I just got involved in Orchard, so I apologize for any confusing terms. from what I learned and read you can pretty much customize Orchard to include or exclude anything you want since its a framework in the first place, so features like MVC, modules are really parts of the framework but not it's not essentially based on.
is it possible to create a module which interacts with other modules?
To make it clear, say we have a module which does something like an API call, fetching data and displaying it to the user Only. how can I create a module that will control this module behavior (when, why)? what is meant by When, Why this module will only control when this module should be executed and if not **why **.
this can be implemented on the module itself, but say we have a lot of module with pretty much the same thing .to follow the DRY we will certainly need to separate controlling this module in a separate module.
Thank you in advance!
EDIT: its like building an httpmodule which will catch all requests then decide which one pass through .
According to your post on GitHub you can implement IAuthorizationServiceEventHandler and in that implementation you can call your external API to check for a specific permission.
I've done this myself in the past to check for fine grained permissions that were configured / stored in a separate DB.
