The most powerful DotNetNuke Forms Module just added a world of new flexibility. This update is so big we got a little carpal tunnel syndrome, just typing up the list of new features. And these are not just filler features either. They're solid core features you can leverage to the hilt. You're going to love what we've packed inside. Come take a look...

Welcome to the NEW DNNDev.com

Welcome to the NEW DNNDev.com. We've completely redesigned the place, giving it a cleaner and more modern looking feel. We've even squeezed in room for a WHOLE University... well, a virtual one at least. Our site redesign isn't just a pretty makeover. We have re-thought and re-committed ourselves to providing you the best support possible. So, we've surfaced much of the material you had to dig for on the old site. We've gathered our writings in an Articles section, all our Videos can be found on one page, we've added a brand new (and growing) Guide to XMod Pro, and more. More importantly, we invested in the tools necessary to enhance and grow the vibrant, knowledgeable community that surrounds XMod Pro and have leveraged XMod Pro to make them better.

You can discuss XMP and DNN topics on our Discuss page, you can share your ideas for improvement directly on the Ideas page, and much more. Of course, you can follow other members, make friends, message other users, and up vote your favorites. You can even earn badges and privileges as your reputation grows from your community contributions. In other words, it's not just a social "slap-on", it's integral to how we view XMod Pro's place within the DotNetNuke ecosystem. Community and cooperation are paramount. Through our interactions and sharing, we all benefit.

Since we began in 2004, many other companies have come and gone. I'm convinced that our longevity and consistent appearance on the module bestseller lists is because of the support we receive from our wonderful community members. We build our software to support you. Now we've built an entire site around you. We've got a lot of exciting things planned for the coming months and years. I hope you enjoy your new home.

What They're Saying

After using this product, I find that it is very flexible and most things can be worked out with a little thought. I am using this extensively on a new site and it saved me a ton of development money. Great product!...

“XMod Pro (XMP) Is An Awesome Tool: Being an experienced software developer and a XMP user since beta version 9.0 I must say I'm impressed with what XMP brings to the table; if you are a DNN administrator or designer, this is something you really must have.”...

“Best DotNetNuke-Module I Know!!! I used it daily for about 3 months and I have to say I'm deeply impressed. Very versatile, support is fast and they are improving it (adding new features, fixing) all the time. Plus very good value for your money as your entitled for updates for one year!”...

“Thanks again for all of your hard work on XMod Pro. It really has been instrumental in us being able to get our project completed in a timely fashion. We created more than 75 templates and 25 forms with XMP, which literally saved us months of development work. This is clearly the module I've been waiting for since I was introduced to DotNetNuke more than 3 years ago....

“First a quick thank you. I've been catching up on my XMod Pro syntax since I got a late start on working with the product and I have to say that I'm impressed! I thought that I would have to learn VB Script or C#, build my own module, and then I would be able to write a module that would write directly to a database. This is amazing! I already have built a database (something that I've never done before), written a template to display simple information from it, and an add form to add records to the database. Thanks Kelly for everything!”...

It takes a lot to get me to write a review but this product did it. It is so powerful and flexible it's just amazing. There are just so many places where you need a list or a table and this module makes it so easy to build the input form and the display. I got a little fancier and built a product catalog with uploadable PDFs and images. I could format the display of the catalog to conditionally show images if they were there and wrap a link around them. Really cool. Highly recommended....

I have to say, I am impressed. I mean I have been working with XMod since v1. So I can easily say that I was concerned over moving to a whole NEW version. But WOW! This is exactly what all of my customers really wanted. Something that can connect to existing tables in SQL, a wizard to create base forms, quick and easy modifications to templates and forms, and best of all the ability to store data in my own SQL tables. Version 2 of XMP is even better. Much easier to work with than ever before. This is great. All of my customers are already happy with what they have seen. This is a true HOMERUN for DNNDev!...

Wow! I've been working with different 3rd party form modules for about two months and nothing was working as it should. I just purchased the XMOD module and within an hour I had what I needed. It takes some time to learn some of the functionality, but not because the module is confusing, but because there is so much functionality. The user manual is over 400+ pages. This tells me that there is a lot of time and commitment to this product. Other user manuals for other forms modules are 10 pages, and you end up spending days in the support forums trying to get answers. Kudos to this product. I have to say hands down it is one of the best values! DNN Store Rating: 5 Stars (out of 5)...

I have just begun to scratch the surface of this module and already I'm very impressed. Easy to use and more importantly great documentation! Did I mention great documentation.

I have been around DNN now for over 4 years and I still can’t say enough about the XMod DNN module. It has allowed us to custom build several different data-driven web applications for our clients and all completely painlessly. The module itself is very user-friendly and immensely powerful yet the applications we build for our clients are super easy for them to use. Bottom line, as web developers we are happy and the client is happy, total win – win! Thanks Kelly for a truly fantastic module!...

I purchased XMOD quite a while ago and set up some basic forms and was amazed at how simple it was. I recently had to create a few more complex forms and am very happy with XMODs flexibility. There were times where I got stuck but the documentation is great so I could solve my problems quite quickly using the documentation and the forums. Keep up the good work! XMOD rocks!!!...

I needed to be able to enter and display tracking data for several Dotnetnuke users, without them seeing each others information. I was originally just doing a quick mock-up with Xmod, when it became obvious I had a live, working system with no coding! Needless to say, my 'demo' went very well and I got the contract.

If ONLY I could designate this as a core module! EXCELLENT support, EXTREMELY well-written documentation, great support site. Form & Template Exchange site is worth purchase price alone.

Absolutely essential module for anyone developing a DNN site. This module lets you develop almost any kind of data driven content for your site, really the limitation is your imagination. Fantastic support from the developers. You absolutely will not go wrong with this. ...

Kelly - just a quick follow up: I purchased XMOD 3 upgrade yesterday and the calendar add on. I installed it, read the help files wrote some simple xml fragments, and within an hour (start to finish) had a custom calendar module built and deployed for user testing. (One of the pre-built calendar styles even matched the sites color palette exactly) So far this morning, I've had real positive responses from the people testing the application. My only problem now is: can I bill clients on what it would have taken me to build custom components from scratch or what it really does take me with XMod!...

This is an amazing module. With XMod, we cut the development time for on custom DNN module from 20-60 hours to 8-10 hours (this would have probably been even less in the hands of a developer with more current skills). As an added benefit, the module we created also has a clear upgrade path to DNN 3.0 without us having to rework a custom module we developed. In this case XMod saved our relationship with our client and paid for itself many times over. I can’t say thank you enough for this excellent product!...

If I had only gotten XMod sooner I could have saved lots of time and some $ that I spent on other modules. This is a great way of doing custom development in DNN, without building a lot of individual modules. I have only had it 1 day and it is working great. The possibilities seem endless. Thanks so much!...

iCode Web Solutionscreated the topic: passing database values to url

Hi,
I am new to XMOD and am busy working with the department/employee demo and was wondering how I could achieve the following:

At the moment, when a user clicks on the employees picture, the details for that employee show in the right hand side.

Is there a way to take this a step further so that when an employees picture is clicked on, the employee's name will be ammended to the end of the page's URL?

I would like to add this functionality with the idea in mind that a user could navigate directly to a specific emplyee's details from a direct link.

I came across a video which Kelly posted discussing how to add Dynamic URL Parameters to Hyperlinks although I can't figure out how to apply this logic to what I am trying to achieve.

Any help with this will be greatly appreciated, thanks! :)

Can you duplicate your question on the Answers page as it's more of a direct question on how to achieve a particular goal?1 hour ago

Hi Roberts. I duplicated your code (but just with a few fields) on a test site and wasn't able to replicate the error. Have you figured out the problem yet?
