Answer 1

When you created the module through the module definitions page, one of the things it asked for is the folder name. The module files will be place under the ~/DesktopModules/[yourmodule]/ folder. To modify the files, you'll need to use an external editor of some form. In the Module Controls section of the Module Definition page, you'll be able to select any ascx file within the folder that you specified for the module.

Here is how new modules in dnn are developed and deployed:

• in your development site, you can login to host and go to host > extensions > create new extension
• follow the wizard to create new extension
• that will create a new module in your ~/DesktopModules folder.
• develop your module and test it in the dev environment
• once you are ready with the release, go to Host > Extensions
• edit your module
• click on create package wiard
• follow the wizard and it will create a new module package (.zip file) which you can install in production environment site.
