Hi guys,

I am pretty new to DotNetNuke but I have very good experice with php, html, js, C and C++

I have a small doubt before I begin developing with dotnetnuke..

I have seen the dotnetnuke homepage on my local server and I have a couple of basic questions..

1) can I include javascript code on my pages

2) Can I create some custom database tables and insert data from forms that I create and filled by the users ?

3) Can I have two types of users and identify them to give access to the pages??

It would help me a lot if you could give tell me where to find the proper resources and start my development..

I hope its a easy ride...

1. You may use JavaScript in HTML content of modules (Host only), by using Widgets or in your custom modules. DNN includes JQuery and JQuery UI to make this even easier. Modules are usually created as Web Forms Controls (ascx) in any .Net language or as Web Page using Razor and the DNN RazorHost module (requires running on .Net 4)
2. Your module may create custom table in the database, there are a couple of templates for Visual Studio (using VB and C#), which cover the data access layer and the database script as well. Besides, there are flexible forms modules available like free Forms and List and multilingual Helferlein Form.
3. By using user roles, you may create any groups of users and grant permissions to them for
   • Pages
   • Modules on pages
   • Folders for files
   • Module definitions (deploy)
   DotNetNuke Community Edition provides permissions for View and Edit, while Professional Edition and 3rd party providers (like the free one from www.oliverhine.com) provide more granular permissions.

HI Sebastian,

thank you so much for ur reply..

I have set up the visual studio for development but couldnt view the videos on module development by chris hammond because they cost $900 !!

Anyhow,

I have created a form using forms and lists module u have suggested. How can we customize the actions after submission ? I mean I want to update send a email to administrator saying the form has been updated and I would like to update some custom tables etc.,

also, regarding the permissions, I would like to know if we can give permissions to specific users and not for a group of users ???

It would be great if you could tell me how to learn razor script for DNN. 

Once again thank you so much for your time. Looking forward to ur answer..
