Hello,

Problems trying to figure out how to set the category and web part title on a inherited MonoX webpart to my own.

I looked at the example, but that seems to be just setting it using the Base Part and not another web part.

I tried setting it in innit but no luck..

protected override void OnInit(EventArgs e)
{

this.CatalogCategory = "CustomExt";
this.Title = "Event Module - Ascending";

base.OnInit(e);

Ok I figured out how to get it to go into a category..

Add..
using MonoSoftware.MonoX;

and then above the class that inherits...
[WebPartCatalogCategory("CustomExt")]

example:
[WebPartCatalogCategory("CustomExt")]
public partial class EventModuleExt : MonoSoftware.MonoX.ModuleGallery.EventModule

still working on description..

Hi,

Yes WebPartCatalogCategory should be added to the WebPart to get the proper category and you should put a description in the WebPart Constructor.

Let me know if this works for you.
