Hi to all,
I am new to DNN and setting up a site for an association with dnn 4.5.3. I need to list all members of the association in a page, and also i should let the visitors to make search. I decided to use UDT to store the data. I use text fields (contactname, companyname,fax,phone, city) and also some numeric (production capacity in tons, etc..) and also some true/false fields..
I want to build a page, where users can perform a search with multiple criterias and get the results in a grid.
(eg. they will list the companies which is located in Germany and has production capacity between 50 and 100..)
What is the best idea for that? The choices i see are as following.. (and also with my comments)
1 - To use UDT with Reports Module. (is there anybody using it in smilar way?)
2 - To create a custom page and to query directly the UDT table.. (The table structure is not looking so ideal for that)
3 - To create another application totally separated from DNN and place it in site with Iframe Module? ( that's the last way i would prefer)
4 - To buy a custom module (actually i could not find such module)
I will have around 300-400 records.. So the performance is not problem, it can be slow as it can :)
I will be glad to hear your comments and ideas..
Kind Regards
