Hi All;

I am a really facing a problem in DotNet Nuke, and looking for a solution for it.

I am very disappointed from DotNet Nuke for I did not find  a very basic feature that is available in all CMS systems, and really surprised to not find it in a gaint CMS like DotNe tNuke.

What I looking for is that, in all traditional CMS I can post a subject with its title, and obtain a part of the subject as "Abstract subject" or "Summery"...in the "HomePage", only The "Abstract Title"/"Summery"  is displayed ..with link to the whole subject named "Next", "Read More", or even "Continue"....once I click over this link the whole subject is shownin a separate page!!!

more than that, in traditional CMS, just I post a subject I can see no. of visiters, no of comments , and an evalution for the subject..with its result in a graphic way

as well as that tradtional CMS can show me a statistics "with links" to most popular subjects, which subject got highest degrees of evalution, ,which subject has maxmum no of  visitors, and which subejct got the max. no of "comment"-ers !!!!

I read a lot to get these answers, but unfortunatly did not find any ...which led me to believe that DotNet Nuke is really giant ..but it is blind....or a lion with no claws nor teeth!!!

please give me a hand and answer my questions ...which mainly are how to find these features and modules in Dotnet.nuk

Maybe you should look in the Blog module, or mabey the Wiki or Forum modules. These can be installed by logging in as the host, then clicking on the 'add new modules'. There will be a list of available modules on bottom.

I hope this helps.

That's quite an assesement of DNN coming from someone with one post to their name.   I completely disagree with your assesment of DNN.  DNN is a SLEEPING GIANT!  This framework is extremely flexible, providing you can take the time discover the gems.  This is not say there isn't room for improvement, there always room for that. 

You could handle your requests in a number of ways.  One way is to have announcements module display your information in the way that you desire on one page then make sure to click syndicate module in the settings, then place the feeds module on your home page to point to your syndicated announcements module and adjust the settings to display how much info you want. 

There are other modules that will display the user information your looking for.  Users Online - DNN - Forge also has another similiar one that is is nice to use.

I think if you do a little more research on Snowcovered.com on 3rd party modules, it may give you ideas on how to use the core modules.

Hope this helps,

Jerry

I agree with the previous poster.  DNN has plenty of power and flexibility as well as potential.  Try looking in the 3rd party market.

...you might even find yourself a spell checker you can use ;-)

Best regards,

Rod

If you are not happy with DotNetNuke the move on Man. There are plenty more CMS out there.

Try to find one that works with Asp.net 3.5 and the features it brings. I strongly doubt you will.
