I have a requirement to put a lot of content/pages to a site. However everything on the page is the same save for the content. My question is do I have to add a page for every document??(there are thousands!!). I was wondering if there is a solution like i have seen with other content managers., where you create one page as a template, the content is saved in the database. Now depending on the on the link you click, it extracts the appropriate content from the database and displays on the one page. This reduces the number of pages and effort on the updating. What are the implications of having thousands of pages on the server??

Hope this makes sense.

 

Kind regards

What you describe is what DotNetNuke does ...

I've used both Ventrian News Articles and Engage: Publish on multiple sites and with great results. 

With both modules, you have options for categorization of articles, various displays, and some workflow functions.

do you get my question?? An example, you create one page for news. All news articles you create are displayed on this page. if you have ten news articles you dont create ten pages but one??

 

The modules you highlight, can dnn do some of the basic stuff using default modules?? Obviuosly I wld want to look at what dnn can do befre looking at third party modules.

GeeMan,

Sorry for my delayed response on this one.  This is a true DotNetNuke functionality item.

As metioned above, you can use many different modules to most likely accomplish your desired goals.  If looking at core modules only you might look at the Blog Module.  Otherwise I strongly recommend looking at the News Articles module as it is on of my personal favorites.
