I have not delved into the DMX API yet, so I wondered is it open enough to include support for adding popup menu options? E.g. if I have an html file, and I want to open it in the current web browser, I know that by visiting the file via its WebDAV URL will display it. So having an option to "View current file" would be pretty useful to me. Also, I might want to develop different web applications which consume the contents of a particular file for viewing. For example, if I have a KML file, and I want to right-click on it to display it in a Google Earth web plugin, would I be able to add such an option? I ask these questions without knowledge of the API because I do know that it took an upgrade of DMX to be able to right-click and open Word 2007 documents in Word. But I don't know if that's because the code that generates that menu is proprietary or because it was easier for the upgrade to do that versus users customizing the menu.

Hi Patrick, Take a look at the following file: DesktopModules/Bring2mind/DMX/Resources/DefaultMenus/DefaultMenu.resources which is copied to Portals/[id]/DMX/Menu/ This is an XSL file that generates the menu. To see the XML that it operates on, log in as host and go to Main Options and select 'Debug mode'. Restart the application and check the following file that appears when you click in DMX Portals/[id]/DMX/Temp/LastRequestedMenu.Xml That should give you some pointers in the right direction. Peter

About Bring2mind

Bring2mind is the company of Peter Donker, a DotNetNuke enthusiast who has been involved with the platform from the very beginning. At the same time as the market for modules emerged, he realized there was no good document management solution for the platform yet and he set about creating this. In part he based the module on his experience with other document management systems he used while working as a researcher. His module, Document Exchange, was an instant success and has since become the premier document management solution for DotNetNuke. In 2004 he created Bring2mind as a vehicle for the module and is one of the few successful businesses solely based on a DotNetNuke product.
