Adding feature in layout.master of My skin

Hello Joe

I am adding all pages and the features added in per page as requirement dynamically through config file.
For ex:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<siteContent>
<pages>
<page
name="How This Works"
title=""
url="~/how-this-works.aspx"
menuImage=""
pageOrder="1"
requireSSL="false"
visibleToRoles="All Users;"
editRoles="Content Publishers;"
createChildPageRoles=""
pageMetaKeyWords=""
pageMetaDescription=""
>

<contentFeature
featureGuid= "FBBA148C-B3C3-428A-9842-410DE99F878E"
contentTitle="HowThisWorks"
contentInstaller="mojoPortal.Web.HtmlContentInstaller, mojoPortal.Web"
configInfo="~/Setup/applications/Mobilyzer/FeatureDefinitions/10000_HowThisWorks.Config"
location="center"
sortOrder="1"
cacheTimeInSeconds="0"
/>
<contentFeature
featureGuid="0C2DA943-578B-4B74-8511-7D1772E677DE"
contentTitle="HowThisWorks1"
contentInstaller="mojoPortal.Web.HtmlContentInstaller, mojoPortal.Web"
configInfo="~/Setup/applications/Mobilyzer/FeatureDefinitions/10000_HowThisWorks1.Config"
location="center"
sortOrder="2"
cacheTimeInSeconds="0"
/>

<contentFeature
featureGuid="4D9D2948-4F32-4757-977C-3D8DBCC43CFB"
contentTitle="SearchCauses"
contentInstaller="mojoPortal.Web.HtmlContentInstaller, mojoPortal.Web"
configInfo="~/Setup/applications/Mobilyzer/FeatureDefinitions/10000_SearchCauses.Config"
location="right"
sortOrder="3"
cacheTimeInSeconds="0"
/>

<contentFeature
featureGuid="A4409D3D-2D38-4A1D-9213-02FC30198403"
contentTitle="Sign Up"
contentInstaller="mojoPortal.Web.HtmlContentInstaller, mojoPortal.Web"
configInfo="~/Setup/applications/Mobilyzer/FeatureDefinitions/10000_SignUpHome.Config"
location="right"
sortOrder="4"
cacheTimeInSeconds="0"
/>

</page>
</pages>
</siteContent>
Pages are created but I have problem in skin after running the Setup.I have set my skin as Default.

I am using a skin for my site which i have putted inside Data folder.

The path is C:\Users\nivedita\Desktop\Project\My_Projects\My_Projects.Features.UI\Data\Sites\1\skins\My_Projects-Home
Inside My_Projects-Home skin in layout.master I am adding my login feature.For that feature to run we are putting [ModuleDefID] from [dbo].[mp_Modules].
The Code is
<div class="login-module">
<portal:ModuleWrapper ID="mdl33" runat="server" ConfigureModuleID="45" />
</div>
As when the setup runs for first time database and pages are created so how can i know which
feature have which [ModuleDefID] so that we can set in layout.master.

Is there any other way to put feature in layout.master of my skin?

 

Thanks

Nivedita

Re: Adding feature in layout.master of My skin

If I had a suggestion I would make one but I don't.

ModuleWrapper is kind of a work around and hack, use it if you must but avoid it if you can has always been my advice about it.

It requires knowing the module id and there is no way to know the module id ahead of time so you cannot already have it in layout.master at the time of site creation.
