I was struggling for a while to make the import feature work. I found out that in order to import files I have to not only have files on the web server but also I have to do it on the server. When trying to import files using a browser on another workstation it simply doesn't work (the path was pointing to folder on a mapped drive on the server). Is it by design or am I doing something wrong? Thanks A.

The import function takes files from somewhere on your server/network and imports them into DMX. This creates a copy of the file in the repository. The only requirement is that the web server's asp.net worker process has access to the directory you're trying to import. Note this very carefully: if you're working in a network it is not the file server's asp.net worker process, but the DNN/WEB server's asp.net process that needs access to the share. This issue also crops up when trying to use a share as the repository for DMX. You might need a network admin to help out with this issue. 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.
