This may be very simple, but I have tried and tried with no avail. The problem stems because DNN won't allow to upload htm or asp file.
For years we have used dreamweaver to build our sites, created procedures and pages with menus that point to procedures. Now that our site uses DNN framework, the menus are all great but I can't figure out how to create documents within DNN. We want to move away from dreamweaver but seems impossible. I tried 3 different ways:
1. I created a folder on my site root and saved there asp format procedures that I had created using dreamweaver. Then within my DNN site, I created a page called procedures and inserted a documents module. Each document uses the url feature to point to the asp procedures. Trouble is, you are still having to edit using dreamweaver.
2. I created a procedure using microsoft word and saved as htm. Since I cannot upload to my DNN site, I saved it in the root folder I created above and linked it the same way using the url feature. Trouble is when I save the procedure in word a whole folder is created and adding links through out the procedure is not as easy as with dreamweaver.
3. I created a whole new page on my DNN site, inserted a single text/html module and in the text of the module inserted the whole procedure. I was thinking maybe this page could have "no skin" so that it looks like a procedure. I like the fact that I can add links through out the procedure to other files already uploaded in the site and insert pictures already on the site. Trouble is I will be creating a new page every time I create a procedure or I will have to give somebody administrative rights so they can add a page.
Is there a much simpler solution for this? Perhaps a module out there? How do developers create their procedures and manuals online and show it as pdf?
Thanks a bunch!
