Long title, but here's the deal:
I'm aiming to set up a global DNN site, with some content and a forum that is global to the entire site, plus individual (child?) sites, specific to municipalities. Think something like Kijiji, where there's...
www.domain.com
Calgary.domain.com
NewYork.domain.com
etc.
(I might just use subdirectories instead: www.domain.com, www.domain.com/Calgary, www.domain.com/NewYork, etc., depending...)
The main site (www.domain.com) would have some global content, possibly an events calendar, plus a forum which is accessible to everyone. The child sites (e.g. Calgary.domain.com) would have a separate events calendar and forum specific to that city alone. I would like to have only one registration and one log-in for the entire site, but have different permissions on different child sites. So, in other words, a registered user post in the global forums and then post an event in two different child site calendars without having to login in using a different account or more than once.
Can DNN handle all of this out-of-the-box? If so, can someone give me a good step-by-step (or at least point me at some good step-by-step tutorials/instructions) which explains what I need to do in order to set this up?
Suggestions on how to best set this up from a DNN installation / configuration perspective would be most appreciated. Any other insights also greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
