElement> contentViewControls)

Hello Roberto,

There is a help section that explains how to work with configurations and how to create custom configuration. Does the articles help?

Hi Ivan,

I did find that but coudnt figure out how it was related, i will take another loo. I dont want to create a new configuration section, i have one, it already exists in my module, but past the basic provider setting that is in there i dont know how i can add to it (i want to add a url key etc), if you look at my code that is the config code of my module, can i use code that is in the config section documentation you linked to in that? if so, is there any chance you could provide a simple example that is related to my code?

Thanks,

Rob
