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
