    Hi, I've a DNN site. Current is v9.1.1, started is 8.0.3

    I developed custom modules and I add some custom setting inside Module Settings Tab (https://invisiblefarm-my....l_zlQtx0zg?e=6WDx3t)

    I used this code

                    ModuleController moduleController = new ModuleController();
                    PortalSettings portalSettings = (PortalSettings)HttpContext.Current.Items["PortalSettings"];
                    ModuleInfo moduleInfo = moduleController.GetModuleByDefinition(portalSettings.PortalId, "Site Settings");
                    int GlobalId = moduleInfo.ModuleID;
                    Hashtable globalSettings = moduleController.GetModuleSettings(GlobalId);
                    if (globalSettings.Contains(key))
                        return globalSettings[key].ToString();
                    else
                        return _default;

    to open Settings Module

    I notice, with v9.1.1, var moduleInfo is always NULL because "Site Settings" isn't in DB (table ModuleDefinitions): what'is the workaround?

    Thanks

      Take a look at Chris Hammond's templates (christoc.com) for building modules and you'll see examples of how to do this.

          Hi Joe,

          I watched tutorials like you suggested but I didn't find the solution at my problem.

          With the code I had posted, I obtain this globalSettings hashtable (this is my module settings)

          Count = 4
              ["max_anno"]: "2019"
              ["west_nile_search_url"]: "/cerca"
              ["search_url"]: "/../../cerca"
              ["min_anno"]: "2017"

          With DNN 9.1.0, moduleController.GetModuleByDefinition(portalSettings.PortalId, "Site Settings") always return NULL value: why? Is there an alternative? Consider that this method is in an abstract class that is used a in my code by module Settings class

          Thanks

            Not a tutorial, but Chris' templates.
