Module settings installation

Hi, Joe.

I'm creating my custom module and now I'm faced with such a problem installing the module settings.
First I did a manual install of one module setting using the Site Administrative Features under Admin Menu > Feature Definitions > Feature Definition Settings. Then I tried to add some more settings using a featureDefinition file as it's shown on the training video "Building a Guestbook".
But when clicking the link "Settings" of my custom module I see only the first setting installed manually. And when I go to Admin Menu > Feature Definitions > Feature Definition Settings I see the settings installed by using the Module Settings system.

The featureGuid in my featureDefinition file and on the ~/Admin/ModuleDefinitions.aspx? is the same.

What can be the cause?

Re: Module settings installation

I would make sure the row for your feature instance in mp_Modules has the correct ModuleDefId and FeatureGuid

If it is correct there then visiting the setup page should add the new setting, make sure the setting you created manually is also in your feature definition.

Hope that helps,

Joe

Re: Module settings installation

I  don't know what ModuleDefId is correct . Where can I see it?

I compared the FeatureGuid in mp_Modules table with the FeatureGuid in featureDefinition file. They were different. So I replaced the FeatureGuid in featureDefinition file with the FeatureGuid in mp_Modules table. It really helped.

Thanks a lot
