I've seen some stuff on child portals and such, but I'm a bit confused.

What I'm wondering is can I install the community edition of DNN on a server, such that it uses one domain name www.one.com for the majority of the website, but that on one page with a forum module installed on it, it uses a different domain name (www.two.com)?

I'd like users to be able to login to one DNN website, but anything associated with the forum on that website, needs to have a different domain name.  Because my target audience is government, and their work machines block domains that have forums.  So if that happens, I'd want only the forums to be blocked and not the entire website.

Is this possible with DNN?  Thanks much for any help.


I'm too poor for anything other than the community version

Ryno,

that is possible. You may create a second portal (under Host :: Site Management) called forum.mysite.com (or even use another domain name). Remember to add the alias to your host headers in IIS. Then create a menu entry on your main site that links to the forum page on the other portal (create a page that links to an Url). In the "Forum" portal I would suggest to have an entry in the main menu that links back to the main portal.

If you do that on the same DNN installation you can also create a "Portal Group" to provide Single Sign On (well, it is documented as a feature of the Professional Edition, but see here: http://dnnportalgroups.codeplex.com/)

Oh, sorry, I just saw that there is no release for the portal groups module yet. If you are able to compile it yourself, download the source code and great.

On the other hand, you can do this in the database if you have access to it. There is a blog entry in the German Usergroup, see here: http://www.dnn-usergroup.de/Community... (or let it translate by Google: http://translate.google.at/translate?...)
