Dot Net Nuke is an open source web application framework written in VB.NET for the ASP.NET framework. The application's content management system is extensible and customizable through the use of skins and modules, and it can be used to create, deploy, and manage intranet, extranet, and web sites.

Hi,
What is ContentManagement System?

Content management system (CMS) is a system used to manage the content of a Web site. Content management systems are deployed primarily for interactive use by a potentially large number of contributors: A content management system helps to create, manage, publish, and distribute information. With respect to the internet or intranets, a CMS is designed to manage site content, design, membership, security, hosting, and vendor options.

Yes. DotNetNuke has built-in multi-language localization features allow administrators worldwide to easily use and adapt DotNetNuke software for their own use. In fact, many people have already created "language packs" -- such as Spanish, Dutch, and German -- for their DotNetNuke portals.

Hi bluesky,
What kinds of content does DotNetNuke manage?

DotNetNuke is designed to manage the type of online content that would be most frequently added or edited on a particular site. To handle these content types -- such as text, graphics, charts, and calendars -- DotNetNuke employs "modules." These are modular pieces of code that give some form of specific functionality to the user, and are grouped together in units to form complete web pages

What site settings can I alter?

You can alter all the basic aspects of your site through the "site settings" page. These settings include the title of the site, search engine description (keywords) and submission, user welcome messages, logos, site background and "skins."

Hi,
What are skins in dotnetNuke?

Skins are customized and interchangeable sets of graphics which allow administrators to easily change the look of their websites, without having to reorganize their content. In "skinning" a site, administrators can completely change the look of their portal without the need to reorganize content – all at the click of a button.

Can I easily upload a file to my site?

Yes. DotNetNuke has a powerful file management tool which allows administrators the ability to upload files directly from their computer to their site, without having to use FTP. Any uploaded file becomes instantly available to be used on the portal, or listed in a module that handles documents or file downloads.

Hi ,
Cna u Explain How to create a page in DNN

Hi,
U can Download the DotNet Nuke in the following linkhttp://www.dotnetnuke.com/tabid/125/default.aspx.

In ASP.NET 2.0, there is a new concept known as a "Starter Kit" which is designed to enable a developer to configure a fully functional development environment for a specific application within minutes. The Starter Kit automates many of the procedures which you had to perform manually in the past. We have created a DotNetNuke Starter Kit to leverage the benefits of this feature.

You can get the DotNetNuke 4.0.0 Starter Kit here:

DotNetNuke > Products > Downloads

Once you have the DotNetNuke_4.0.0_StarterKit.vsi downloaded, you simply need to double-click the file in order to launch the installer.


Click Next



Click Ok ( in the future we will likely digitally sign the Starter Kit to avoid this message ).


Click Finish

Now you are ready to create a DotNetNuke application from the Starter Kit using Visual Web Developer. Launch Visual Web Developer and choose New Web Site from the File menu.


In the New Web Site dialog box ( shown below ) select the DotNetNuke Web Application Framework template. In the Location field you should select HTTP ( you can select File System but as per my earlier comments, you may experience some strange behavior ). You will need to specify the location for the website ( if you enter a value of The browser is not supported. your website will be created in C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\DotNetNuke and if you select File System your website will be created in C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\My Documents\Visual Studio 2005\WebSites\DotNetNuke ). Since DotNetNuke is only available in Visual Basic you should select this value from the Language combobox. Select Ok to continue.
