Hi all,

We've been contracted to supply a new intranet and website for a client and due to time and budgetary constraints we're looking to base it on an open source cms/portal. It's looking like DNN fits the bill - all core features and most of those on the 'while I'm dreaming' list, plus it's based on MS architecture, which is what the client's sysadmin is 'comfortable' with :)

Security issues dictate that the intranet and website must be two independent systems; the intranet hosted internally on their network behind a firewall and the website hosted externally. But one of the requirements is that the client wants to be able to publish content to the website directly from the intranet. At a minimum this would mean news articles and documents, but the ideal solution would be to have full publishing power to the website from the intranet. Obviously this would have to be a one way only operation.

All the solutions I've thought of so far won't work unless there's at least some access between the systems through the firewall and there simply isn't the time or money for serious customisation of large chunks of the DNN codebase.

I'd be grateful for any thoughts on this.

One way you could do it is take advantage of the IPortable interface and use the XML from the Export and Import it onto your external website. 

You could automate this by making a file watcher on your intranet that monitors the Portal root directory and copies the XML files from there to the portal root on your web site.  Then the admin just imports the content.

Thanks for that.

Ultimately we're probably going to discourage the client from taking this route - it looks like there's neither the time or money to do the job properly.
