    I don't know if this is the right place to post this, but I will give it a try. I currently have a website built in Mambo CMS and it is outdated and difficult for me to maintain. I would like to find someone who can redo/convert that website to DNN, which I have learned to use and feel comfortable with.

    This isn't as easy as it sounds. The current website - more of a database application than a website - is very complex with a large number of custom features. The website functions as a scheduling system for referees for youth sports programs. If you think that sounds "small," realize that the system schedules 3 different people for about 15,000 games per year. There are about 500 active users.

    I think that most of what I need is in the area of the XMOD module, or something like that, with some very customized features. I've studied DNN now for several months and analyzed all the various modules as to how they would apply. There are user forms, upload and download of data, as well as data driven events.

    I'm sure there are some of you out there with strong knowledge of what I need, or know of somewhere to turn. I have contacted a few folks who do DNN Modules such as Data Springs, but their estimates were extremely high. I don't need someone to do everything, but I do need someone who can customize the data manipulation that I need done.

    Hi
    i have previous experience with mambo cms. i am confident that dnn can do the job - even more. the xmod module may not be able to handle it *or you would have to be a real xmod expert to design forms and templates that will fulfill your requirements (it seems). i suggest listx from http://dnn.bi4ce.com because this actually interacts with custom tables in sqlserver. (xmod interacts with its "own" tables in sqlserver only). either that or create your own module.

    try it out.

    in addition, your issue is more on database development (you should look into how mambo manages this data and recreate it in sqlserver)
