DotNetNuke

Minimize

DotNetNuke is a content management system (CMS) for websites, easy to use and highly extensible, with lots of add on modules.

One of my customers made me use Joomla. After suffering with that for three years, I was not motivated to look into another CMS, especially since I had written my own Asp.net framework, which of course I loved (and want to port to DotNetNuke).

After peering at DotNetNuke for a year, I finally gave it a try and immediately saw how powerful and easy to use it was. Have been moving my customers' and my websites to it since.

When you want to add a form that submits to another website on your DotNetNuke page, you have a problem, because a DotNetNuke page already has a pretty much all encompassing form.

You could use an iframe to add a form to your DotNetNuke page. This works fairly well.

You could buy a DotNetNuke module, but these usually first submit the form to the server and then the server submits the form. This is not so good, because the form does not come from the user's browser directly.

There are a couple of great articles here on this subject.

He has a couple of conversion tools.

This page converts an Aweber.com form for use on a DotNetNuke page.

This page converts a Paypal button for use on a DotNetNuke page.

While these are interesting solutions, the code excessively complicates the page. Also, everytime you update your form on Aweber you have to use the conversion tool again. Aweber.com is happy to keep all that code on their website. All you have to do is place a little javascript on your website.

For simplicity in maintenance of the code, you can use an IFRAME and then make a javascript call to tell the FORM to break out of the frame. See these articles.
