DotNetNuke Modules * ActiveHTML

Brillnat ActiveHTML module 
(DNN v. 3 & 4)

This and other Brillnat modules can be purchased on snowcovered.com

A data access HTML module that functions like an asp:repeater control. For HTML savvy DotNetNuke implementers who want completely flexible data display capability.

You provide a connection string, a SQL statement, and then fill in the templates for data formatting using tags to insert data where ever you want. See settings example or another example.

You can format your data in an HTML table, a collection of div tags, or list elements. The module provides four templates (header, Item, AlternateItem, and Footer). See template samplesand more, or a data cloud example.

The HTML generated by combining the collected data with the templates is cached in a custom table in the DotNetNuke Database. A setting is provided to define the number of minutes that must pass before the database is re-queried and the data is combined with the templates and populate the modules output. This will reduce calls to the database on data that doesn't change often.
