DotNetNuke7
-
Anyone here actively using DotNetNuke7 for production sites at the moment? If so, what is your thoughts? Found any showstoppers for your use case? I have been looking at various CMS over the last couple of weeks. Currently have Joomla 1.5 on my current website, but looking to rebuild from scratch on a new server and fancied a change from Joomla (i.e. latest Joomla 3) I have downloaded, installed and tested DotNetNuke7, OrchardCMS and Wordpress 3.5. Orchard just a little too plain. Worpress 3.5 was excellent to work with, but think it is too focused towards blogging and less towards content. Also had an issue with the ftp mechanism for downloading and installing plugins etc. from the web interface, and had to result to RDPing onto the box to place downloads into the required folders. Did spend some time try to resolve the issue but gave up as didn't look like I was going to go with the platform as a final choice. Pretty impressed with DNN7, and think this is going to be the choice. The fact it is also written in C# and ASP.net rather than PHP would make a pleasant change. So, if anyone is using V7, love to hear you thoughts. Or, if anyone else has had a play with it (or earlier versions), what did you think? Any other worthy contenders I could consider?

I looked at Drupal, but after reading some horror stories and general opinion that the current code base is broken and so fragmented it is a risk, decided not to bother with it. They will maybe sort out some of the underlying framework by V8. Haven't heard of TikiWiki before, certainly looks like it can do a lot out of the box...

If you can get around the price, Sitefinity can do almost anything and you get most if not all of Telerik's products for use in the site. I work with it daily at on an enterprise level.

Haven't used it for a couple a years. Back then, too many things were non-standard that could have used the standard asp.net providers - which was both odd and annoying. Extending it wasn't too hard, but I found the APIs somewhat inelegant. As long as you just want to use built-in features, it's pretty easy to work with. I would consider SharePoint Online[^] as an alternative.
