Dear Hans-Peter,

Is it possible to split existing content into two or more modules? Say, I have 20 entries in a single DNNPortal-Download module, and need to create two modules with 10 entries in each. Copying a module and then editing won't work because copying is really shadowing. Another option would be to export/import content, but I can't see it for this module. What would you suggest?

Danke schoen,

Dear Hans-Peter,

thank you for the quick answer. It looks like a deficiency of the core framework that there is no way to create a copy of a module and then work with it separately from the initial module.

I followed your suggestion, but ran into several problems. I select "Use local file" and specify "DNNPortal-Download/username"  as File Location. I can now see all files in the directory (initially I could see just a single file so had to synchronize with database in FileManager), but there is no way to see a file extension for longer filenames. Further, when I try to select a local Preview image and point to the same folder, the selection box doesn't display any files at all.

I ended up copying files from "DNNPortal-Download/username" to some other folder (with FileManager) and renaming all of them to remove the ".resources" extension, then synchronizing with database, before I could bring them into DNNPortal-Download as local files. What am I doing wrong? It sounds like re-uploading all files from local machine would be faster.

Thanks,

Hans-Peter,

thanks for looking into this; if you make progress on import/export for the module, I'd be happy to test.

In the meantime, is there any way I can tweak tables in SQL to make some of the uploaded files appear in a different DNNportal-download module?

Thanks,
