Hi Guys,

I'm with a team creating an IT portal using DNN and we want to offer free white papers for some user info. Do you know the best module to do this with? I understand there are multiple ways to do this. You can request a one time registration form to gain entry to the download page, but users need to do this every time (which gets annoying and you end up with a lot of people named "asdf asdf"). Then other sites have a one time user registration with a login page - easier, but seems like a bigger commitment and may be a more difficult module to keep track of.

I would love to hear your insight and module reccomendations.

Thanks so much!

If you are looking to provide documents for download with login each time, I am not sure of any modules that are out there now that do it.

I know I personally built a module that does exactly what you are looking for, it tracks each download as well.  If you are interested in a custom solution, feel free to drop me a message at msellers@iowacomputergurus.com and I'll see what we can do.

Otherwise if you are not concerned about download activity and just want to display the information in a secure manner News Articles might be the way to go.

If the papers are free and you don't mind who gets them, just make them available to unregistered users.  The Documents module or Repository would do for downloading a PDF, Ventrian's is the best for an online article.
