Hi All,

I was wondering if someone was doing this:

New user registers on Parent-Portal and in doing so, creates their own child-portal and is the administrator of that child-portal.

That child-portal can be spawned/created based on a pre-defined template and once done, that portal can also accept its own user registrations (but no child-portal spawning/creation though)...no cascading effect, only one level of child portals.

The other option is to allow a registered user on a Parent portal to create (1...n) child portals BUT NOT from the Host/Portals page but another page viewable by users in a given role ...and again, once done, that portal can also accept its own user registrations (but no child-portal spawning/creation though)...blah blah blah....

ANY ideas?

I'm not positive, but you might be able to this through the Onyatech  Sign Up module.  In the case that you suggested you might need to be creative with the portal templates and a little db work creating the template.  I havent purchased any of the Onyatech modules (I've been heavily looking into the subscription package for last couple of days) but I have head good things about their modules.  I would hit them up also and see if they have a solution for u.

After re-reading your post you might run into a problem with the amount of portals a user can create.

I know that every one has their view on the strengths and weaknesses of DNN, but IMHO the portal registration is one of the items that could be expanded on (sub project??)

On a side note:  To all of that participate in DNN on any level.. Congrats on  500,000 registered users and the release of 4.7.   Keep up the good work

I'll take a look at what else they're offering now.

To all others, keep any other New-User Defined Child-Portal ideas coming  !!

Thanks
