We will be migrating our boards and commissions, and council pages to our new site. My goal is to allow users to upload Minutes, Agendas and Synopsis for the meetings with DMX. We then need to update the Meeting summary page. Our current pages are laid our like this: Meeting Type Date Agenda Minutes Synopsis Work Session 1/7/08 Agenda Minutes Synopsis Regular Session 12/7/08 Agenda Minutes Synopsis Right now I can't see any way Automatically update this page based on the files uploaded via DMX. Do you have any suggestions on how I could update this page? Should I punt and just have them updated it manually?

Hi Phil, I've done this sort of thing before. The thing is that the DMX core is not the right place to start. Use the DMX to store and protect content, use something else to wire it together into a dossier in a case like this. I used a module of mine which basically manages a DB table. Files can be uploaded into DMX using the interface and the DB record can keep track of that. In the display it is trivial to do what you desire. The contents come out as XML so you can make the fanciest presentations possible. Contact me by email for this. It'll probably take the form of a custom project, but like I said it is mostly done. Peter

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.
