We're getting around to migrating all of our docs into DMX, and I want to do it properly. I also want to take advantage of WebDav (which I know nothing about), but I am reading up on. Is it possible to load the documents into DMX and have them save on a network share? I want the users to be able to access the docs thru the portal, and allow the approvers and doc people to be able to make changes to the docs on the portal share drive I have on our file server. I have all of the files on the portal box, but I'd like to load them into dmx and then not have to store them on that box. am I completely misunderstanding what DMX does? I'm under the impression that I can load the docs into DMX, it saves them in the db, I set up a WebDav interface somehow to allow people to access it that way. Is that correct?

Hi Matt, Yes, that is correct. BUT the files are not physically in a file structure on your hard disk like you see it in DMX. They are hashed and hidden. Instead, WebDAV connects to DMX and requests documents and they are served to the client. The client can save them back again. You won't be able to see the document structure when you open Windows explorer on the server's hard disk, however. Only on your client PC using Web Folders. Peter

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.
