Hi

I am using Mojo (version 2310) for an online learning resource. One of the activities we want the students to do is to fill out a form and then to post a link to it on a forum to discuss.

I would like to do this by creating a custom module that allows the students to fill out the form, when they submit the form a html module is created and added to the database. I will then have another custom module that will display the html module (based on the module id).

My code to create and submit the html module would be something like:

protected void SubmitBtn_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
   CreateHtmlModule();
}
protected void CreateHtmlModule()
{
  try
  {
    SiteSettings siteSettings = CacheHelper.GetCurrentSiteSettings();
    // get the moduledefid
    int moduleDefID = 1;
    // get the module definition
    ModuleDefinition moduleDefinition = new ModuleDefinition(moduleDefID);
    // create module
    mod = new Module();
    mod.SiteId = siteSettings.SiteId;
    mod.SiteGuid = siteSettings.SiteGuid;
    mod.ModuleDefId = moduleDefID;
    mod.FeatureGuid = moduleDefinition.FeatureGuid;
    mod.Icon = moduleDefinition.Icon;
    mod.CacheTime = moduleDefinition.DefaultCacheTime;
    mod.ModuleTitle = "Documentation Template";
    mod.PaneName = "contentPane";
    mod.AuthorizedEditRoles = "Admins";
    mod.CreatedByUserId = SiteUtils.GetCurrentSiteUser().UserId;
    mod.Save();
    UpdateModule();
  }
  catch (Exception ex)
  {
    // write out the error
  }
}
protected void UpdateModule()
{
  try
  {
    HtmlContent html = new HtmlContent(mod.ModuleId);
    html.BeginDate = DateTime.UtcNow;
    html.EndDate = DateTime.UtcNow.AddYears(20);
    html.Body = "<p>Hello There</p>";
    html.LastModUserGuid = SiteUtils.GetCurrentSiteUser().UserGuid;
    html.ModuleGuid = mod.ModuleGuid;
    html.LastModUtc = DateTime.UtcNow;
    html.Save();
  }
  catch (Exception ex)
  {
    // write out the error
  }
}

Would this work or will I muck everything up?

Many Thanks

Tracey

Hi Joe

Many Thanks for your speedy response. I do see what you mean about keeping features self contained and must admit that doing it this way doesn't sit that well. I just thought it might be neater than creating a new custom table to house the student submissions in. I will have a think.

Thanks again Joe much appreciated
