Hallo Experts,

I am using DNN for years and its a very good CMS for simply creating a website.

Now I have seen umbraco where a user (e.g. an arcticle writer) can add content to a certain content node:

• Home
  • Articles
    • Sports
      • Football
        • Article 1
        • Article 2

An autor for football can be allowed to add content for the football node but is not allowed to published it.
This is only allowed for editors.

For DNN there are some article or CMS modules (DNN Article or for free AllNewsManager), where you can do the same but more on module level

But I want to now in general If I can allow users to add pages/modul starting from a certain page node?

Or can I not compare DNN and umbraco directyl?

For me DNN is a simple to use WYSYWIG CMS and page/modul oriented and umbraco more a admin CMS content oriented (but you need more time for implementation)

What are you meaning? And could I allow users in DNN to add pages starting from a certain node?

Many thanks in advance and

best regards

John

Hi Leopld, thank you for this hint -)
So my idea is to allow user to add pages and html module to certain node.
Only adding pages and modules for certain users seems only available in professional edition, isn't it?
Or you must use an content or article management module?

Another questions about content management (in comparision to umbraco). What exactly is meant on the following site with content management: http://www.dotnetnuke.com/Products/DotNetNuke/Management/tabid/1208/Default.aspx In comparision to umbraco where DNN does manage content? In my understanding DNN (using it successfull for many years) store only page structure and the modules does the rest (has there own tables and logic).

In the professional edition you have document management (for storing documents but not content like articles) and workflow management. Because I am using DNN for years I will not say DNN is not a content management, I want only to understand what content management exactly is (e.g. in comparison to umbraco). During my researches this question come in my mind, thats all!

Hope someone of you can solve my confusion -) Many thanks in advance and best regards John

Hi Leopold, many thanks for your help -)

Because DNN Corp talks about "built-in content management system" I thought that an user could add content/page to a certain node.
So that waht the reason for my first post.

But regarding to my experience with DNN and your answere it seems that you could solve it only through an arcticle module like AllNewsManager or DNN Article. So it would be fine if DNN Corp or other people could tell us, what they exactly mean with "built-in content management system" to avoid such confusion -)
