We've received a number of requests for information about how to integrate XMod with other applications. To that end, I've uploaded a sample project that demonstrates much of the basic functionality that an application would require such as:

1. Displaying a list of XMod records
2. Displaying a detail view of an XMod record
3. Displaying an XMod form
4. Filling that form with data from a record

You can download the project here

If you have any questions, feel free to post or to contact me directly at kford@knowbetter.com.

 

If you were having troubles with the download link before, it's been corrected.

Best,
Kelly

Do you have any examples of Custom Controls using the IFormControl interface?

Thanks,

Thanks Kelly, this is a really valuable contribution.

I am trying to get a repeater in my ascx control to bind to the results of GetInstanceDataByPage, but passing in all the required params keeps breaking. The example linked above is out of date with XMod 5.

Thanks.

Hi John,

The example was posted back in 2005. Much has changed since then. Unfortunately, I don't have time to update the integration sample. However, if you are just having problems calling the XMod sproc, let me know what error(s) you're running into and I'll try to help.

Best,
Kelly

Hi,

How do I use the sample project?

I'm not a programmer and am unsure where to upload/install to.

Cheers,

mcotterill,

Which sample project are you referring to? The integration sample is outdated (as described above). Besides, it is intended for programmers and not as a distributable solution.

Best,
Kelly

Hi Kelly,

I am working on using the Xmod calendar to display and choose specific classes and add them to a user-defined list. This list will then be passed via parameters into a form for payment and enrolment details.

I am currently displaying the detail link from the calendar in a detail view module next to the calendar. I have then created an additional link in the detail view displayed that will (hopefully) add a new item to a list of an additional xmod module located below the detail view module to create a user-defined list (of sorts).

I would like the new list created by the user to be able to be added to and deleted from as needed until they have selected their prefered classes.

It is the process of getting the information from the calendar detail view link into the user defined list that I am a little stuck on. I was thinking that "sample 4.Filling that form with data from a record" could point me in the right direction. I was also thinking this may be possible by creating some custom controls behind the form that powers the user-defined list that puts the information where we want it.

You can see this in action at http://svc155.bne152v.server-web.com/SeafoodSchool/OnlineBookingCalendar/tabid/121/Default.aspx. The module titled "Your Selection" is where we want the list to appear.

Any direction on this would be appricated!

Thanks Kelly, Xmod is really a joy to work with and although I am not from a programming background, I am learning fast and loving it.
