I have been using DotNetNuke for several weeks, but there is one thing that I cannot understand. How can I find out in which area the module is located. I mainly use version 7, but I also tried version 6. I can not find this information anywhere.
When the page is in edit mode in 7.x, it is possible to move the module to another panel by moving the cursor over the navigation icon. DNN displays a list of panels in which the module can be moved when the mouse is above the move icon. DNN knows in which area the module is located, since the current panel is excluded from the list. However, in the "Settings for the module" section there is no property to tell you in which area the module is located.
This is really important because most skins have LOTS (20+) different panels. Usually the panels add up, it’s quite difficult to determine in which area the module is located, based solely on the module’s position on the page. Knowledge of the current area of one module is required to obtain the correct layout when adding new modules.
The only thing that works is to use the elimination process. I can determine the current panel of the module if I can find which panel is NOT in the list of panels where I can move this module. This method is tedious and unusable if you are trying to work with modules through the page management admin screen. I am missing where to find this property or not available. If it is not available, is there a better way to post items that I am missing?
