I need to know if it is possible to install DNN to link from a flash animation. The flash would have several links to different DNN pages which would each work like separate web sites. Would i have to install DNN once for each link into different folders within the hosting? I hope this makes sense and hope you can help me. Roger

Hello, This should be possible from one DotNetNuke installation, you need to create the pages in your DotNetNuke installation, copy the URL for each of the pages, and then use those URLs in the links from your flash file. If you want to use a different domain name for each of the DotNetNuke pages then you could create multiple portals within the one DotNetNuke installation. If you are interested in how DotNetNuke portals work have a look at: Issue 17 – DotNetNuke Portals

I've just read your email ' This issue is that I have a flash intro which links at the end to several different pages. each page needs to look like a new site with the top buttons listing the main topics in this category and submenus as normal listed below. there are 9 category's. can this be done? ' This will probably be best using the multiple portals method. It may be worth providing an example of the menu structure to confirm, thanks

Hi, Thanks for the responces and i have managed to create child portals which i can link to from my flash intro page. I have an issue now around how to make the flash intro the first page that loads! Currently the default.aspx page loads which is the main DNN page. I think I need to make a splash page for my flash intro, but i dont want there to be anything else on the screen except my flash intro. The links to the rest of my site including the admin areas will come from there. Do i need to create a skin to just hold this flash file or is there another way to do it. Hoping for help Thanks Roger Goodwin

I would do this by creating a skin which just holds the flash file, I think this would be the easiest way to implement it, Thanks,

OK that sounds fine, can i do a skin with just a content pain? without any other formating ie admin header logo menus etc? Also is there a way to have the flash file embeded into this skin? Thanks again for your help. Roger

Yes the content pane is the minimum for a skin. - I would also include the admin control panel at the top of the skin (just incase you run into problems it could be handy to have) Yes just add your flash code into the skin it should work ok, thanks,

I know i am going to look a little thick now, but can you let me know what the code for the flash would look like. I have watched the skinning tutorials and I cant seem to find out how to include a file when i create a skin. Can you point me in the right direction. Thanks again Roger Goodwin

You need to use the flash code that you would normally place in a html document. - You can include the .swf file in your skin file and then use: <%= SkinPath %> in your skin.htm file to fill in the URL to the flash file ie: "<%= SkinPath %>myflashfile.swf" If it's becoming confusing this may help: How to display Flash Games in DotNetNuke

If friendly URLS are enabled they are in the format of something like: http://www.dnncreative.com/Resource...fault.aspx The parts that you need are: http://www.dnncreative.com/tabid/12...fault.aspx The tab id is the unique id for the page - the text inbetween this can be any text - it's created to get picked up as keywords by the search engines, ie: http://www.dnncreative.com/anyoldpa...fault.aspx will still be the same URL Thanks,

Hello, Friendly URLs should be enabled by default. To check go to host menu / host settings / advanced settings / friendly URL settings Make sure the box is ticked Thanks,
