By "groups of dnn pages", I mean pages that form a hierarchy (not necessary a hierarchy that is headed with a page at the same level as the Home page.)

 

I know that I can copy web  pages, one by one, using the admin login via the web-based dnn interface. But, I'd prefer a script or wizard, of some sort (that runs scripts behind the scenes) that can allow me to 

1) specify a web page that I want to copy (along with the hierarchy of pages under it)

2) specify the names and titles of the new top-level pages

3) specify whether the contained modules of the top-level page that I want to copy is to be :

    ( ) New  ( ) Copy  ( )  Reference

    (as in the web-based interface)

4) repeat 3) for each of the source pages in the hierarchy that I want to copy

 

You might say that I am looking to do something similar to creating a portal web site based on a template, except that it's not an entirely new website - instead it's a section of the current web site.

I might want to do this because I have an organization which is broken into chapters, and I want each chapter to have, say, it's own General Information page (which acts like it's home page), and underneath that, in it's hierarchy, a Contact Info page and an Events page.

If I have 200 chapters, I certainly don't want to copy those 3 web pages using the web based interface, as that would take a long time. (And imagine if each chapter's new sub-website had 30 pages!) I just want to specify the parameters of a copy process, then press a button, and let the system do the rest.

I haven't heard from a module for this purpose, but it shouldn't be too difficult to create.

I had asked the same question at snowcovered, and the answer was that they were "not sure" that such a module exists.

 

Can you recommend me a good book on how to make modules? I have "DotNetNuke ASP.Net Portals" by Walker, Santry, Brinkman, et. al.  (a Wrox book). However, it covers DNN 3, and VS.NET 2003. I'm concerned that the book is so far out of date that it doesn't make sense to use it.
