Hi, I'm trialling DMX 4. I like the concept of categories and local root folders. However, it would be great if the list of categories displayed to a user only included those categories that have documents for which the user has access to, if you get what I mean? I'd like to use DMX for quite a large collection of documents that would be accessible by both internal and external users and would not like the complete list of categories exposed to the external users. Is this possible?

Hi Jeff, Not really. You might be able to do something with a custom view of the data, but it'll be hard to change in the regular interface. Keep in mind that everytime you click, data is dynamically loaded. This way the application can scale well. It doesn't matter if you have 10s of thousands of documents, the interface gets only the stuff it needs. If you want to check all categories for content on a page hit, you potentially have huge waiting times. On another note: it runs contrary to the design of the module. The folders and documents are subject to permissions, not the other stuff. It was never foreseen as a use case. Kind regards, Peter Donker

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.
