orchardcms - Orchard Custom Settings Not Persisting -

i'm pulling hair out on one; should simple yet can't figure out issue.

i'm trying save custom settings in module. used orchard.email module example on how plug 'settings' menu; code follows:

migrations.cs

public class customsettingsmigrations : datamigrationimpl {     public int create() {         schemabuilder.createtable("customsettingspartrecord", table => table             .contentpartrecord()             .column<string>("gatewayurl")             .column<string>("merchantid")             .column<string>("merchantpassword")             .column<bool>("sandboxmode")             .column<string>("sandboxgatewayurl")             .column<string>("sandboxmerchantid")             .column<string>("sandboxmerchantpassword")             );              return 1;     } }

public class customsettingspartrecord : contentpartrecord {     public virtual string gatewayurl { get; set; }     public virtual string merchantid { get; set; }     public virtual string merchantpassword { get; set; }     public virtual bool sandboxmode { get; set; }     public virtual string sandboxgatewayurl { get; set; }     public virtual string sandboxmerchantid { get; set; }     public virtual string sandboxmerchantpassword { get; set; }      public customsettingspartrecord() {         sandboxmode = true;     } }

i have placement.info , can access view through "custom" menu item underneath "settings" in main menu. view loads fine, , when enter details , click 'save', form sent find , hit customsettingspartdriver.cs driverresult editor(customsettingspart part, iupdatemodel updater.. method.

i believe issue be, doesn't hit breakpoints inside return contentshape("parts_customsettings_edit, () => { lambda expression.

could shed light on how can resolve this? i'm sure it's simple issue, i've been trying figure 1 out while unsuccessfully. thanks!

okay, managed figure 1 out. feel silly asking questions answering them myself, if saves 1 person time in future, it's worth it.

the issue was, expected, in driver. appended .ongroup() extension wrong shape.

below fixed driver code:

protected override driverresult editor(customsettingspart part, iupdatemodel updater, dynamic shapehelper) {     return contentshape("parts_customsettings_edit", () => {         var previouspassword = part.merchantpassword;         updater.tryupdatemodel(part, prefix, null, null);          // restore password if input empty, meaning has not been changed         if (string.isnullorempty(part.merchantpassword)) {             part.merchantpassword = previouspassword;         }         return shapehelper.editortemplate(templatename: templatename, model: part, prefix: prefix);         // offending extension -> .ongroup("custom");      }).ongroup("custom"); // in correct location }
