New custom module using Thunder

Posted by Community Admin on 18-Sep-2012 00:00

I've added a new custom module called Test (using Sitefinity Thunder). It creates two classes and without changing too much when I run Sitefinity the module is installed.

My install method looks like this:

public override void Install(SiteInitializer initializer)

App.WorkWith().

Module(MyTestModule.ModuleName, initializer.PageManager).Install().

CreateModulePage(Guid.NewGuid(), "MyTestModule").

SetOrdinal(1).

ShowInNavigation().

SetTitle("MyTestModule").

SetHtmlTitle("MyTestModule").

SetDescription("MyTestModule").

SetUrlName("MyTestModule").

PlaceUnder(CommonNode.Content).

AddControl(new Literal() Text = "<h1 class=\"sfBreadCrumb\">Module MyTestModule Installed</h1>", Mode = LiteralMode.PassThrough );

1. It places the new admin menu under Content > Classification of Content, which I didn't want, I just want it under Content?
2. Where do you go from here???
2.1. How do I added a list view page
2.2 How do I add the edit page

I've looked at the testimonials example in the SDK but that uses a very different set of code, which didn't work for me.

Thanks,
Jacques

Quick follow up to my post:
I restarted the app again and for some reason the module was removed and now the SystemConfig.config shows an error for this module.
