Step 2. Data Settings

Select data settings options

Note: If you will be using a category navigation dashboard or use the FatGeorge Tag Cloud control add-on for Xmod to present category links, you will need to add filtering using URL parameters to your XMod data settings.

Note: If you will be using MMI6 Sub Categories form you will also want to add the URL filter for the SavedSubCategory form field..

 

Note: If you allow search functionality use the code above for the search box text. When configuring the Search Box link, replace tabid=89 with the DotNetNuke page tabid number that your XMod module is on. You will find this tabid number in the browser URL window when in Configure XMod Module mode.

The above settings will display an Add New Listing button in the footer of the module and enable users that have security rights to add a listing.
