Hi:

I would like to create a custom module that allows the user to create a new dnn page like a simplified ManageTabs control (located in admin\Tabs\managetabs.ascx). The user only needs to set Page Name, Parent Page, and Permissions, as well as other non ManageTabs functioniality. What is the best way of accomplishing this? What is the simplest way to accomplish this?

This is for the lastest 4.9 version of dnn.

Will,

Thank you for the advice. I may try pulling out the parts of the code that I need, as you suggested. I was considering extending the managetabs class, but the fuction I need to call is private, which means that I would have to change the core by changing the function to protected.

Thinking outside the box, in that because the implementation is only for one client (very specific), I might require that the managetabs control is on the same page as the module that I am writing, and call the update for managetabs with javascript.

I will wait until tommorow before making the changes, so I will let you know how it turns out at our next ODUG meeting.
