Hi! I'm trying to develop a DNN site with minimal custom coding. Not that I don't want to use a developer, but I just don't have any budget to use our internal guy, let alone pull on an outside developer. We currently have several DNN marketing sites online, this new one is for some niche product marketing.

Here is what I need... Is there a module, or a technique, where I can easily develop a drop down list of 50 states, then choose what page you go to based on what state you select? The key here is easy maintenance since I will have to be changing individual state behaviors as certain circumstances change. Then... I would like to hand this maintenance off to someone else and I don't want to have to worry about them tweaking code.

Does such a module exist?

DNN 7.0

Thanks!

no, there isn't any such module that I know of, though it would be easy enough to develop, particularly if you use a convention e.g. redirect to "mypage_al", "mypage_ak" etc Please note, that type of design is suboptimal as it requires 50 separate pages. Typically you would code up a module where you could associate some text with each state and then selection of the state would show that text i.e. 50 lines in a database table specific to this module, rather than 50 separate pages.
