I have a couple of questions concerning the Nothwin sample portal.
1.
Looking through the xml files of the Northwind example, I cant seem to find how you made the Northwind Connection to the database in SQL.
Is this a matter of adding it the the web.config file of the DNN Portal. If so can you explane how this was done regardless if it was done within the ListX module or the DNN Portal.
2.
Can you explane why the orders list page pulls the data up the first time you log in, but if you goto another page and then return to the Orders List you have to select a one of the pages of 50 orders to see any data. I would think that anytime you go back to the page it would default to the first 50 orders and display them every time.
I hope I am explaning the problem correctly.
3.
Do you have a very basic example of how you are going to the detail of each order without using all the bells and whistles (IE. The toolbars and any special HTML formatting.
I find myself strugling with the basics somewhat of how your product functions. Other than that I am looking forward to using it more becasue it appears to be one of the best modules out there for DNN.
Thank you,
Doug Blackmon

I'll do my best to answer your questions.
1. The connection is established through the web.config file. I actually installed DNN into the Northwind database. The process is the same as installing to a new database, but I pointed to Northwind, rather than a new database. If you still need help setting this up, email me at bgates@bi4ce.com and I'll be more than happy to help.
2. I'm afraid I either can't reproduce this, or I'm not understanding. When you click the Orders tab on the menu, it takes you to a task list, showing Add New Order, and List Orders. If that's what you're referring to, then that's by design. Consider it like the task list in Quicken. It's a launching point, designed for pre-filtering, reporting, or any other common tasks related to orders, but not just the simple listing.
3. Navigation to the Order Details, and throughout the entire site, is handled through ListX's Actions. There is an Action type for Redirect. The buttons on the page are Toolbar buttons, which raise the message that ListX is listening for, in order to execute the Redirect Action.
I hope this helps. If you still have questions with your specific setup, don't hesitate to email me bgates@bi4ce.com. |

In responses to your reply in the forums concerning the Northwind database.
In reference to:
Question 1
I now understand how you achieved that. I was under the assumption that maybe you were connecting to a separate Database. Is this possible within the LixtX Module using a SQL connection string.
Question 2
I am sending you an email with screen shoots showing you what is happening. In a nut shell it appears that data from the database is not populating reliable. For example today when I went to the Northwind website none of the orders populated the ListX space provided. I hit refresh and then orders appeared.
Question 3
I am slowly figuring out how to achieve this task, my real problem is stripping out the bells and whistles from the actually Meat and Potatoes. If you could possibly provide very basic examples showing one thing at a time instead of grouping a number of features togeather would be very helpfull.
Again great product, well worth the money.

One point to note here is that we specifically created the Doctor Management Package such that you could load this in a local manner and use it as a learning tool. Northwind is meant to be an online example of the potential type of use for NukeDk.Listx. We have expanded on its use as a learning tool thru the Doctor Management Package. Doctor Management has all the functionlity that you find in the Northwind Order Entry example and more. It includes the typical Add, edit ,delete, view as well as search, list, sort, filter, use of various controls, access to database tables, inline editing, use of the tinyMCE editor for controls, use of the image gallery, parent - child based forms, support table management, etc...
It is really a useful learning tool. It was released with version 1.96 as a listX Package. It is also availble for download on this page - http://dnn.bi4ce.com/Default.aspx?tabid=1177.
