I have 2 questions. 1)I have a host account and about 20 portals. Each portal will have a Document Exchange module. My goal is to allow users to share documents to registered users of other portals under the same host account. Is this possible? How do I do it? 2)If I can't share across portals, can I conduct a SQL query to a central database on my host account that would access the needed documents for a particular portal? Many Thanks, Mike

Hi Michael, 1. No. Permissions are bound to User IDs and Role IDs. The latter are specific to a portal. Besides this all of DMX's design is geared to making information leak between portals impossible. It would not be possible without a lot of reprogramming. 2. Yes. You can do almost anything with SQL.

Thanks for the quick response! I am very new to DNN and module development. How do I wire up DMX to a SQL query? Can you point me in the right direction? Thanks!

Hi Michael, You can't 'wire up DMX to a query'. What you can do is use a module that allows you to run a database query and render results on screen. The Reports module does this for instance. Then you can use the rendering of that to create various new things in your portal. This space is not sufficient to fully explain how this can be done. We do this kind of work regularly for customers in customization/consulting work. Contact us for an offer on that. I just wanted to point you in the best direction in case you were familiar with something like that. Regards, Peter Donker

About Bring2mind

Bring2mind is the company of Peter Donker, a DotNetNuke enthusiast who has been involved with the platform from the very beginning. At the same time as the market for modules emerged, he realized there was no good document management solution for the platform yet and he set about creating this. In part he based the module on his experience with other document management systems he used while working as a researcher. His module, Document Exchange, was an instant success and has since become the premier document management solution for DotNetNuke. In 2004 he created Bring2mind as a vehicle for the module and is one of the few successful businesses solely based on a DotNetNuke product.
