    Hi,

    I have a module that for certain reasons has to delete all it's content when I start an import. Is there a way to display a warning when the user clicks on the Import module action, and confirm it? Something like "Importing deletes all the current content and replaces it with the imported content. Are you sure you want to continue? [Yes]|[No]"?

    Or ist that behaviour normal enough, so everyone is aware of this? The HTML behaves like this, for example...

    I once did something like this in the module action menu with the "normal" actions by injecting some jquery script. I could "save" the ID of the generated action from the IActionable interface, and that way I could hook the jquery script into the click event (DNN.Survey, the "Delete results" action. But how can I find the action ID of the Import action (consider localizations, the text in the action menu might not be "Import").

    Happy DNNing!
