custom modules

I need to develop custom modules such as search (which would allow user to search in a specific database based on dropdownlist, keywords etc). The main idea is to develop these modules and with the help of kentico we can just deploy it without any problems. I have seen the tutorial, in which it provides some understanding on how to develop these modules. (For example, i would like to develop a module of my own and just use it).

can anybody direct me in this.

Re: custom modules

I have developed a user control (ascx file), which display data from a database onto a grid. There is a link in each row that point to another web page. I have couple of questions, which i hope you can help me in that

Example i have the following menu structure

Option 1
-----Option 2

Option 2 is a page template, which does the above mentioned functionality. However this template has a link that points to another web page (which is also a template). i am also passing some parameters through a querystring. Should i make another sub option of option 1 and hide it in navigation to do this or is there another way around.

Since these two templates are based on custom controls then how can i use them just like we have a forum module etc.

I am still evaluating this product, although the documentation is good but i am finding it hard to get more out of it.

I hope it make sense of what i am trying to do and would appreciate any help.

Re: custom modules

Hello,

Thank you for your details. Could you please describe what the relation between Option 1 and Option 2 is? I'm not sure what you mean by "Should i make another sub option of option 1 and hide it in navigation to do this or is there another way around.". Why do you want to create another document and hide it?

If you need to place a user control on the page, you can either place it directly on the page template (ASPX) or you can insert it as an inline user control into the text using the special expression %%control:mycontrol%%. You can find more details on this option in Developer's Guide -> Creating user controls.

Best Regards,
