Dear All

I would love to throw my 2 cents in here and take both sides on at different angles.

I have never been a developer, coder, programmer or even understood the concepts of what could be done until I found DotNetNuke. I still don't even begun to put myself in the same category as any of you guys who sit for hours dwelling upon how this should work and that should work

In the 14 months since finding DNN, I've begun to understand VB.Net and Frameworks and now own 2 webservers and have created many sites, one of which is up for an award for e-commerce. This would not have been possible without DNN. OK, so I tried Joomla, hated it, php so confusing. Wordpress!! Does nothing except allow text and pictures and some others and Whooosh, they mostly went over my head.

I am really glad mobile versions are coming out and until now I have only been using CE, I think PE is beyond my comprehension. I have spent a LOT of money in snowcovered, to date must have bought 60-70 modules. So am I little peeved that we don't have the full mobile functionality, well yes a little but I understand that getting members onto PE drives your revenue!! Have to say from my skills, a jump to PE is unnecessary but I will continue to support by using the method already employed.

OK, that's my ramble, now here's my beef!! Many users of DNN are like me, uneducated developers who want and need a platform that just works and makes it easy for us heathens of the development world to work onto without trying to make even the starting blocks work. My beef is not about the mobile issue, but what about straight talking, plain English documentation that is up to date when new releases come out?

Module development for example: how the heck do I get started? bought a book, watched videos and webinar's but again wow, no simplicity!! I'm getting pretty good at coding and API and Web Services but damn its all so complicated.

I even downloaded something to get me started but that didn't work, got allsort's of errors.

Guys before pressing on and making more revolutionary changes, may I recommend that whoever does the documentation either gets up to speed or makes way for someone with the skills

OK rant over!! Back to work, not even gonna check what I wrote, so I hope I make sense

Dear Craig, Joe, Scott
thanks for reply to my post.... but I'll try to speech of some other.
I'm sure that DNN Corp don't change it's ideas and don't enable this function on CE version.

Decided this my question is: how is the best way to make a mobile portal wit DNN Community Ed?
I think that the first step is decide if is better:

- Make a new Portal:
Easy to build.
Easy to modify.
I don't know how show the same content in 2 different Portals.

- Use a different Skin in the same portal:
Easy show the same content in Website and Mobile Site.
Need a third part module that hide/show right module in the page.

Hi Craig:
some thing

1) In conclusion you suggest me to create some separate pages but in the same website? Correct?

2) What do you think about:
http://www.snowcovered.com/Snowcovere...
and
http://www.snowcovered.com/Snowcovere...

3)Make different page in the same Portal Is different from the solution of DNN Prof. Edition they suggest to create a new child web portal but I haven't find a module that share modules from more than one portal, now I'm trying the Inventua Shadow.... ll write my impression asap.

I'm looking for a module that can share content between the Portals, but where I can change the module setting between each portal.

thanks
Rmartin
