Tutorial: Create a Testimonials intra-site module
This tutorial guides you through the steps required to create a custom intra-site module. As an example, you create a Testimonials module. The Testimonials custom module is a simple user widget-based module for maintaining a list of testimonials that are submitted by users. Frontend users have the option to submit their testimonial, while
backend users are able to access a page in Sitefinity CMS backend that
provides an overview of all submitted testimonials and the possibility
to edit them.
The Testimonials module tutorial demonstrates how to create and install a basic intra-site module, based on a user widget.
You can find a full code sample for the Testimonials module in Sitefinity CMS GitHub repository.
