I want to place multiple DMX modules on a single page, but when I do so, they show the same information, rather than the separate files/fodlers they were programmed to display. How do I fix this?

First: any DMX module can be set to begin at any point in the document tree in the module settings. You can learn more about this in the “getting started” manual and the help file on module settings on DMX’s help menu.

But … some of DMX’s functions work through the querystring of the browser. This is by design. As a result ALL modules will react to this as there is only one querystring for a given request. Typically we advise not to use multiple instances on a single page because of this. Querystring driven requests can result in unexpected behavior. Although if any given user only sees one instance as a result of various permission settings, this would no longer be an issue.

One more thing: there is a big difference between the Ajax UI with its various callback panels and the template view with a simple HTML rendering of contents. Using multiple instances of the Ajax UI on a single page does place quite a burden on page load. Another thing to keep in mind.
