I screwed up and deleted the module which allows for maintaining the site pages. This is whatever typically displays when you access the Admin\Pages option ( .... pages.apx). I have looked all over and cannot figure out how to get it back.

If anyone has ideas much appreciated.

Look in the recycle bin to see if you can find it. If not, ask again and I will try to outline another approach.

There is nothing in the recycle bin. This is DNN 5.x. The mistake I made was showing another of our technical users DNN and in the process I made the mistake of deleting the module off of the page used to host that content.

I still see the page in the menu tree but when I access the page there is nothing on it. Completely blank.

So I am trying to add that content back in.

I did something like that once.  Here is how I fixed things.

I created a fresh DotNetNuke installation.  Next, go to the Extensions page, find the module that you deleted, and click the pencil icon to edit the module.  At the bottom of the next page you'll find a "Create Package" link.  Click that link to create an installable version of the module.

That that file and install it on the DotNetNuke installation.  You will then be able to add the module back to the page from which you deleted it.

Thanks for your help. Turns out all I did was delete the module from the page. The confusing part is that the name of the module is 'Tabs' (even though it is described as 'page management')

What I did was to delete the module named 'Tabs' on the Admin>Pages page.

All I needed to do was add back the module named Tabs to that page and I was back in business.

Very sorry to take your time with such a silly mistake on my part.

No problem.  I'm glad that you found the deleted module.

(And, I should have thought to suggest to you the correct module name.  I'll remember that in the future!)
