Locations module: Create the frontend definitions

After Locations module: Create the Locations view, you must wrap all of the frontend views in a ContentViewControlElement and return the element in the  DefineLocationsFrontendContentView method of the definitions class. To do this:

1. In Visual Studio, expand the LocationsModule project and open the LocationsDefinitions.cs file.
2. Add the following using statement: using LocationsModule.Web.UI.Public;
3. In the LocationsDefinitions class, implement the DefineLocationsFrontendContentView method in the following way:
   internal static ContentViewControlElement DefineLocationsFrontendContentView(ConfigElement parent)

   {

       // define content view control

       var controlDefinition = new ContentViewControlElement(parent)

       {

           ControlDefinitionName = LocationsDefinitions.FrontendDefinitionName,

           ContentType = typeof(LocationItem),

           UseWorkflow = false

       };

    

       // *** define views ***

    

       #region Locations List View

    

       // define element

       var locationsListView = new ContentViewMasterElement(controlDefinition.ViewsConfig)

       {

           ViewName = LocationsDefinitions.FrontendListViewName,

           ViewType = typeof(MasterListView),

           AllowPaging = true,

           DisplayMode = FieldDisplayMode.Read,

           ItemsPerPage = 4,

           FilterExpression = DefinitionsHelper.NotPublishedDraftsFilterExpression,

           SortExpression = "Title ASC",

           UseWorkflow = false

       };

    

       // add to content view

       controlDefinition.ViewsConfig.Add(locationsListView);

    

       #endregion

    

       #region Locations Details View

    

       // Initialize View

       var locationsDetailsView = new ContentViewDetailElement(controlDefinition.ViewsConfig)

       {

           ViewName = LocationsDefinitions.FrontendDetailViewName,

           ViewType = typeof(DetailsView),

           ShowSections = false,

           DisplayMode = FieldDisplayMode.Read

       };

    

       // add to ContentView

       controlDefinition.ViewsConfig.Add(locationsDetailsView);

    

       #endregion

    

       // return content view control

       return controlDefinition;

   }
