I'd like to create a child portal on my main DNN site that visitors can use to "kick the tires" of DNN. What's the best way to wipe the 'sandbox' portal clean periodically? I'd like it to revert to its original state probably nightly.

Also, is there a good way to convert a child portal to a parent, and move it to another server?

child portals can easily be converted to parent portals by adding an appropriate portal alias.

I would always use a separate installation for demo portals, that can be easily restored from a database backup to revert to previous state.

What I'd do is use the "demo portal" functionality of DotNetNuke.  Have it expire them after 14 days or something.

I packaged it into a module so it's easier to use.   I'll document some default settings or something soon(if I get to it), otherwise here it is...use at your own risk.

It's just the files from the /admin/portal folder and a manifest to install it as module or something.  Anyhow you already have it, I just packaged it.  Use at your own risk obviously :->
