Ive done some research through whatever documentation and forum information I could find on this website and I must admit I am quite suprised at the lack of commentary on integration of DNN with existing applications. Especially with such a large user base, I thought that this would be a common activity.
Anyhow DNN is one of the open source .net platforms I am looking with cms capabilities.
Ive completed a source code installation successfully and am now looking into integration possibilities with my existing app. It looks however that the majority of the users out there build on the DNN framework rather that integrate it with a custom application.
The functionality that interests me the most is page creation that comes with dnn. I was thinking that it might be possible to have a layer between my app and dnn through the core client api project, which would allow for my users to (with my custom apps user model) to create and modify pages with dnn.
However I couln't find whether this is possible from the core client api project, is there some downloads I should be able to access? Is it even complete?
I am not particularly fond of the idea of creating custom modules from my custom app to reside on dnn as this will be a prohibitively large undertaking. My proposed solution is simple and elegant and I would think it is possible to achieve with dnn. If someone out there with dnn integration experience could provide some advice on this it would be greatly appreciated.
