First I want to say i'm a complete newbie, but decided to jump into DNN because of the great videos available here... in fact I would never have without watching the intro video.

I've watched many of the videos, but i'm having problems understanding how pages all fit together.  How can I have a different logo for a different page within my site?  For instance I want one page about subject A, and one about subject B, both with different logos.  Do I need to do subjectA.mywebsite.com?  Acctually that's perferable how is this done, and can they act as completely different websites?  I guess what I really don't understand is how the whole portal system works.

If you could direct me to what videos or issues would help me best i'm willing to do the work.  Also I did buy a domain name and I have a hosting account with powerdnn if this makes any difference at all.

Thanks,

Todd

Hi Todd,

What you are describing here is an ideal use of portals.

You can set a portal up to be either a child portal, ie:
www.example.com/childportalname

or as a parent portal:
www.newdomainname.com

If you create a parent portal, you could use the sub-domain method that you mention, ie. http://subjecta.mywebsite.com

I have not yet created any tutorials on working with the portals, but I have recently created a post here on how to create a portal:

If you create a sub-domain within your hosting control panel and point it to your DNN installation, DotNetNuke will pick it up and display your new portal.

PowerDNN have great support and should be able to help you with any additional help you may need with creating the sub-domain etc.

Hope this gives you a starting point, thanks,

Lee,

That's just what I was looking for.  I've set up the subdomain at my host and also followed the directions for the DNN set up, but i'm getting this message when I try to open my subdomain: This is the placeholder for subdomain pemi.mysite.com. If you see this page after uploading site content you probably have not replaced the index.html file.

Do you know what step I missed?  If this is host specific I appologize, but I haven't heard back from my host yet.

Thank You,

Todd

Hi Todd,

It sounds as though you just need to point the sub-domain to your DNN installation. I would contact your hosting provider again and hopefully they will be able to point you in the right direction soon.

Thanks,
