Great work on the current release.

I have quite a few breaking changes in my modules, particularly around the new popup screen.

For example, I have a module that has an item in the action menu to "edit plans". The popup will load that shows a list of "plans", and you can edit each plan by clicking the pencil which goes through the standard EditUrl function.

Now when you click on the pencil to edit, you'll get an object moved in the popup.

Is the new popup feature for displaying edit pages only designed to handle a single page at a time? Is there anyway to progress to another page? Or should we be dynamically loading everything on the same edit form?

How does the control panel work in active forums? Is that in the popup?

Okay - I've seen how it works in user accounts -> manage profile properties

I'll try to emulate that behaviour.

Just to answer the questions I posted, a few things I've discovered:

1.) The links need to be presented to the client on render (not in the postback) so they can be appended with the necessary popup script.

2.) You can turn the popup off functionality in the control definitions.

Is there a way in a postback to still progress inside a popup? e.g. typically we might want to save data before moving on to the next step.

Response.Redirect(EditUrl("EditPlan"), True)

Hi Scott,
You can disable the popup behavior in the manifest if you are using a DNN5 manifest format. Here is an example a module control section with popups disabled.:
<moduleControl>
                    <controlKey>Edit</controlKey>
                    <controlSrc>DesktopModules/DNNCorp/Commerce/ControlPanel.ascx</controlSrc>
                    <supportsPartialRendering>False</supportsPartialRendering>
                    <controlTitle>Control Panel</controlTitle>
                    <controlType>Edit</controlType>
                    <iconFile />
                    <helpUrl />
                    <supportsPopUps>False</supportsPopUps>
                    <viewOrder>0</viewOrder>
                  </moduleControl>


Active Forums and Active Social will need to have maintenance releases to make sure the popups are disabled.

Thanks Will - I'll be using that, but also migrating towards using more of the popup functionality too.

Nice work on the release - do we have an estimated release date?
