Total DNN noob. I can code some WebForms and MVC, but having no luck finding anything concrete out there about doing what I want in DNN
How would I go about setting up a client portal in DNN? I want to have separate areas for the client, including a main dashboard that aggregates content for the client from the other areas. The other areas would include a matter area (with matter information - some auto generated for client, other information to be input by client), a documents area, an events area, a tasks area, a communications area (for chat, or forum style questions) and a profile area for the client (contact info, invoicing, etc.).
What I'd like is for a client to login and see only their items. An admin would log in and get the same "screens" or "areas", but with aggregated content for ALL users.
I know that's a lot, but I would imagine setting me up with a way to do the overall app and then how to create the areas to navigate to would get me going. I know there are modules for each of those things out there, but a) I wouldn't know how to integrate this into one client app and b) some are cost prohibitive.
Most of what I find focuses on setting up one module. Do I go that route and set up user controls within for the different areas? Or do I create separate little modules and tie them together? This is primarily where I am stuck. I can create something like this with standalone web forms or MVC. Hooking into DNN is where I get stuck.
I appreciate any guidance / samples.
