Installing a new feature not visible in the molule list

Hi everyone,

I have developed a new feature, and installed it into my mojo portal. The update process ran smoothly, however the new feature did not show up in the list of available modules when editing a page.

I reviewed the ../setup/default.aspx and found that SiteId being passed to the mp_ModuleDefinitions_Insert stored proc is -1, which prevents it from being added to the mp_SiteModuleDefinitions table.

I am running a multi site setup and am not able to see this module in the 'master' website, but if I select a child site, I can add the feature to the child site. 

How do I make the new feature visible in the master site without "Forking" up the code?

Any feedback on this issue would be appreciated.

 

Thanks in advance.

You can either manually install the feature (Administration, Advanced Tools, Feature Installation & Configuration), or create a config file that will automatically install your feature when you run Setup. See the Installation System documentation for complete details.

Re: Installing a new feature not visible in the molule list

Note that when you install a new feature using either the manual or config file approach it only installs it in the root master site, ie the first site. To install it in child sites you must go to Administration > Site List (in the root site), choose the child site then you will see a tab for installing available features in the child site.

Hope that helps,

Joe
