Hi

I'm not sure if this is the correct forum for this, but...

A prospective client of ours would like users to be able to sign up for an account, and have immediate access to edit their own portfolio page.  Essentially, users sign up and get a mini portfolio on the site (a single page with permission to insert simple html modules, etc). Tall order...

Is there a way, in DNN, for users to sign up using the core registration control, and automatically have a page added (possibly as a child portal) for their account...? I only ask as I've never conceived this as possible using the core, but our team has done something similar (from a user management point o view) in ASP.Net...  Else, how would you propose we could go about something like this..?

Essentially, if Joe Soap signs up on mywebsite.com, I'd like Joe to automatically have his own page / child portal that he can edit and manage on mywebsite.com/joesoap.com

Any thoughts or suggestions would be helpful.

Thank you in advance.

Jon

Here is a quick outline of some of the steps you would need to do to acheive this.

Create your own user registration control.  (copy the existing & extend)

Add code to the new user registration control to create a new tab/page.

Add code to limit access to that page to the newly created user. (or not if you want anyone to see it)

Give that user edit rights to that page.

Give that user rights to access the appropriate modules for use on that page.

All of this is possible using the built in DNN objects.  Just examine the source for DNN for each section you are trying to emulate.

 

I would recommend against creating a child portal for each user.  Just adds a lot more overhead.

Thank you Robert.

That's what I suspsected.  The only reason I meantioned a child portal is that down the line our client might want to create premium subscriptions so users can have more than one page, and option to have alterante skins.  Then platinum subs to have own domainname for that portal.
