Hi all

We add the function described here :http://developer.dynamicweb-cms.com/documentation/for-developers/dynamicweb-custom-modules/building-modules-series/auto-registering-modules.aspx for automatically adding modules to the database, however in DW8 the ability to set the controlpanel path is removed from the API so it must be added manually afterwards. Any way this could be reverted to the previously state?

I'm not sure if that property was ever saved and I don't think there is any other way to do that... other than making your own Module class.

Most custom modules has a control panel, so I don't understand why this property is missing.

There is an API for adding nodes to the tree in management center (Dynamicweb.Content.Management.Tree), but unfortunately this is now internal :(

Dynamicweb administration is just not as extensible as it is in any other comparable CMS on the market. This sucks baboon ass!

Everything else in Dynamicweb is great ;-)

Hi Allan & Morten

Yes, the ControlPanel property is missing in DW 8 API. I've now added it again to Dynamicweb.Modules.Module and it will be there as of 8.2 due November 27th. (TFS #10414)

@Morten: If you have any good suggestions for improving extensibility, feel free to post it here, mail me or even send me an old fashioned letter, and i'll be happy to see what we can do!
