Hello,
Our company is looking for a new CMS. I have read some documentation and installed DNN 6 on a test server. From what I understand Dotnetnuke is, from what I call it, an inline editing CMS. Correct?

I was wondering if it is possible for Dotnetnuke to have som custom content types? I am used to ExpressionEngine where custom content types are implemented very good.

For example.
If we have a products page. If a user would like to add a new product to the website is there some kind of functionality for him to post this new product into a form and hit publish and the new product will be published on the productspage with correct css-formatting etc etc.

DotNetNuke uses an inline editing concept rather than defining content types - both approaches have their fans and their pro's and con's. For the type of functionality you're talking about you would install an ecommerce/store module and handle it that way.

Ok thanks for info.

So dynamics forms and dynamic views from datasprings wouldnt solve this just as good?
Or maybe myTokens?

If it's a product for sale, a shopping cart module would work. If it's just static content, an administrator of the website could add it as HTML to a page.

Its not products for sale. Just showing which product we that we produce.

But if I put that content in HTML/Text module, that way the user must know a lot about html/css to position the elements in the wysiwyg editor. In that way the whole idea with the CMS is gone.

 Thoughts on that?
