Hello,

I have a DNN parent portal and about 35 child/subportals. There are about 5 pages in all 35 child/subportals that has the same content. Like contact information on one page is same in all 35 child portals. How can i mange if i change anything from parent portal like contact information reflect on all 35 child portals. So that i dont have to go though every child portals and change the information one by one. Same thing with other 4 pages as well.

 I want centralize handling of shared information on child portals. How can i do that???

There are modules available that will permit you to share pages, modules and user among portals in a single installation. Look at products from dnnmasters.com for some examples. I have used their Multi Portal User Sharing Extreme module successfully.

Hello,

Your other option is to use RSS feeds for sharing content. Setup a module on your main site such as Ventrian News Articles module. Anything that you publish to that will be placed in the RSS feed.

Then on your other portals display the RSS feed in the appropriate pages.

This makes it easy to share content between portals and also other websites / users.

If you want further info on RSS feeds check out: Issue no 3

Thanks,

Thanks a lot for your prompt reply. Really appreciated.

Joseph i went through the description of module you suggested but it only talk about sharing user and users roles among portal. This is a nice feature but i want the content /pages to be shred between the portal as well.

The only thing i want i can manage is all the content and pages of sub portals from parent portal. Remove module from a CONTACT INFO page it should also remove in all the sub portals CONTACT  INFO Page.

I know its a idealistic solution but some thing even close to this will be a big help.

And Lee thanks for the RSS tip i will use to display simple infor but for now i am dealing with whole page with grafix and multiple modules in it

carlliw, Are you still looking for a solution to this issue. Did you find something that works?

There are some modules (none of which I've used) that can be used to share users and content across multiple portals in a single installation. If I were looking, I'd look at Snowcovered.

Also, I believe that the roadmap for DotNetNuke includes content sharing. You can probably find it in some blogs at DotNetNuke.com. My guess (and somewhat fuzzy memory) is that this may happen in the next year. I know nothing about timing, but I don't think that this is in the next couple of major releases.

We own DNNMasters MPUS Extreme which has MPUS-X Portal Navigator built in, I think this will work for my needs once they get it working for DNN 6. I have also played with writing triggers for some modules, when they update the trigger can update other modules. carlliw might benefit from this thought.

Basically what I need is a page that has 20 or so sub-pages to show on the menu of all sub-portals, this is doable by creating a portal template and using it as the basis for all child portals but then they are disconnected so updating a URL for one of the sub-pages can get tedious. I want to be able to update it on the "master" portal and reflect on all the others. Any clue if MPUS-X Portal Navigator will fill this need?

Thanks.

You should ask DNNMasters that question. I haven't used that module.
