What tabels do dynamicweb update when an developer uses the module developer tool in the backend to register newly developed modules, im asking because we would like to automaticly register our module in the database instead of using the dynamicweb developer module.

Hi there,

AFAIK, only the Module table. But the best way to find this out is to use the SQL Server Profiler and then register a module. That way you can see the exact SQL statements used to register the module which you can then copy and paste.

 

Cheers,

You could also do it programmatically. It would look something like this...

var moduleSystemName = "MyAmazingModule";
 
if (!Base.IsModuleInstalled(moduleSystemName, true))
{
var module = new Dynamicweb.RegisterModules.Module
{
SystemName = moduleSystemName,
Description = "bla bla",
Script = "/CustomModules/MyAmazingModule/MyAmazingModule_Backend.aspx",
ControlPanel = "/CustomModules/MyAmazingModule/MyAmazingModule_Cpl.aspx"
};
module.Save();
}

In case someone wants a bit more detail on this, check out this article on my company's web site: http://devierkoeden.com/Articles/[articleId/40]/Custom-Modules---Part-9---Auto-Registering-Modules.aspx
