Show Module in Content > Types of Content

Hi team,

I have a problem. I create new module called Doctor based on your Jobs Module in SDK 6.3. I want Doctor Module show on Content > Types of Content in SF backend as Jobs. How can I do that?

Please view attach file for more detail.

Thanks,

Hi Khoa,

Did you checked if the module is loaded and active in the installed modules list (Administration -> Modules & Services). Any missing Resources?

Any particular reason you are not using the Dynamic Module Builder for this? Just asking, since I converted most of my custom modules to Dynamic Modules and it is a lot easier to maintain.

Kind regards,
Daniel

Hi Daniel,

Thanks for your reply. I am sure the module is active in Administration -> Modules & Services and not missing any resource.

I create new module from scratch following the Job module in SDK. Could you let me know basically to show Custom Module in Content > Types of Content in SF backend?

As I know there are some ways to create custom module in SF:
- Creating new module by Sitefinity Module Builder
- Creating new module by Sitefinity Thunder
- Creating new module from scratch

Is there any else way? And please let me know which is the best way to create custom module?

Thanks so much,
Khoa

Hi Khoa,

If you followed the the example in the SDK, it should show up there. My experience is that most of the time you don't have the right resources. You also restarted your website? Can you check the error.log?

Depending on your needs I would definitely go with the Sitefinity Module Builder.

Kind regards,
Daniel.

Hi Khoa,

Some things to check maybe:

• Do you have the right VirtualPath providers in the VirtualPathProviderConfig.config file?
• Did you marked the .ascx and .js files inside your custom project to be 'Embedded Resources'?

Kind regards,
Daniel

Hi ,

first of all this exception is for favicon.ico which means that the icon is missing or the web server is not processing .ico files as mime type. 

second 

i have experience the same problem when my module name set in the module is different from the one used to register the module. When you register pages through the API that are for content module there is a code that defines for which module they are used and after that when the page is requested there is a code that checks if the module is activated and verify that by module name.
