So your suggestion to use one DNN installation (one DB) and for each website use a different portal? so portal one: www.website1.com, portal two: www.website2.com etc.

Nirav,

Try www.snowcovered.com, there are 3 or 4 multi-sign on modules up there.

Enjoy!

P.S. Is this the Nirav Shah from N.H.?

Benno,

You have to make a choice on how you want your portals addressed. In DNN, the only difference between a parent and a child portal is how you access/address them.

Parent portals:

  1. www.mainsite.com
  2. www.othersite1.com
  3. www.othersite2.com

Child portals

  1. www.mainsite.com
  2. www.mainsite.com/othersite1
  3. www.mainsite.com/othersite2

Regardless of your access/addresses, all of them will be a single installation of DNN and all will have a single database. If your requirement is to have isolated databases for each portal, then you will not be able to take advantage of parent/child portals and will have to have separate DNN installations for each one.

Sebastian,

I was going to ask the same question, but then realized I had done the same for a client in the past. The only reason was because they didn't own the domain name they wanted for one of the 4 portals. So the main site and 2 portals were set up as parent types with their own domain, and the one was set up as a child.

Also, recently had a client that wanted this setup over parent portals. No amount of guidance could steer them away either.

The point I am trying to make is that as an engineer/implementer, you don't always have a choice in the parent vs. child portal decision process.
