Proper way to access mojoportal database in a custom module?

Joe,

I plan to start writing my own modules in mojoPortal and want to do things the right way from the start. I understand that I should follow other module designs in mojoportal as far as not forking from the source code and that I should create my own project in the base solution folder like the other modules.

My question is about data access to the site database. I plan to inherit from your site base control, what classes do I have access to that will allow me INSERt/UPDATE/DELETE/ALTER/CREATE in the database?

Also, is there anything else I need to be aware of if I plan to offer my soure to the project? I have built mojoportal from svn and have followed your instructions for pulishing using unleashit.

Thanks,
     -Joe2

Re: Proper way to access mojoportal database in a custom module?

Hi,

I advise you that create your projects in a separated folder out of base solution folder and copy your project results(dlls,.apx,.ascx,...) to web folder by build event commands.

In data layer we don't have any base classes, and you can generate your data layer classes by some templates in the CodeSmithTemplates folder.

Hope Helps,

Asad
