The currently Viewing section will be propagated by the passing of a dashboard category querystring parameter.
On the Xmod module action menu you need to add values to the Data Settings tab >> Filtering >> Filtering using URL parameter
The form field for the Categories is cboCategory and I typically give it a value of cat
if you are using the sub categories the form field is SavedSubCategory and I typically give it a value of ssc
In the code for currently viewing in the Display settings section you will see how these tie together.
Currently Viewing: ..:: {XMOD_Parameter:cat} » {XMOD_Parameter:ssc} ::..
If I create a link in a text/HTML module:
http://dnnprofessor.com/tabid/106/xmmid/842/xmview/1/Default.aspx?cat=DotNetNuke&ssc=Modules
It would return a list of all listings in the category DotNetnuke and the sub category Modules.
The tabID and the xmmid values can be obtained from the URL of the page when you edit the XMod module.
If you go to Configure XMod module you will see the tabid of your module and the value for mid is the cmmid value for your link.
The xmview/1 means that you want to return the results in Xmod list view.
