Is it possible to have two or more separate installs on the same portal? What I need to have is separate tabs (pages) that will display different documents. Is this possible? If so can you point me in the right direction? I tried to add the module to another page but it installs a copy of what is on the other page. Thanks

Hi Bill, When any DMX module is instatiated, it will point to the true "Root" collection. What you need to do is have one module where you manage all your different user collections. That module would be on a page for administrative use only. Then with that module, create folders (collections), for example: Brochures Specifications Misc Documents Then, on the page where you want a module to show only Brochures, go into that module's options and set the new "psuedo root" for that instatiated module to "Brochures". This will more obvious when you look at the options page. Hope this helps. Rob Ralston

Thanks- I deleted the one that I had already set up and restructured like you described- Works great.

About Bring2mind

Bring2mind is the company of Peter Donker, a DotNetNuke enthusiast who has been involved with the platform from the very beginning. At the same time as the market for modules emerged, he realized there was no good document management solution for the platform yet and he set about creating this. In part he based the module on his experience with other document management systems he used while working as a researcher. His module, Document Exchange, was an instant success and has since become the premier document management solution for DotNetNuke. In 2004 he created Bring2mind as a vehicle for the module and is one of the few successful businesses solely based on a DotNetNuke product.
