Dear i have the following situation.

i have 1 parent portal and four child portals,

the parent portal has the menu as horizontal

but the child portals have thier menus as vertical

now i want to see the parent portal menu on the child portal as well

there may be two solution for this

1. i could have two different menus on the child portals and build replica of the parent menu

2. i could (some how) call the menu from the parent portal on the child portls

does any one have any idea on both of the above situation. if yes please give me hit

thanks in advance

I should have mentioned that a less automated method is to create new pages in the child portal, and set them to point to the corresponding pages in the parent portal (and vice versa, if you want). This is fine if you have just a few pages. But if you have a lot of pages or need automatation, the module I just mentioned might be the solution for you.

Ok, I kind of understand the functionality youre looking for, and I think you can achieve it in the following way:

In your parent portal try placing an iframe module, being it the only existant module in the whole page, and set its url to call your a default child portal. In this child portal you could use a simplified skin that implements the menu as you need it. The navigation of this child portal would take place in the same IFrame module, so you wont need to replicate the parent components at all, since you never really abandon the parent portal page =).

If you need to navigate thru several child portals, you can use a skin with hardcoded links to the other child portals, which is used by all the child portals so that they can call themselves at any time.

Alternatively, you could develop a custom skin object that would automatically add a link for each child portal in your dnn website.

Hope this helps, ciao!
